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.

  • I'm 42 and have aspergers . I have had a relatively successful career , and was even a school teacher at one point . I now work in the private sector in a job I love . Most people don't realise I'm an aspie at first , maybe I also do a bit of masking as mentioned in previous posts , but I'm now being more upfront with people about my aspergers and find  that people are understanding on the whole.
