'Mild' Asperger syndrome

Caleb1981

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 @ recombinantsocks.

    Getting a diagnosis is to get support (See above post) and to prove myself right (Hate being wrong - lol).

    I would ideally like to see life beyond diagnosis, before I get one!

    The medical record comment came from my wife, she's just worried it impacts my future career choices - I have a fairly responsible job in the oil & gas industry and I would have to disclose it during my routine medicals. As far as I know, possibly being autistic has no impact on my work or working relationships - I could be wrong though. Not sure how my employer would see it.
