Hi, Im new here. What can i say. Diagnosed with 'low level autism' when i was in primary school back in the 80's before AS existed as a diagnosis. Booked in to see Tony Attwood for a AS diagnosis early 2009. I score off the chart on the AS quotient test. live North of Brisbane Qld Australia. Physical age of mid 30's feels like mid 20's in my head. Dropped out of high school due to issues with peers and have now done post grad uni (by distance ed) and looking at going back for a Masters. Married and gainfully employed but the coping skills are pushed to the absolute limit trying to be normal for work. Got a few obsessions, old cars, Tori Amos and Flyleaf. Hope to stay and play.

Welcome aboard, Lith!

Why be normal? After all, it's just another setting on the washing machine, right? :wink:

Hi
Thanks for the welcome. I had a bit of trouble joining the forum because........well i'm stupid some times. I've had a bit of a trawl around and it looks like a really good forum
