Didgee,

You don't mention how old you are but I know that for a lot of people (let's say 30 YO and older) have very similar stories because Asperger's was not a diagnostic choice when they were children/teens. Even now, it's not easy to find providers who are skilled at diagnosing Asperger's in adults. Hell, I've even come across some who think that it's impossible to diagnose an adult with Asperger's unless that person is able to bring in a parent or other person who can confirm the person's experiences and disposition as a child.
