It's official.

Just finished a tele-health session where I got the news: I'm officially "ASD Type I, Moderate" ...since Asperger's is no longer a thing in DSM5.

First heard of Asperger's about 20 years ago, and immediately thought it sounded like a fit. I didn't worry about making it official for a long time, but for various reasons I eventually fought through the red tape, tracked down a provider who would talk to adults, and got it documented.

Stat block:
I'm 55, M, divorced
I have 5 children, 19-28, sole custody for the last 15 years. I suspect at least three of them are also ASD.
I am a software developer, 30 years experience, 3 patents.
I am an amateur musician (guitar, bass, low brass, composer.)

Welcome. Those of us in our 50's and older seem to have flown under the radar quite often. Most people had never heard of autisim until Rainman. Stick around. This is a great group of people.
