Hello everyone,
I have read a few books now and realised that I have many characteristics that appear to be high-functioning Asperger's (or is it Autism? I'm not sure of the terminology).
I am an Aussie living in France, so finding a professional who a) speaks English* and b) might be able to offer a diagnosis one way or the other** is almost out of the question.
*I can 'get by' in French, but discussing my psychological issues in French would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, at this point
**The French are way behind most of the rest of the world with their understanding, support, and general acceptance of ASD unless it is very noticeable and/or severe
So I thought it's time to reach out online and see if there are a few people who might be able to offer me some deeper understanding of what the hell is going on with me. I'm about to turn 48.
Cheers,
GC
