I recently began seeing a therapist who suggested I may have Asperger's. I was floored. I'm 34 and have had trouble coping with society all my life. I never considered this. I know I was evaluated for autism as a child, but it was decided I didn't have it because I was intelligent. But I have since learned that Asperger's and high functioning autism don't come with mental retardation. I'm not sure what to think. I'm afraid to tell my husband, but on the other hand it would explain to him why I am so detached emotionally. He always complains of this. I have strong emotions, I just can't show or articulate them.
