Hello.I am a middle-aged man and I now realise and accept that I have Aspergers. I am self diagnosed (I hope that counts). I will not be getting a medical diagnosis as I don’t see the point at my age. I have spent my entire life struggling to fit in with little success. I have never mentioned my newly realised Autism to anyone, and possibly never will. I am terrified of the reaction. I mask as much as possible, but struggle to keep it up sometimes. Most people just think I’m weird. I at least have a job and am financially self sufficient, so I have survived.
I joined this community in the hope that I could offer some useful advice or comments. I will do my best.
Welcome to the community.
Thank you for replying. Hard to explain why, but the fact you have replied to my post makes me feel better. Thank you very much.
