Hi! This is my first post so I wanted to introduce myself. I'm an Englishwoman, living in Switzerland for the past 9 years.
I only began reading about Aspergers last Monday, after a(nother) terrible day at work, but since then I've been reading everything obsessively. Finally, finally I understand my life! I meet every criterion x100 apart from needing routine - I'm awful at routines. I also think my father was a textbook case (but I was adopted so no genetic component).
I'm 38 years old and am married with 2 children. My husband also has many ASD traits, which is maybe why we have lasted so long together but my children seem to be utterly NT so far!
I'm finding living in this world so difficult. I'm grateful to have found a community of people who actually understand.
