Hi! This year has been a revelation. Firstly, a cascade of symptoms over the past few years has eventually led me to a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Hypermobility type) and in learning (voraciously, in a rather blinkered fashion) about EDS I came across its correlation with Aspergers.
In learning about AS in women I was able to see myself described in surprising detail, enough for me to confidently put myself on the spectrum, though I would like a formal diagnosis. After I've digested the fact that I, and most likely some of my family members, have a genetic difference.
I am a mum myself and would like to know how much my discoveries affect my child. It is a relief though, to realise that my quirks have a root cause.
