Hi all,
I self-diagnosed with Asperger's about 3 years ago. I'm 73, and there was no common knowledge of Asperger's back in 1949 when I was born, or when I was in school, and for many years after I was an adult. It was such a relief to me to find my information on Asperger's, my eyes opened and I saw myself from the time I started noticing I was different, around 12 I guess, and all the pain I had experienced and, sadly, caused others close to me. There is precious little information available on Asperger's in seniors, I spent many hours pulling out what details I could find from the Internet and books, and I still look. What drove me back to researching is the procrastination I have had for a very long time, worse lately, and I've learned there can be a link with Asperger's. I'll probably just lurk here for awhile and get a feel for the group.
Bill
