High-Funct Aspie.

Louby

I'm 33 and despite always getting A* on any Aspie/Autism tests, the nature of my profession and it's pressure has taught me to manage my behaviour and quirks quite successfully. I'm grateful for my late diagnosis as I've adapted to fit in and lead a successful professional and personal life. The reason for my post is to see whether there are any others like me? I don't share my aspie status with friends/colleagues much as I feel they associate it with learning difficultys and disability due to the media representation. I'm keen to break the stereotype  so I hope I'm not  I my own. I'm keen to hear from others  like me.

  • It is a disability to me.

    The problem with Aspergers is that its presentation and outcome is so varied depending on a multitude of different factors. For some, it is a serious disability, for others it is just a 'difference'. A one-size-fits all approach will never capture the variety of experiences, but all I can say is that I wish I did not have it!
