Hello.

My name is Mark. I’m 46 years old. 

It is very likely that I am about to discover, why I have been behaving like I have, for as long as I can remember. I could have been an Avionics Engineer. I’m mad for airliners (planes) also, airline liveries and washing machines. And capital cities  

I feel pretty sad that my secrets are coming out, and sad that I have scored very poorly on the Cambridge Questionnaire. I don’t think that I’m an unkind person. 

I have learned many skills that I have needed to adapt into normal life  

I’m so glad that I have signed up to this forum. 

Reading your posts and experiences, is making me feel that I’m less of the odd one out. 

Thanks 

Mark.

  • Is anyone on this forum from a nursing/caring background like me also ? 

    The main thing that continues to upset me recently, is the empathy assessment and scoring poorly on it. My Psychiatrist has mentioned that I am empathetic.  

    I do sometimes ‘feel’ huge amounts of sadness off of other people. Does that make sense ?
