Welcome here. Does anyone here... or is there a place here... for reference books on Aspergers? Oh, never mind. Just Google yourself the subject. My study has lead me to understand my world ... and accept it and make better choices for my future. It's important to do that.

A couple of references might be the free pdf booklet Aspergers an Intentional Life here:

http://www.christianpioneer.com/blogarc ... e_2017.pdf

And the Tony Attwood videos on Youtube

Welcome to WP and welcome to Autism Spectrum.

Is your interest in Autism academic...just wanting to find out more about yourself...or are there specific concerns?

I got an Adult Autism Assessment when I was 64 because I was curious. I was the same person before and after the diagnosis...except after it I know more about myself.

Welcome to Wrongplanet - I hope it is right for you.

To read about Autism I would start with google scholar. Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Brittanica online could be helpful too. Once you have read those feel free to ask any questions you have here.

(Actually you can ask questions even before you read - if you want to)
