Having struggled all my life, with life and being diagnosed with various illnesses, I have now have an unofficial diagnosis of aspergers from an occupational therapist who can't understand why this has never been picked up before. I am waiting for an "urgent" appointment with a specialist who is apparently also an expert in women with this condition.

I have had three days to get my head round the fact that I am not mentally ill, I have a syndrome, which seems much more manageable to me. It certainly explains away my eccentric behaviour and views. It is a relief to realise why become exhausted if I spend to much time with people.

I have many questions which I am sure to have answered here in time. Reading through some of the old posts over the past few days has been really informative, reassuring and very interesting. Perhaps here I will feel I belong so hello to you all, please be gentle with me, I am totally blunt but very sensitive

it certainly feels much more logical and easier to deal with than all the other nonsense I have been accused of having :lol: I am thinking that it is a total relief and I am strangely excited at the prospect of being able to learn how to cope with it and understanding why I really don't fit into the real world,

thanks for saying hi
