Hello, I'm Musicboxforever. I am female and live in the UK. One of my family members has been diagnosed with Autism and I have been doing research into it. I have had this incling in the back of my mind that I may have Aspergers Syndrome for years, but now that I have learned a bit more about this and I've been reading people's comments I am more convinced.

I am not sure how to approach my doctor on this subject though. He knows that I suffer from depression, but I'm not sure how radical an idea of having AS would be to him. I have told a couple of friends, but they don't understand.

I feel that people here understand what I am going through and I finally feel like I fit in somewhere.
