welcome and hello! i am 27 and i am also undiagnosed for the simple fact that i coant find a doctor, either. what kind of interest/ hobbies do you have? how did you come to know of AS?

When I was a child I liked to read science fiction books. As I grow up my interests shift to 'the truth' :) -- popular medical articles and books. I don’t have real hobbies because I want to make my job and my hobby the same so I adapt both.


seems like alot of aspies are drawn to science fiction. i, myself, prefer more fact-based literature. do you read alot about autism or just medical issues in general?

Either. Including psychiatry.
Also I started to read long novels with a lot of characters and intricate plots because now I can understand it better then in adolescence.

i remember reading an old medical book my family had when i was a child. the book must have been written in the 50 or 60s but i was fascinated by it. i guess at that time autism was blamed on "refrigerator mothers" so it didnt have much useful information in that regard. :roll:

Wow you have a book. Where you are even an average family is aware of autism and has a literature on it?

Hello Cognizant, I am 280, so seems close to your age.

I am absolutelly right I am aspie since the first time I've been at an aspie site, thus I need not a diagnosis and don't really understand its necessity too.

Welcome
