I'm new to this forum. I have recently come to believe that I have many signs of Aspergers. The one glaring one to me is the lack of relationships that I have had or now have. I am 56 years old and haven't had the ability to have any relationships whatever. Social situations horrify me, and I find myself rehursing everything I do before hand as to try and "get it right this time". After reading about Aspergers, for once I feel that there might be a possible explanation for the confusion I have felt all my life with just doing average everyday things. My question, to anyone who can help is: What is my first step to getting a diagnosis and treatment. I have an appointment with a regular Psyciatrist in a month or so, but it seems that many of them overlook many things that we know and can't express. Has anyone gone through anything simular? Any help you can give me, I would greatly appreciate. Thank You.
