Hi, I'm new here

[indiscreet]

I've only recently been diagnosed as AS although I'm past retirement age. It's an odd feeling knowing for the first time in my life why I am as I am. It's a relief but at the same time it's causing me to look at so many things from a different angle.

 

I look forward to reading posts here - and learning from them - and maybe joining in from time to time.

Hi and welcome.

 

I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago and am now 45 and it's the same kind of feeling for me although I had some kind of inkling it was Aspergers over the last years or so.

I've been attempting to attach a post to a quote but without success. Last night the quote came up but without a post.

 

Anyway, what I intended to say was that I had no idea women could have AS until I read an article last year in a magazine. As a result I contacted the National Autistic and did a test. I was lucky enough to have a sympathetic GP and in July I was seen by a psychiatrist who confirmed I am AS.
