Hello all!

This is my first time in the Autism world though I know we are neighbours! Howdy!

I'm not NT. I've ADHD Combined and also dyspraxia. There seems to be a lot of argument about whether dyspraxia is on the autism spectrum, it doesn't seem fully resolved. I do test frequently high for Asperger's but I'm fairly sure it's because of my dyspraxia as I felt kin to dyspraxics and ADHDers but not so much Aspergers.

Anyway, my reason for being here is my boyfriend who thinks he's Asperger and I think he is as well and I've been having a tough time dealing with it. I can get the social awkardness but it's the lack of empathy that I've been finding exceedingly difficult. This is a new arena for me. I've known quite a lot of people who are dyslexic, or dys or whatever so I'm used to social awkwardness. My family is used to my constantly pestering them about social situations. It's taken me years of study of other humans and I can now blend in but I generally get outed.

So yea, I will restrain my impulsiveness to offload everything all at once and get to know the place a little.
