Hello and Good Day!
My name is Micho and I have utilized this forum for research in the past, however only recently signed up as member. I am 40 now and have a pretty busy lifestyle. I found out about Aspergers later in my life, though an earlier Psychologist suggested this in mid 90's I just didn't believe I could be since I didn't think I was any different than "average" people. It became more and more apparent as I moved through life and unfortunately my refusal to accept this mixed with my valiant attempts to "blend" caused many struggles in my life and relationships. I have been stopped by police numerous times for "looking guilty" or accused of making threats I had not etc etc. Living where we do I found works nicely with my desire for isolation here in Detroit.
I am a solo parent of 3 kids after a truly miserable divorce. I have however met a wonderful woman that shares many "quirks" however we seem to compliment each other well. I found my attention to detail and focused interest level gave me certain job opportunities that I benefit from and have been employed for over 10 years at same business. I also found my niche within the "maker" or "hacker" community.
This just is a summary of basic info. But my issues are not as complex in certain areas as others so I would say I am high functioning. However, I definitely have to work extra hard on basic every day occurances.
Nice to meet everyone!
