please help has anyone got any ideas or proof to whether or not undianoised Asperger Syndrome can lead onto mental health issues in the future. I have a partner who is currently going through getting dianoised and the opputuinity arose at college to do a project on an area of my choice, so i decided to do it on Asperger Syndrome as i have found myself glued to the internet for hours at a time trying to find out as much as i can. I feel that more needs to be done to make people aware of the effects of autism and how varied and common it is. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
I am really annoyed that I was not diagnosed as a child and did not get the support I needed. Maybe I would not have developed OCD?? This is hard to know, however, as I am convinced my OCD is a neurological condition, linked to my aspergers in its origin. But this being so, surely if I was diagnosed as a child, measures could have been put in place to help me overcome OCD symptoms before they became disabling.
