I'm a 58 year old man and have always been a bit odd. I always thought it was normal. I might be getting worse and seem to be getting more isolated. Virtually the only person who ever calls me is my Mum. And sometimes my daughter who I am very close to. I live and work abroad, am long since divorced and what friends I do have in the UK are gradually slipping away due to absence. I don't mind too much. I always found making friends pretty difficult and now go on pretty fancy hols etc on my own. Mostly I like it and prefer it to being with other people all the time, but it can get lonely as well. I don't get on very well with some of the the people I work with either but don't care too much except that I don't want to create an atmosphere. I've never been diagnosed but took a couple of Aspergers tests online and came up borderline in both. Mostly I get by OK and won't be bothering the doctor any time soon, but the situation is hard to manage sometimes. Do I have an ASD or not? Who knows, but it seems a bit likely and it would explain a lot. My friends son has a pretty bad ASD/probable Aspergers and he is way more difficult than me, so mustn't grumble. Anyway. That's me. So Hi and goodbye for now.
