I'm here in the hopes of receiving any guidance I can get from other people living with Aspergers, and hopefully make some friends in the process.
I won't go into detail here, but I'm an 18 year old female and would appreciate input from other Asperwomen. I was just diagnosed this month, and its hard to know what to do now.
Thank you

Welcome to the forum. I just recently started being actively involved with the discussions here, but I have only good things to say about my stay here.

Hi Gray,

I was diagnosed earlier this year. It takes a while to get used to.
If you read around the forums you will find lots of information, or if you have a specific question just ask. There is also a women's forum which may be of help to you.

Welcome to WP. :D

Hello Gray!
I was diagnosed with autism 3-4 years ago and to be honest with you, I really didn't know what to think about it. But these days, I've taken appreciation to having autism. My advice to you is to be happy with who you are no matter what people say. People with autism are very special, because they're the kind of people who have abilities people without autism can't do. Take appreciation to your diagnosis, I encourage that very much.
