Hi, I'm new...

I just recently registered here a couple of days ago and I'm still skeptical about whether it was the right choice for me in the long run.

My diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome was first presented to me when I was in middle school (about 8 or 9 years ago [I'm 22 as of this post]). I didn't pay much attention during that moment so I didn't think that much of it, mostly because of my lack of education of the subject and that I didn't clearly noticed my symptoms (But I did know that I was different somehow). However, it became very clear to me during my sophomore or junior year of highschool (5 or 6 years ago) when I received a more formal psychological evaluation. Because that I was going through multiple issues, in addition, it drove me to a deeper depression at the time which caused me to alienate all that I would come into contact with and almost everyone that I knew before.

Now today I'm pretty much friendless and I'm still struggling with trying to maintain a sense of livelihood. I question my future often and I wander around the idea of how I could possible have a longevity and be remotely happy at the same time. I'm still trying though, because out of everything that I have been though I know how beautiful life is and how much more it can be.

Thank you for taking the time in reading through this.

Thomas,

I'm new too and was just diagnosed yesterday at the age of 36. I long suspected something was off but I didn't really want to be labeled. I understand your perspective - the friendlessness, the pointless road ahead, the apparent lack of purpose, etc... I guess it's up to you to create your own path and walk it - even though everyone else may be going the other way.
