Hi, I’m Catherine, I’m recently coming to terms with having Asperger’s, (not officially diagnosed but pretty sure I’ve got it), so thought I’d sign up with the forum. My younger brother was diagnosed many moons ago but I was only put forward for dyslexia diagnosis when I was 16. I’m 33 now and have gone to the Doctors over the years for depression and anxiety, had CBT for social anxiety and always thought I just needed to behave like a normal grown-up, try harder, everyone else can function fine, I should too. I’ve always failed at job interviews and could never understand why I was so inept at communicating, but not being neurotypical would explain it.
I’m hoping to learn more about the condition so I can understand myself better and where I best fit in with the world.
