Hi there

Hello.

I've only just been diagnosed with Aspergers just last month. What led to that was finally seeing a psychologist about my depression that I'd been suffering with on and off for about 12 years or so. I'm 34, so that's a long time to be wondering around wondering what the hell is wrong. Relationships have always been problematic, especially with the opposite sex which has pretty much been non existent, hence my depression I suppose.

I've done quite a bit of research, but some of it seems to be rather contradictory which has confused me to no end. Though the psychologist lent me two books, one of which is called "Aspergers in Love" which I kept reading and kept seeing myself in there. My psychologist is suggesting I have some more session with her in regard to fixing the relationship problems, but it just seems terrifying as hell so I'm a bit iffy on that.

I'm still learning what having Aspergers actually means for me. Things kind of make a lot more sense now, but I'm not sure if I have to change anything or need to.

Hi there!

Welcome Grebo!:)

Nice to meet you, Grebo.

Hi There!
I'm on my way, I'm making it...

sorry, er where was I again? oh, hello there!..

Welcome Grebo... another Aussie (YAY)

You don't need to change anything... except your perception of yourself.

It now has a home.


If you need any relationship assistance, you might be better off talking to experienced people here than to a shrink... I believe they eat their young. -- oh no, that's social workers isn't it.

anyway - welcome.

Hi and welcome

I was only diagnosed last year and now everything that did not before makes sense, it has not changed me, but allowed me to be and find my true self...

Hi Grebo

welcome to WP

If you think that something needs to be changed to improve your quality of life, then you should do it. If not, then stay how you are.
thats my advice.

I hope you enjoy posting here.
