I've been lurking here for the last few days. I thought i'd join in. Autism runs in my family. I have two cousins diagnosed, one with aspergers, one with autism. My autistic cousin's father, my uncle, had all the symptoms of aspergers, until he commited suicide. My grandma had the symptoms as well. Im sure i have aspergers as well. I'm in the process of trying to find a psychologist for myself, though i have no idea how to do that. I just reciently decided to read about it and was amazed at how perfectly the description fit me, and a few other family members. So now im trying to learn better coping mechinisms. Its really nice to find a place where other people think like me.
