Apologies for the short introduction, I was about half way through selected it all and deleted it by accident. I now can't remember what I wrote so here's the cliff notes.

I have never officially been diagnosed but after my mum joked about me being autistic I did some research and it seems to explain my oddness.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia just before leaving school and could not cope well with the informality of uni.

I am also going out with an aspie, most people say our relationship is strange (like we don't do the kissy/love you thing) but I find it nice to be able to come home and be "me". He is also quite a bit older than me but I think mental age wise we are a good match.

Except for work which takes up more if my time than id like, usually we are training and competing our 4 dogs in canine athletics (one of ours was EU champ) for a few years. Other than that we have just completely renovated our house and are just finishing that off and MG/Rover/Austin cars (OH and I met at a car meet).

There is nothing strange about your relationship if you are both happy. Happiness is what matters! :D

Given that you are called 'Grovepark', am I to assume you are awaiting diagnosis at the Ladywell Unit in Lewisham?
