y think a 15 year old can tell you their journey from childhood to adulthood, but I could be wrong.

Why limit it to people 17-25. We have many older members here who have stories to tell that are not any less significant.

Hi I'm 22 and I would love to share. Don't listen to the posters who seem opposed to what you're doing, it's up to you how you want to seek ideas to write a book, it's a good step. Where do you want me to begin? I just don't want to start waffling on and boring you. :)

I am 30 now so might be a bit outside that bracket but, if you want my story of living life undaignosed and unaware of Asperger's then let me know and I will draft something up.

Either way, very best of luck with the book. :)

I'd actually go from 12-22.

I'm 25 and I can gaurentee you, I have far more in common with a 30 year old than someone that is 18.

Otherwise, I'd try to focus on people who still live with there parents, are still in school, were diagnose'd as a child, or some other range other than age as, we tend to develope in stages versus in years as nt's do, which I guess is a product of not adhering to social norms or the inn crowd.

As said, it depends what you want to know, and whether I'd be able to tell you since it's sort of ongoing.

I'd love to see a book that compares younger people who were diagnosed very young compared with older people who were diagnosed much later, and the differences it makes with their journeys and how they can help each other.

Good luck with your book, hope it goes well :) (I am too old)
