    New to the ASD Forum

    Welcome Lady Lucifer, I'm new here too. My story is very different to yours as I'm 48 and only recently diagnosed. And unlike you, I was over the moon to"find my club" at last! However, I deeply regret the suffering that not knowing they were Aspie has caused my children. Something akin to PTSD...

    What is this called?

    Also, I cannot complain or argue as I can't get my words out. But I can write a wonderful polite and assertive letter. So when email really took off I was very happy - no more face to face complaints or phone calls to people :)

    What is this called?

    I can relate to this. As I get older I honestly just feel like I haven't got the energy or ability to talk sometimes. I just want to do hand gestures, nod or shake my head, or just switch off / shut down completely. It's really odd. It just seems like too much effort.

    Has anyone else decided they don't want children?

    It really is the most sensible decision for some of us isn't it? I wonder if other female Aspies like me find themselves under more pressure than men or not? An interesting question. I know that from our experiences, hearing a woman say that she never wants children seems to be judged as...

    Has anyone else decided they don't want children?

    Hi Mattymatt, I have to agree with everything you say. Don't feel bad. I don't know why we are treated like we've got two heads if we dare say that we don't want children. I have two grown up children and with my undiagnosed Asperger's, Ehlers-Danlos and a bunch of other problems it was truly...

    Aspies with EDS in Belgium

    Hello! I have recently been diagnosed with Asperger's at the grand old age of 46 (2 years ago). I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) as well as a few other things to add to the mix. I discovered a strong link between these conditions when researching muscle problems in EDS, which led to...
