I've not long entered my 30s and have just been diagnosed with aspergers. I had one appointment that lasted about 2 hours and then i got a second one that lasted about 15 minutes and in that time the Doctor told me she's diagnosing aspergers. It hit me a little even tho my wife has been going on about it for ages and shes the one that was telling me to go for ages.
I'm not big on social events/talking to others or even care to be honest. Hate eye contact and i gather people think im odd, even if i have to talk to my kids' teachers i do it where I'm not looking at them but that's fine as again i don't really care about others. Freinds wise i have about 3 but only mainly speak to one but he lives miles away.
What gets to me is, no matter how much people try and understand whats going on in my head or they say they know but they have no idea what i have. Even if I'm getting annoyed or need time to myself no one gets it.
My wife tries hard. She takes me everywhere knowing i hate going new places. If we go somewhere new she says i always try and start arguments and she just goes with it. she knows how fussy i am with eating and how i have different food to everyone else.
Does anyone else have this where people say they understand or say they will help/change how they react to you but yet still feel like you are being judged?
