Hi, I was diagnosed with aspergers as an adult ten years ago.
Long story short, married to a narcissist for twenty years who convinced me to be assessed, I went along with it thinking it would make life easier and she would change, only to be unceremoniously divorced.
I am very successful, I run a growing company, I manage complicated and convoluted bookings, dates and appointments, meet and deal with hundreds and thousands of people a year, executives, producers and such, I write professionally, I perform professionally on stage and more. I am functional at home,think about my family's needs, make sure my kids have what they need, make sure my friends are okay, care about others, interested in them and their feelings.
I don't think these are autistic traits.
Is there anyone here who can point me in the direction of someone who can reassess me?
Why do you think these are not traits? I'm a chartered engineer and I've run multi-£million projects, married, offspring etc. - in fact, your success and drive are good indicators that you're not like the average Joe.
