I am 28 and am a self diagnosed Aspie. I also have a 6 year old son who is in the process of being diagnosed with high functioning Autism. I do not know really what I am supposed to write so forgive me if I am just rambling. I have always felt like a freak and outsider. I have always struggled making and keeping friends. The few friends I made usually turned out to just be using me. After my son's neurologist suggested that he has Autism, I began to research Autism and Aspergers. I quickly realized a lot of this stuff explained why I have always been different than everyone else. I always felt like I was broken inside somehow and it caused me to struggle with depression quite a bit. At least now, I know there is a whole community of people that can relate. It has also helped me to understand my son more.
 
Welcome aboard :)
This is a great community, hope you enjoy interacting. Best wishes

Welcome, Elle! I hope you like it here, and can experience a little bit of the belonging that has been elusive all this time. I know I have. :)
 
Hi and welcome to the forum :) There are a lot of people here with similar experiences to you here, and I'm sure you'll be able to relate, and learn more about Asperger's :)
