Hey there,
I'm 45 and recently found out that one of the reasons I have struggled in life is because of something called Aspergers' Syndrome. I had no idea what Aspies were when I was a kid, but I knew that I was different than other kids. I have begun to embrace my creative talents while realizing that they are more of an outlet to help me process and deal with emotions than anything else. It's been an interesting last couple of years. I have feel like I'm accepting who I am by recognizing my strengths and weaknesses. I'm also realizing that most people don't care to hear about my problems with Asperger's because "we all got issues to deal with." I hope to contribute some helpful insight and maybe even some humorous anecdotes, and I hope to learn some things about myself and others that will allow me to better navigate through life.
