Undiagnosed

U ndiagnosed Do I have Asperger Syndrome? I’ve always been a quiet and shy person, some of my earliest memories are of my mother telling people “Don’t mind him he’s shy”. For the longest time I have just assumed that this was a quirk of my personality. Some people are born with brown hair some with blond; some are shy and some are bold but recently I have started to think that perhaps this is not a quirk of my personality but rather a symptom of Asperger Syndrome. Of course people with AS are weird and you can tell just by looking at them that they are “on the spectrum”, there is absolutely no way I could have this, right? Some simple research tells me that I could be wrong. Late diagnoses of AS are fairly common with some people well into the their 60’s being diagnosed suggesting that it is wrong to assume that you can tell just by looking at someone that they have AS, and that this can very much be a silent or at least very quiet condition. I’m 34 years old
