So it's been precisely 4 days since I found out that I am very likely on the spectrum. And the more I find out, the more I am sure this is what's wrong with me. I feel wierdly comforted. Like when I blurt out all the inappropriate things that make people uncomfortable - instead of retreating into my self-denigration bubble, I felt... lighter. Like duh, of course you pissed them off, you excell at that - do better next time.

So I'm googling, I'm reading, youtubing... you name it. And I feel so... home. Every article, every video, there is something that just resonates; finally putting to words the things I have been thinking all these years, but not being able to properly articulate. I think I'm driving my husband batty though. Every time we talk is ASD this... aspergers that... I feel bad that I'm irritating him with my newest fixation, but I need someone to to share in this assuagement with me.
