Hello all! I'm 65 years old and just found out. I'm self diagnosed. I read "look me in the eye" and it it was was so much me. It bums me out I didn't know sooner. I'm both glad and bewildered and sad.
I've read a lot of forum posts and see myself in each one.
I had trouble in school-"you won't amount to anything! your stupid!" etc.
I still have trouble making eye contact.
I'm not comfortable in social situations.
Love reading non-fiction and studying what I get fixated on to the max. Now it will be Aspergers!
Run my mouth on things that interest me.
Collect things. I have a lot of collections! My finest is 35 years of the Sunday color funny pages.
Did talk to my wife about it finally and she agrees with what i've found.
I hope to get a diagnosis one day if I can get over my fear of justing getting a doctors appointment.
Any info or guidance for older folks like myself would be appreciated.
