Hi all, i'm looking for a bit of advice, i guess. I recently bought a book on Aspergers to learn about a condition we think my son has. Someone who knows me well said, 'that's you' just before i started it. That comment barely registered. Then i started the book and got the shock of my life. It was like reading my life story! Everything slowly dropped into place; always been a bit different, crap at sport as a kid, last one to be picked for games, on the outskirts of the group or ostracised, etc. Each section of the book revealed more connections. I have no doubt i have Aspergers Syndrome despite having done the Cambridge test and getting 24. I believe i have trained myself into different ways of thinking. I have over ridden a lot of the traits with my mnd in an attaempt to fit in; to be Neuro typical. Does this ring true for anybody else? I was thinking get a diagnosis but am now thinking it will be too much hassle. What kind of help could it be to do that? I live a fully functional working life already. I have some daily anxiety around a particular issue but how many people don't? Any thoughts welcome, please. Thank you.
