Hi.

My 10 year old son has an ASD diagnosis, but they can't say if he's Asperger's or not according to my ex-wife.

I have bipolar disorder.

My sister (psychiatric nurse come counsellor), and two friends who are Special Educational Needs teachers reckon I'm probably ASD too.

I think this site may offer a lot to me because in 50 years I haven't met anybody much like me.

So there we are, A warm Hello to one and all.

Hello, and welcome!

I only figured out last September that I probably had AS, or an ASD, and I was 51. Looking around and reading the posts was a real education. I've come to understand a lot more about myself.

First of all, I want to say welcome. I am a 55YO Aspie and I was diagnosed just a few years ago. This site has been validation for me that there are other people just like myself.
