Hi all,
I am new to the group and pretty sure I has aspergers. Reading a lot of the dympyomd og asperger's syndrome is like reading my auto-biorgraphy. I am 47 years old, and finally feel as sense of relief at finding the "missing piece." Just to start off right, I want to explain my other difficulties. I am legally blind since birth, and I also have a hormone problem known as Klinefelter syndrome (very low males hormones and an extra "x" (female) chromosome. I am not gay, but am very much in touch wiht my feminie side. An interesting thing as well is that asperger's ties in with my being legall blind, as many people born with my problem (under-development of the optic nerve) are autistic. Asperger's really explains so much of my behavior - narrow interests (I have been obsessed with one interest for most of my life), social inability, very few friends among peers, etc. I had attributed it to shyness in the past, but a lot of people (those who I am comfortable enough to talk to) don't consider me shy. I had an upsetting situation a couple of months ago (which turned out to me over-reacting and misunderstanding something), and as I talked to someone about it and mentioned my social awkwardness, they said it sounded like asperger's. I researched it, ans as stated above, reading the sympoms and csome case studies were like reading my own life. It was like I finally found the missing piece of the puzzle! I have no plans to go to a psychiatist or anything, but I am interested in learning ways to manage this, and talk to people with asperger's as well. Frito |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
