Recently diagnosed at 40

Hi, I'm Mike I was diagnosed a few months ago and still have quite got to a point where I understand what it means foe me. I had been pondering and researching ASD for some years after seeing parallels between my son and I (he was diagnosed when he was 5), I made the mistake of sharing my thoughts at work and ended up with being told I needed to seek a diagnosis so they could determine if someone with Aspergers could do my job, I had been doing for nearly 5 years at that point. 8 months later I was diagnosed and work calmed down and now things feel the same but different. That's me its nice to be part of the community. 

thanks

  • Thank you for your reply and your thoughts, I am lucky to have a number of people around me that care but it can be difficult to talk about why I find somethings difficult. They don't understand why Im grumpy when they plan nice spur of the moment things any more than I understand why they or anyone for that matter is not fascinated by how neural connections are formed in the brain. I guess I hoping to find people to talk to who understand and except.
