Hello!

I'm a 35 year old British guy living in Germany. After another excruciating social experience this past weekend which annoyed the hell out of my partner I'm seeking diagnosis if nothing else than to be able to explain to people why I behave the way I do.

I'm not sure how that is going to go as my German isn't great, but there is an autism centre near me I'm going to make contact with.

It's quite re-assuring to know that I'm not just a social misfit and there is something that makes me behave the way I do! It'll be good to speak to some people with the same experiences

Thanks :)

I've been fervently consuming literature on the subject. It's like reading about my life, I really wish I had been diagnosed as a kid. I had a lot of social and developmental problems and did have therapy but back in the 80s no-one knew what was wrong with me back then and I've just had to find ways to deal (or not) with it myself.
