Asperger's explains a lot of life-weirdness I had wondered "why" about. I understand now, it's a relief to have answers instead of questions. I didn't see this coming though, ever.

Welcome, Jaynn.
Yes, it was a revelation for me as well. Many years battling something whose shape I couldn't clearly discern.

Is there any assistance or advice you think you need at the moment?

Welcome to wrong planet.

Your experiences mirror what a lot of us middle aged "aspies" have gone through.

You and I were not the only ones who did not know. Hardly anybody knew when we were growing up and well into our adulthood.

At least unlike many Autistics that came before us, we found out before leaving this earth.

So how did you eventually find out?
