Hello, it feels right to be here.
When people ask why I look decades younger I always respond that I owe it to immaturity. As of this week I can say I owe it to being an aspie, which is related since it sometimes bears painful traits of immaturity.
I introduced myself today at length on my first post under a blog I named "Flaming Aspies." Please take a look and let me know how my radical views land with you. Best, Lee

Hi Lee, greetings from Aspies Central.
 
Welcome Rockstein. I read your blog and I would love to say I relate to people like Jerry Seinfeld but sadly I'm appalling at telling jokes. However I do relate to coming out in maturity (well biological maturity anyway). I'm 67 :)
 
I am finding that I am seen as stupid, because of being recognised as an aspie. Not by everyone one; but sadly by those who it really does count, because of their position.

But on the other side, by not being recognised, I would still be regarded as someone to not take note of, because of those aspie traits.
