I am a 33 yr old woman planning to get diagnosed soon. It's been both relief and sadness to find out I am Aspie. The relief is that it's not my fault and I don't need to just try harder, the sadness is the problems won't go away not matter how hard I try. I need to learn some new skills.
Unlike most people here I am extremely outgoing and have a relatively large collection of friends, most of whom I am close to in various ways. Maybe because I am so late to find out I have a non-linear set of life skills.
Mostly I have mastered lots of social skills like I have great eye contact mainly because I was taught as a child you must look people in the eyes or you are rude.
Some people think I am too intense but I don't really care.
I work voluntary in mental health advocacy (I was diagnosed with bipolar at 22).
What I really need help with is organisation, I lose things all the time and I am upset by my own lack of organisation.
I also have dyspraxia and I am sick of bumping into people in the shopping centre.
If anyone has useful advice on those two matters please share
Thank you

Just a tip. Make a place for everything in your home/car/workplace. Never just put something down, but always return it to where it goes, no matter how much trouble it is.
