I am a parent of two now grown children with Aspergers, a high functioning form of autism. Suspect my father, a literal rocket scientist was too (he worked at NASA). I have more than 5 cousins with severe forms of autism and several more less affected, but still functioning with the challenges of autism.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with the suggestion that you consider ASD as a possible (in fact, your posts indicate PROBABLE) insight into the challenges you have experienced throughout your life.

You are NOT too old for "that". I'm 48 now & was not diagnosed until age 45. At your age of 31, you are in the PRIME range of those individuals whom did not ever get tested for, no less diagnosed with the disorder. Andwhole I personally no longer feel it is a disorder, I use the term to reflect a somewhat socially socially accepted term.

Do urself a HUGE favor and don't dismiss the suggestion. Educate yourself on ASD's. I think if you invest of yourself to take this time, you will be quite surprised? Really. Have nothing to lose by looking into it.

Then, if you have further questions or concerns, make sure you bring them to a qualified healthcare provider who can help you make any determinations or most importantly, avenues to take in supporting you overcome your challenges as you present they are in this forum.

God bless you in your journey. Many are out here rooting for you ....
