I still cant believe i am Aspi but happy to know that. Hello to everyone. I am new on this forum. I am 34. This month i learned i am Aspi. My test showed 36 which is high, and now i realize what was going on with me all my life. All my life, since i remember myself i was treating so stupid. At my adult age i was looking at the events in my life, my doings, treatings to people and i was just saying to myself: you are sooooo stupid. I cant believe it. I could not understand why i treated like that. I wished i didnt but i did. And still i do. But now i understand that i was not stupid at all. I am just Aspi. My 5 years old son is Aspi too. He is exactly like me. We understand each other without words. My daughter looks normal. I am divorced. Now i realize that most troubles i had in my marriage were because of my Asperger Syndrome. My childhood was awful. Now my life is fine but i really feel myself uncomfortable in this world. I have to get used to it. When i have to communicate with people i just say to myself, everything is fine, dont worry, you are Aspi, thats why you feel yourself uncomfortable. And it helps...

Sorry for my English, i am not a native speaker.

You are not Asperger. He died in 1980.

You are not Aspi. You may be an aspie.

Did you take an on-line test? If so, which one?

What is your native language?

Wow! Are your opinions about E. E. Cummings and Allen Ginsberg just as friendly? :wink:

These are not opinions, they are questions and statements of fact.

I don't think Fnord was trying to be mean. Fnord just seems to like clearing things up which is great.

Fnord does what Fnord does best - getting at the truth.
