| I pursued my diagnosis independantly. I found out about AS in 2001 which coincided in my parents telling me that I was observed in the classroom by a psychologist at the age of 4 because of what the teachers termed 'asocial behaviour'. Suffice to say nothing was diagnosed (this being before AS was o... |

| I have to agree with most of the posts in that I feel that my AS is both a blessing and a curse. The most beneficial aspect of my AS is the focus I can give my special interests. This has enabled me to get a degree in a subject that I love. I also enjoy the somewhat unique perspective on humanity th... |

I was diagnosed when I was 21 although I was observed by a psychologist in a classroom setting at age 5 because of my (and I quote) 'asocial behaviour'. I certainly do wish that I was formally diagnosed at an early age as my school years were a nightmare and I had no support whatsoever.  |

I used to believe that an item which was described as having falling of the back of a truck was a literal statement (and not a euphemism for stolen goods). I was unaware of the true meaning of this statement until I was 20  |
