Hi guys, hope I am posting this in the right place.
I am in my mid forties and have suspected I may be an Aspie for many yers since my mother suggested it to me. I am married with children and have a decent job but have stalled in my career, mainly due to non-existent interpersonal skills.
My wife just thinks that I am rude and ani-social, but I just cannot cope with social occasions at all no matter how hard I try.
I do not want to use anything as an excuse, but I cannot work out whether a formal diagnosis would be useful or not. I do not want a label, but it might be helpful for others to understand that I am not choosing to be like this. Most of the time I feel like I am on a different planet from everyone else and it is very lonely here!
Your collective wisdom and experience would be greatly appreciated.
