Hi all. I've recently found out, at the age of 30, that I likely have Aspergers. Joining the community here seemed to be the next logical step.
I have been unable to find much in the way of literature about diagnosis later in life. Does anyone know of any reference material for adult aspies? All I seem to be able to find online is for children or parents and relating that info to my situation isn't as easy as I had hoped.

:)


I am 44 and just diagnosed, and feeling a bit 8O .....I did find a book called, "Pretending to be Normal"....I haven;t read it yet, but the Autism NZ website hires it out if a person cannot afford to buy it...perhaps somewehre in your area does the same?

I hope you have a great day.
