Greetings...

Just saying howdy - new to WP. I'm a 31 years old aspie male from Souf Africa, diagnosed about 1 year ago. Apart from ze aspergers (or 'asd'), I have been a lifelong alcoholic and drug addict which of course has only compounded the problem - especially since I've been clean (2012): The further I get from the bottle, the more I realize just how screwed I actually am in life...It really is like a race you have to run without the legs to do it.

Thus I am currently suffering from extreme burnout, isolation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, misanthropy, despair, and Lack Of Direction In Life which has now driven me here. I know there's not much anyone can do or say to 'make it better', but I do hope that I'll be able to learn a thing or two while I'm here (and I'll try and contribute where I can).

Cheers,
Joe Foster

Hi, I'm new here too, also only recently diagnosed as an adult, 42. Had alcohol problems myself and been diagnosed with a range of psychiatric disorders. This is the latest but the one that actually makes sense to me
