So I'm new, haven't even finished my profile. I will, don't worry. Anyway, I'm 29, female, and I haven't been officially diagnosed but I know now that I'm an Aspie. I've always known I was different but couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I've recently gotten to know an Aspie and it made some things make sense, so I did some research. What I found explained everything. I took several online tests and scored pretty high. I'm just having a rough time. I'm not ashamed of it, I think Aspies are beautiful, amazing people. I'm nearly in love with the one I met recently. But it doesn't change how I view myself. I still feel so awkward and it's affecting my life and I don't have proof yet so it's hard to explain it to people without a piece of paper. I'm just wondering if anyone can share anything about working through the initial discovery and the feelings that come with it. Can't seem to express them all..
