Hello forum members. I am a 40-something wife and mother. After lots of reading and doing some online testing, I think I may have Asperger's. My RAADS score is 137 and AQ score is 33. (It wouldn't let me post the links.)

There's a whole lot more that I would like to say...as to why I think I have asperger's. Later.
Right now, I can say that in the last few days, I've looked at my whole life through the lens of asperger's and so many things seem to fall into place.

I'm 40yo mother to a 10yo boy, living on my own, trying to keep things together for us. Waiting on appoinments and official diagnosis. My long-time PCP is behind me, fortunately. I don't know a lot about testing yet, but preliminary scores of 33 and 37. Fortunate to have my passion as my paying career and a very flexible lifestyle. But it's not easy on my own. Every day, I wonder how I do it. Looking for support network, friends. :heart:

Hi keepitreal. Wow, you sound like me! Kind of confronting and liberating, isn't it??! Are you going to get an official Dx, or stay with your own knowledge?
