Hi,

I'm 37 and an expat living in Berlin. I just want to share that after reading a ton of self-help books, I landed doing an online test about Asperger's syndrome and bingo! After that, I started reading the book "Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome" and then a lot of things started to make sense to me.

I'm still assimilating this. I don't have a bad life, better than average I think, but also with the typical struggles of Asperger's. Of course I work on IT. Nice to know that communities like this exist.

Welcome! I am 54 and was diagnosed only three months ago.

You mention that you work in IT. I do a low level accounting type job. No complaints. It's a nice job. Do you have a family and friends? Not prying just interested.
