jim0987 #4 - strengthening my inner cat

[GoatGal]

Hey, Jim,

If they're "suggesting" Asperger's, I'd listen. It's not something you'd attribute to someone unless they are giving off that vibe.

We are often the last to know how we're really coming off. I have a few friends who have it; they're really smart, funny, quirky people. They don't see it in themselves, but others do.

Many don't know exactly what "it" is, but now I can spot one of "us" a mile away.
Two friends have since gotten diagnosed--in their 50s! And their spouses are grateful. Now they know what they are dealing with.

Do yourself a favor and do some research. It doesn't present itself the same way in everybody. For many of us, myself included, it's more of an internal struggle.

My best friend, who I've known for over ten years now, still doesn't believe I have it.
That's because she met me after many years of "working on it."

She should have seen me in Elementary School...

Self-awareness is key.
