I would think that the chance of being diagnosed in your mid 40's without any history, such as what family members can provide, and without having overwhelmingly clear symptoms is pretty remote. I should caution you against being too hard on people w

What are the chances of being diagnosed with AS when you are in your mid 40's; with no previous medical or psychiatric documentation or family confirmation? I am concerned someone I know has "self diagnosed" because she refuses to tell me w

I'm sorry. I guess I should have mentioned it, but I like it too. In fact, I've sent it on to someone suffering from existential depression. I'm not sure he's an aspie, but lots of indicators point that way. Unfortunately, he also has physical challe

I love that Max thinks Aspies are cool!! It makes me feel like my main goal has been accomplished. He in no way feels that having aspregers is a disability but rather something to be proud of and a gift. You can't imagine how happy that makes me a
