'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

    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.

    Working relationships are often impacted by autism. But, you may be lucky and it has not been an issue for you. It is possible that you can manage relationships in the relatively controlled and managed environment where you work but that your wife has a personality type that you struggle with. That doesn't make it her fault or your fault, it may be that you just haven't really worked out how to understand each other.
