I just realised a couple months ago that I have Asperger's, after realising my daughter (3yo) has ASD. I'm just starting to feel weird about knowing which social skills I am "missing" or not understanding the way "normals" do...and then starting to doubt my understanding of things that happen in social interactions. So I'm hoping I can find some people with similar experiences here, to work out what I can do.

Going to a doctor can help, and a therapist to work on any social issues you might be lacking.

Welcome annelinnea, I think here on WrongPlanet you will meet a lot of people with similar issues.

Hi & Welcome,
Seeing things in my son also helped me realize things about myself. If you are apt to read and post you can pick up quite a bit from the perspective of people who have ASD. No doctors or therapists here though, and so you will have to see those separately.
