I had always suspected something about me was different. After 40

On April 13, 2007, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, I found my
Holy Grail. All my life I had sought answers as to why I had trouble
getting along with the rest of the world and why I acted the way I
did. But thanks to a stranger’s suggestion, and a neuropsychologist, I
finally received a simple, straight answer. I was told, at age 41,
that I have a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome.
