Hi, my name is Clare. I'm 35 and, in the last year or so, just started realizing that I may be an aspie. I always knew I was different, but dismissed it as social awkwardness and anxiety. My husband had a strong suspicion that it was Asperger's, so I read "Aspergirls" by Rudy Simone and now I'm convinced as well. I identified with pretty much everything she said and she was very empowering. I feel so much better about myself now and I love knowing that I'm not the only one with these issues.
I'm thinking about getting an official diagnosis, but I hate talking to doctors. I have trouble communicating in person and I get frustrated when they don't understand what I'm trying to say, so I just give up. I'm not sure it will be worth the aggravation.
