Okay, well, I'm an older gentleman, at least according to my birth certificate. I tend to seem younger, enjoy the company of younger people, and I take good care of myself.

I'm originally from Carmarthenshire, Wales but moved to the States many years ago for work and it grew on me. Love my adopted country but am terribly worried for it now.

Diagnosed with Asperger's in 2013, just weeks before the DSM 5 dropped and Asperger's was no more. Good thing, as I doubt I'd have "passed" under the combined criteria, and having a name for all my strangenesses has been very helpful to me. I've always kept it to myself. Never even told my family. Relating to others as an Aspie will be an adventure. Happy to be here with all of you.

Me too! Well, old(er) and while not from Wales, still a Brit living and working in the US, and somewhat concerned for my adopted home.

Also an aspie, though being British, where Asperger's is still recognised, I think we're OK with the category, even if our American cousins aren't so sure any more.

Welcome!

Welcome! I am also older, however I do not know if I should use the term "gentleman". I think that you will like it here and I am looking forward to reading your posts.

Ogam igam in your igam ogam.

We all have had an igam ogam type life then realized and moved on to ogam igam.

Welcome.

I love the idea of being diagnosed with something that it is then decided it no longer exists.
Wonder if theres a welsh word for that.

Hi IgamOgam welcome. I spent part of my childhood in Cardiff in the 60s and recall it as an interesting place. I hope you enjoy it here, people are kind and supportive.
