Hi, I'm a new user of this forum. I was diagnosed with Aspergers two months ago at the age of 26. I have found it difficult to come to terms with and was hoping other people could maybe offer some advice based on their own experiences.
I'm happy to be here though; I didn't know there were communities like this.
Thank you.
I am a bit hacked off with how long it's taken for me to be diagnosed. I do wonder why no-one ever noticed or asked me the right questions. I can wonder how things would have turned out differently if I'd had proper support.
Another part of me thinks that I had to go through what I did to be the person I am...and despite being flawed I'm quite nice. I'm an atheist but I do have an interest in philosophy and Nietzche said he would wish hard times upon his friends as they help you become a better person.
I also feel like I'm becoming more autistic as I get older. Maybe it's mercury fillings ;-) or maybe it's just that I can't be a**ed pretending anymore. Is it like that for anyone else?
I haven't told very many people...partly because they wouldn't understand and partly because I'm not sure if I'd be using the label as a badge. I bring it up when I feel it could help.
Post diagnosis I'm still a very confused person 
Best wishes to everyone, hope you're enjoying the extra vitamin D that's available today!
