Hi newbie here.
I'm a bit of an old fart, undiagnosed, probable Aspie, with a shed-load of history from the sublime to the bizarre.
Old enough to date back to the days when AS was just a twinkle in Asperger's eye (well, OK, slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean). Anyhow, it was when doctors barely gave credence to autism, let alone AS. The only time I've tried to get a doctor to listen they said I was too old to have AS, 'cos it would have been picked up when I was a kid (yeh, right, back in the day when different meant weird).
Potted life history - hated high school, just about survived university, hated all the jobs I've had (told you - old fart ). By luck, rather than judgement, I've stayed in work and do OK. 29 years going insane as a singleton; by chance met one and only girlfriend; got married; had a couple of kids; still married (is that woman insane or what?).
I just about keep my sanity & head above water.
Oh, my username is a version of a star's name in Orion's belt, and the avatar (if it's come out OK) is that star.
Well that's me in a nutshell.
