51 and finding out that I have aspergers

I have wonder all my live why I had difficulties with everything I try to do. I struggled through school could not pass a test unless it was given to me verbally Which most teachers did not want to do. They rather put me back in the corner with a coloring book then deal with me. I did graduate after many struggles. I have my own family now both of my children are fine one is a school teacher the other one is getting his masters to work in the FBI. Well a year ago after working with children with autism I started putting some pieces together. I went to the doctors and talked to him. He sent me to a specialist and they talked to me and did plenty of test and they finally came up with Asperger's. I does not make any difference at this point in life but it does help to make sense of my of my life.
I am glad that they now know so much more about it and can help children with it now instead of them feeling like there is something wrong with them and they are not like other children.
