Hi everyone,
I am a Spanish woman, 43 years old and I have been reading these forums for a while, after I discovered that I could be Asperger. That was about 8 months ago and I was having the worst time of my life. My desperate situation took me to discover this new universe, my place, which I did not think it existed. I thought I was the only weird one out there.
Luckily, that hell ended up meeting someone online that was patient enough to listen to me and after a great load of daily emails, he pointed out that I could be asperger. My first reaction, after a quick search on internet was to say "no, I think you are completelly wrong, I am very good at doing things with my hands.... bla bla bla..." Of course I had just read the first page I found and did not research more. After that, he sent me a huge ammount of links, books, movie titles... and suddenly everything fell into place. I can say that my life changed that very moment I finally found out who I was after so much struggle. All the blame and guilt for so many problems, misunderstandings and really bad situations, dissapeared and have made me feel alive again.
After this matrix moment, as my online friend calls it (btw he is an aspie too) made me want to be sure, so I am now in the process of getting diagnosed, it has been a long wait, apparently I am one of the invisible aspergers, that have learned very well how to hide to fit in society, so my psychologist says she wants to do it well and take all the info she needs... she could really write a book about me by now... I do not mind the wait, she is really cool.
I am pretty sure that my diagnosis will be positive, one because I know! and two, because of my psychologist comments lately, she already talks as I am one, which she did not at the beginning.
I am happy I have found you guys! Until now I have only read your comments but plan to be an active part of this community...
