Eschewer of Obfuscation
Hi All,
Just a brief intro as I'm new here.
We had been noticing issues my eldest son had, and my mother made a passing remark about Aspergers. At the time we didn't have the opportunity to look into it, but when life settled a bit for us, I got a copy of Tony Attwoods complete guide. Reading it not only confirmed my son was an aspie, but explained much of my life as well as my wife's. Been doing lots of reading since. None of us are 'offically diagnosed', but our whole family would appear to be at various places on the spectrum.
Still trying to make sense of our new identities, and what that means for work, life and relationships. Hate being Aspie. But really don't want to be a NT either! :-)
 
Welcome.
It can be unsettling finding these things out, but you've come this far and remember: you're still the same person. It's just that now you've found a label to put on certain traits, which can help in finding the right help or guidance. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!
 
I think many of us hate being aspie yet also don't want to be NT. :)

Welcome! I love your avatar. :)
