Well I actually registrered a while ago but haven't really been around before. I managed to muck up my password and such.
I'm Swedish and even if my English is quite good I think. I sometimes get confused and manage to say something completly different from what I intended to say.

I'm 39 years old and got the diagnose Autistic syndrome today. I was earlier diagnosed with ADHD+DCD and a handfull of diagnoses of the kind "I have no idea what's wrong with you but I want to guess"

This time I wasn't overmedicated and was able to describe my life from early childhod until now.

I'm a bit confused, I was thinking Asperger syndrome and aren't sure how this differs, I will try to find out later. Too tired right now.

Well "Hi" Everybody! :)

Welcome to WrongPlanet

Your English is fine. Though are you saying you've been diagnosed with Autism or Asperger's?
Hope you enjoy your time here :)

Thanks for the welcome both of you. What I meant to say was that I got diagnosed with Autism but when I first started the process I thought it would be Asperger's.
