'Mild' Asperger syndrome

Hi,

First time post......hope you can help.

I believe I have Asperger syndrome, but none of the people I have discussed it with think I do.

It has taken me almost 5 years to reach this conclusion, after many years of wondering 'what is wrong with me" . Having carried out a lot of researc, it appears that 'mild' Asperger syndrome does exist.

can anyone add to this or share their experiences ? 

Many thanks,

Cal

  • Thanks @ oktanol, I see a lot of similarities between me and the people posting on here.

    My reasoning for getting a diagnosis, would be to allow me to get some kind of support - if indeed it exists. I really really struggle at maintaining friendships - they just appear to fizzle out. The More I know a person; the harder I find it for some strange reason!

    I guess I fear that I go through the process, get told that I am autistic and then nothing changes.
