Getting older with Aspergers

Hi everyone 

I was wondering if anyone else can relate. I'm 57 & my Aspergers seems to be getting worse as I'm getting older.

  • I think what brought me to seeking a diagnosis was age depleting the energy bank (which was never great to start with) for functioning without burnout. The gaps are shorter now. I hit crisis point with it, and the relief of diagnosis explained so much about why, even when I was two decades younger, I would sleep mid-evening out of sheer exhaustion. My mum kept saying 'there's something now right, go get blood tests etc.' She was right, but on the wrong track.
