Overwhelmed

[Purple_Vixen]

Hi!
I am a 31 year old female and pretty sure I have Aspergers. I have not told anyone this except my husband, who im pretty sure is somewhere on the spectrum too. I am trying to muster up the courage to get a diagnosis but the thought of the process is so overwhelming. I am not sure how or if it would help me in daily life, if only to confirm my daily struggles and give me the ability to explain to others why I am the way I am.
I have suspected I have Aspergers for almost 2 years now, but I am managing to hold a job, maintain a marriage and raise 2 beautiful children, although I have many struggles everyday, it has not been a priority to get a diagnosis.
The more I read about it though the more things click for me and it would be nice to be able to 'come out' as it were, and be comfortable with me.
Anyway now I'm rambling!
