I'm a Newbie as far as discovering AS. It is such a relief to understand why I am the way I am. Now the challenge is practicing self forgiveness for all the years of disasterous results in the relationship department.
It is hard to look back over your life and see it absolutely littered with all the mistakes (in NT eyes) and knowing there is not a thing you can do apart from accept it, which sounds simple and in practice, is hard.
I feel the SAME way! To make things worse, AS apparantly has a wide degree of symptoms. So I won't fully fit in with all. Some might not appreciate my interests. I may have some trouble with some others interests. To make things even WORSE, I lived so much of my life trying to fit in, I am like half way between NT and AS. I will never be NT, but I may not appear AS either. Since my perspective is different, etc... I can't even see what the NTs and AS people see about me. That is part of the reason I want to meet you guys and gals.
