Aspergers and Alcohol

Hawthorn

I have introduced myself recently and given an overview of where I am up to with things, however I also have a different subject that I would like to share...

I am an adult male aged 40, with Aspergers.

I have never been a heavy drinker (mainly due to suffering horrific hangovers) however i have until recently been a very regular light drinker - normal week would be two cans of average lager (4%) most nights.

I have stopped drinking altogether, which has been fine and to be honest apart from the odd exception i do not really miss it at all.

I am however sleeping better, and generally feeling in a better state of mind about my whole life. I have no intention of returning to alcohol, and I would love to hear of any other experiences out there.

    Sarah Hendrickx is the AS expert who did my non-clinical assessment and confirmed I had AS before I got my "official" clinical diagnosis.
