Hello

[dscnt_11]

I'm uncomfortable posting on public forums, so this is a new experience for me.
I've been recently diagnosed at a late age with ASD using DSM-V criteria (would have received Asperger's diagnosis under DSM-IV). Previously, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and depression. These previous diagnoses didn't accurately account for various difficulties I've had throughout my life, including "feeling different". I still have periods of depression and struggle with anxiety on a daily basis, which I now realize are related to being an Aspie.
Thanks.

Hey man, welcome to AC. You'll like it here, it's fun and supportive for people that are suffering from autism. Been here for about a month now, and I can't really imagine my life without it.
