^.^ cant be accurate, Asperger's was made a clinical diagnosis in 1994.

....in North America.
From what I understand, AS has been dx'ed in Europe for quite a while....

Autism in 1961 at the Norwood Clinic, Ballarat. About the same era as Mark Rimland, the son of Bernard Rimland, the author of "infantile autism".

I haven't been officially diagnosed yet. Is there any benefit to it? Another topic got me worried about people not wanting to hire Aspies for certain jobs and having trouble with life insurance and stuff.

But AS did not appear on the DSM until 1994. How could you be diagnosed in 1989 than?
