Hi all. I"m self diagnosed & not really sure how to go about making it official. I'm 43 yrs old & have just realized this year this may have been what"s wrong with me. Growing up I did well in academics but my social skills were not very good. I may have had one close friend & its always been that way. I just want to connect with other people who don't quite fit in but outwardly by appearances don't look like they are different.
Why I think I have autism is really my social skills, not being able to empathize normally, its a lot of different things but on top of this epiphany I have Multiple Sclerosis & I self diagnosed myself there too until it was confirmed in 07' by a neurologist & MRI's. Im married with 3 adult children but looking back I should have never had kids because I don't think I did a grown ups job in raising them. But, yeah, hi all. That"s a little bit of my story.
