Can undiagnoised Asperger Syndrome lead to mental health issues?

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 think Diagnosed or Undiagnosed Asperger Syndrome can be a cause of mental illness.

    Firstly as the NAS say many Autistic become mentally ill because of lack of support not directly because of Autism.

    Secondly some Autisitc people have a mental illness because of a Co-Existing condition.
