After realizing I need help with social anxiety in July, I've started taking anti-depressants, and had my doctor refer me for an assessment for Asperger's Syndrome.
I had the first meeting today, and I think I'll get the diagnose. Since I was there, I also did a test for depression, and the psychologist said that I would score high in a few sections due to Asperger's, so she must see that I have it.

Hi!
Im mel. I found your blog on a google search for Autism support groups. I think I have Aspergers myself. Also married too.
Its great to find someone who I seem to have a lot in common with.
Is there someway I can email you?
Are u in the UK? I`m British and living in Japan at the moment.

My son who is 9 was just diagnosed with Aspergers. I'm so hurt and disturbed! I have so many questions and every online blog or whatever information I read seem to be different. Some might suggest that he will live a normal life and others scare me to death with quotes like " Many AS people spend their lives alone" or they develop Depression, Multiple personality disorder, etc. All the while my boy seems so normal to me. He does have some characteristics - I just don't know what to believe.
While I wouldn't like to come across as someone with the answers, I would even less come across as some friggin' relativist.
Mike, the neurodiversity community - which you could observe from the portal at autism-hub.co.uk, try to base their wisdom on sound logic and method rather than the terrifying emotions that so often catch those who've just heard of a diagnosis.
I would recommend that camp, but ofcourse that's just my personal opinion.
