I joined last year sometime and now, quick as a flash, here I am introducing myself to you all. I hadn't been posting until today and, in all honesty, I'm here because I'm feeling despondent. A weekly group I attended this morning didn't go well. Getting along with people is hard and so I came home and logged in here to see if I could connect with you a little better/easier.
I was diagnosed with Aspergers over a year ago but I'm in my forties already. I've worn myself out over the years trying to fit in, be normal...you know, play the game. I actually did it really well for the longest time. I'm not sure that's such an achievement now :/
In the end I had some bad experiences and then my life just crumbled because I just didn't have the energy to keep up appearances.
Right now I am attempted to rebuild. Hard going sometimes.
Still, plenty to be grateful for. I am quite driven creatively and I get a lot of joy from that. I have raised children, somewhat successfully, and I have a lot of interests that I spend time on, of course. I'm never bored
