[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 330361, member: 1963"] Marg is right, and I'm speaking as a person on the AS spectrum who was only diagnosed in my early forties, and that with a family history of AS ranging from children who were institutionalized to people who were "odd or eccentric". As high-functioning AS people mature, many of them learn to "fake it", and the older they get, the better they get at it. tdocs and some psychiatrists can pick it up with me, but the typical person I meet on the street tends to write my oddities off as my just being a bit of a hyper-intelligent "nerd" with some strange points of view. I was lucky to get into IT before I was twenty and did well there until the bi-polar kicked in several years back. By the time I got outsourced for the last time, there were simply no jobs for older IT people with twenty years of experience. husband had a brother on the AS spectrum as well, and in all honesty, he covered my buns for me for most of my working life.
