Hello, and welcome
I too am from the great north, am a father and a grandfather, and am apparently from some other world. It is comforting somehow to know that I am not the only one of my kind living in the state.

"Not of This World" is the title of (and quote from) one of my favorite songs by Petra.

I was diagnosed about eight years ago. My severely autistic 21yo daughter (mental age= 18mos.) was diagnosed around 17 years ago. My 27yo HFA son (m.a.= 6-10yo) was diagnosed around 13 years ago. (We have another three that appear to be garden-variety Aspies...)

Add to that 45 years of mostly feeling alienated for partially mis-attributed reasons and I have pretty much made peace with my place in society (especially after getting my diagnosis). It allowed me to have more reasonable expectations for myself and others.

We have been involved in the ASD community for some time, but I'm glad that I found this place.
