Have lurked for a while so I thought it was time I said hello!

I am a 47 year old female and have long suspected that I was 'different' but was never sure why.

I have a 20 year old son who was diagnosed with dyspraxia/add when he was 7 but I always thought there was something else not right. I started to read about Aspergers as I had a feeling he may have it and as I read more and more about I realised that much of it described me too!

I recently had a couple of sessions with a private psychologist who has a lot of experience with Aspergers and she 'unofficially' diagnosed me with mild Aspergers.

I have a lot of questions so I will probably be posting a lot :D

Hey Peapod!
I'm in a similar position as you, I've always known I was different but couldnt place why. I've got my appointment with a private psychologist next week, so we shall see!

I'm also in the UK :)
