Hail and Well Met

ANGRY: I had typed out a great intro, and my post got killed because of having URLs in there, and no way to go back and retrieve it (would have been nice to have kept it as a draft and told to edit).

I'm new to all this, and still learning (the Imposter syndrome is strong in this one), so bear with me as I get my feet under me.

TLDR: Hyper-intelligent Adult (40+M) with other diagnoses, recently getting ADD (2 years ago) diagnosis and treatment for ADD which lead to better controlling the symptoms, and lead to being comfortable enough and dropping just enough of the lifelong masks for my NEW current psych to put me through to an ASD specialist for diagnosis and treatment/coping strategies/training.

Relief with all of this is palpable - because it not only helps to explain things but as well as provides me with avenues to help deal with the struggles I've been masking all my life - and hopefully provides me with better tools and coping strategies. Watching videos, reading, and seeing myself in all of this as well as realizing there are other ways to deal with how I process things and what I go through on a regular basis - is absolutely amazing!

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

(And I think you can do URLs after you've been here for awhile, after the software is sure you're OK.)

Welcome ,, Welcome KenpoDragon... . happy landing to this Wrong Planet..!

Welcome to Wrong Planet. Good luck on your journey through life. I am 74 years old and it was only about 5 years ago that I came to understand that I had Asperger's Syndrome. That really helped to explain a lot to me. I even figured out how I became an Aspie at around 3 years of age. The short answer is that I died. I was struck by a large bull and died. At least the left side of my brain, the dominant size died. The right side of my brain came back online and decided to carry on. I had what is called a NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE at the time. But I came back as an entirely different person. I became a right side of my skull - dominant brain. The two sides of the human brain (right and left) are very different people. But we coexist together.

This is probably more information than what you need to know. But perhaps in time you will come to understand why you are different. This difference can give you many distinct advantages in life. So do not always look at the negatives but look at your positives and use them.

welcome! something wrong with the site yesterday, I found it impossible to use. Better today! Glad you are with us!
