Hello

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.
