Congratulations, your life can now be divided into 4-12 year chunks.

Funny, you don't look that old.

Anyway, Happy Birthday.

Do you share the experience of us older ASpies of having suffered through school in the days before diagnosis was common?

Happy birthday shrox :) I'm afraid you youngsters don't get a pass to the strip club until you are 50. :wink:

As another oldie (52) I can definitely say 'Yes!'.

Yes I did, but in a somewhat different way. My second grade report card said "does not work well with others, wants to take control." I was reading at a college graduate level by sixth grade. Always knew more than the teachers, (except the really good ones). Few friends, and I only realized a few years ago that girls liked me...geez, now I know why Marlene came over to "drive around" that night...

I got to draw a lot.

Have a Happy one, and glad to hear you're one of us who were Pre Dx.

Yes, but how old do you look? Are you still scaring people in that town you visit?
I think we who existed before the Asperger's diagnosis did and suffered in school for it should start a thread.

Yes, we prehistoric ASpies ought to have a thread. "What It Was Before Dx Was Invented"

Hey! Happy Birthday. Mine was last Thursday. I turned 46. I bet you'd get carded by the bouncer and the bartender, and the strippers would all want to adopt you, 'cuz you're such a cute kid.

I was "ADD" in 2nd grade, but I know there had to be a lot more to it than that.
