What age are most people diagnosed with aspergers?

Hi, this is my new profile, as I lost the password for mozartfan99.
Thanks for all the wonderful responses.

I was diagnosed with high-functioning autism in 3rd grade so either 8 or 9. I don't remember when exactly though.

Actually I failed some sort of kindergarden test and I was diagnosed with receptive language disorder. That basically meant that I had trouble understanding what was being said to me. When I was younger, I definitely did have language delays but I grew out of them for the most part.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. I was very hyper-active as a kid. I would pretty much bounce off walls and say whatever came to my mind.

22 but not specifically aspergers. Mild autism spectrum disorder or hfa

In 6th grade and it was Asperger's.

I was 24 (2013) when formally diagnosed. It was, however considered from the age of 20 (2008) onwards

I was 61 when my step mother figured it out from watching some shows about it and put it together...

I was 17 when I was diagnosed with Asperger's.

I was 59 when I first was given a preliminary diagnoses of ASD -Level 1 - the equivalent of Asperger's - and 60 when formally and officially diagnosed in writing. No, I don't think 14 is late. But I guess that is all a matter of perspective.

Diagnosed Asperger at 13, HFA at 16, Autism Spectrum Disorder at 32 (last year). All pretty much the same in my book.

Diagnosed at 25 (last year), suspected since 17.
I could have been diagnosed much sooner - at age 3, 7, 10 or 13 (the ages when I entered/changed schools) - when my problems were so severe and I stood out so much that I was being sent to psychologists (which diagnosed me as: "high intelligence, normal motor skills, poor social skills"). At age 13 I was actually seeing a school psychologist on a daily basis because of my problems related with peers.
Unfortunately AS was not known back then, at least not where I live so I went undiagnosed.

I was 4 when I was diagnosed with regular Autism, but re-diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 13.

My parents had a sneaking suspicion something was "wrong", so at the age of 7 they sent me to a doctor to be assessed for autism - the doctor dismissed my mum's concerns and didn't assess me. 7 years later, I am then having to visit a psychiatrist because of panic attacks (which were actually meltdowns) and then I was assessed for autism.. For some reason the diagnosis process was long and took almost 2 years, I was told that they suspect I have had autism all of this time. I was officially diagnosed when I was 16. It took 7 years.. smh.

Diagnosed at 33, but really I should have been diagnosed as a toddler. I'd ended up in some research into human development and those doing it had mentioned many of the signs. A shame nothing was actually followed up then.
