Hi all,
This is completely new to me so I'm sort of taking a leap of faith to speak to other like minded individuals and people with a little more insight than i have.
I am a 33 year old woman and for several years now, the idea of Aspergers has been at the back of my head. Recently I have read some research about how Aspergers may present differently in women and girls and some of the hallmarks of girls with Aspergers just sound so, so familiar to me -it's incredible. Even my partner has agreed that all these behaviours are me to a T. Family have said to me I can't possibly be on the spectrum as I am 'normal', I drive a car, I have a job, I interact normally with others but this simply doesn't ring true -my whole life I have felt 'other' with no way to explain it and I am just worried if I broach my GP with these concerns, I'll be written off as a hypochondriac, or someone who has social anxiety.
Any pointers, or any comments would be most welcome. Completely in the dark.
:)
