Hello,

I'm a married (with children) adult male who has know that I've been different my whole life. I think that a lot of people can say that at some point or another of their development, but I remain different in a lot of different ways. I have traits and mannerisms that until recently, I excused as just being a bit well… different from others. My curiosity was piqued one night and I did a search for several of the traits that I see as making me different from others. After searching for a while, a common thread started to emerge that pointed the fact that I may have high-functioning autism. I'd say Aspergers, but I read that that is no longer a separate diagnosis after DSM V. In looking at that, it actually explains a lot. I've taken the Aspie Quiz and got the following:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 169 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 39 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)

I have more information, but don't wish to be overwhelming.

Thanks for reading!
 
Welcome to AC. There's a number of us here who have discovered Aspergers at a later stage of life. For me Tony Attwood's 'Complete Guide' was instrumental in that, and I'd highly recommend it.
Again, welcome and feel free to make yourself at home.
 
Good to have you with. Hope you are comfortable here and find it worth while.
 
Welcome :)

I hope you feel right at home here.
