I Always Felt Something Was Wrong with Me.

I always felt something was wrong with me. It used to be called Asperger’s syndrome, and now it's called autism spectrum disorder – reveals Confederation candidate Sławomir Mentzen in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski. In the Rymanowski Live program, the politician describes: - I found out about it quite late. I always felt I was different, that I had certain behaviors that others didn't have. The MP adds that it was only diagnosed after the age of 30. - I was always a little different. Perhaps that's why it's perceived as a mask. All my memories were that things my colleagues did easily were insurmountable problems for me. Since childhood, I've had problems building relationships; in a new group, I had trouble approaching someone and speaking – Sławomir Mentzen describes. When prompted by the host about the moment he first thought it might be autism spectrum disorder, the politician recounts that he was at the party headquarters, talking with Przemysław Wipler, and it was “from that conversation that it became evident that it was this condition.”
