Greetings,

I am new too the community also! I am 40 something and married happily 20+ years now. I am out of the US - Midwest.

I am learning disabled diagnosed (LD) since I was a child and I believe I have aspergers. When growing up, I do not believe aspergers was as well known; as well as, LD.

But coming here has explained why I am much more "thought" oriented than most peoples and helped explain why I do not "get" social queues as much as others. In addition, the forums have helped explain why I have found some stimuli annoying ie sounds etc.

I see a lot of kindred souls out there! I have been a "secret lurker" for quite a while but recently have joined the community. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about LD or any other issue. I am glad to offer support or answer questions where I can add insights.

Welcome to the WrongPlanet community! I'm new too, but I still think saying "Hi" is the right thing to do.

Based on what was written in the second paragraph of your post that I put in bold, I think that those comments are true, but I won't get into that. The important thing is for you to enjoy this site. So have fun!

hi, self-diagnosed at 55. just wasn't on the radaqerwhen we were in school. my nephew was diagnosed. i read up on AS for him and found a description of myslef.

there's a thread for middle aged femmes with AS you can find if you search for "straight talk".
