Hi.

I have never been diagnosed, from being a kid always had problems making friends.

I am now very retired, I found I was good at fixing things managed to get a job as a service engineer, I was good at that, I kept getting promoted.

Several years ago, maybe 15-20 yrs. I read an article in an online newspaper about Aspergers, now just in with Autism.

I thought, That explained my life. My Wife just said I was being silly, so cannot discus it. I said to my GP. Reply, "well at least you know"

Not what I was looking for, I would have liked to know for certain. still would, but not £3k worth. Gp I am with now, go to them for anything,

first question "do you drink" as soon as you say that you do, Reply " that will be the cause then" So no chance with GP.

Will continue in my own way, stacking things in correct order same way round place for every thing, even though I do not manage it.

Too cold for me these days, need my garage tidied up. With joint pain, does not help.

    Welcome Sheepdog   I suspect you might approve of the food tin regimen in my kitchen store cupboard.  Grouped by type of foodstuff, all tin label "fronts" facing toward the open cupboard door, in date of consumption order.  Makes perfect sense to me (unless others in my household have "helpfully" moved everything around into harlequin patchwork quilt effect of unidentified jostled items!).
