I’m in my 50s, always feel like an alien, and still think I’m 19yo. Was diagnosed with "Asperger’s (known as HFA os ASD mostly these days) about 10 years ago.
You will never not feel this way, but I see it like we’re playing the world on hard mode so every success means so much more to me.
You have to constantly work on your mental health and general attitude to life. Try to prioritise what is actually important so you can let the other (NT bullshit) stuff go. And watch out for the signs you are getting too comfortable and are about to get things wrong. Bottom line for me is to never give up, you can learn how to get on in life.
I’m guessing that wasn’t what you wanted to hear.
We each have different challenges. I decided years ago to try to understand people like I understand machines. It has mostly worked for me.
