Yesterday I went to my first Aspie meeting. I was really looking forward to meeting people like me and hoped I could perhaps make a friend. I am 34 was diagnosed last year and am well and truly socially disabled, but the people I met were not what I was expecting. I felt more out of place than a steak at a vegan dinner party. Hey were all very nice and I really liked them but I felt so advanced compared to them that I should have been running the group not taking part. I'm married 15 years and counting, have 2 teenagers who are my best friends and am the manager at my work. I own my house and have a good small group of friends. All my life I have struggled but I just pushed myself and never gave up trying. It has been hard but I did it. So are there different levels of Aspergers and if so I must be at the top. I'm not trying to be rude or nasty I just want to understand why I couldn't even fit in with a group of Aspies. I'm very confused right now.
