| I know I can't be alone. I wanted to know if some of you had traumatic experiences, as a result of having undiagnosed AS. I did not know I had AS until adulthood, and so I was often seen as a diffic ... |

| Maybe he is gay. Either way, I think being supportive is the right approach. There is a BIG difference between feeling different because you have AS and feeling different because you are gay. I am ... |
