Hi,

This is a big step for me, to join the discussion. Occasionally I have my back up against a wall and need a little positive support, so thought I would give the discussions a try, when I have something specific to deal with. Since I never feel "safe" emotionally around people, I'd like to feel safe here, and that of course means being civil in my responses as well.

I am not officially diagosed with AS, and I have had therapy as a young adult that provided other labels and left me confused and disoriented in social settings. One of Temple Grandin's books set me on this course of self-examination and several on-line tests seem to indicate I have AS. So...as a woman in a technical field of not many women and at age 63, I am resolved to try something new here and upgrade my attitude toward myself as well.

So, hello everyone, and particularly to my age group.
