I'm 27 and haven't had a formal diagnosis of Asperger's, but believe I have it. A few years ago, during my postgraduate studies, I had been having email counselling and it was suggested by the counsellor that I may have Asperger's because of the way I expressed things and how I saw the world (I don't remember now what exactly I'd said). To be honest, while I knew of autism before then, I didn't know exactly what it was and when this was mentioned to me and I did some reading, I could identify many of the traits there. I always felt I was different to others around me and didn't know why. Recently, something in my life has changed and I decided to join this community as I could probably do with some help managing with AS (and eventually help others, too). I like the name of this place because it perfectly describes how I've felt most of my life  .
I hope that's not too lengthy an intro.. |

Hey
Welcome to WP
I believe there is an area which can help manage your AS. If not then you should start the topic.

Hello and welcome to WP!
There are lots of interesting forums to explore, and I'm sure you will soon feel at home here
The General Autism Discussion forum is a great place to start if you are looking for answers, advice etc about Asperger's, and there are other forums where you can get to know people, share experiences etc too. |

| Thanks for the welcome, all! I'll probably start another thread soon. It's certainly nice to know that there are others like me. |

| Welcome. Hope you stick around. Lots of nice folks here, and I think all of them leave their judge's robes at the door. |
