Asperger's and Mental Health

Hello all,

I was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome around 2 months ago, after a history of severe social impairments. I was instructed to identify an online community of people with autism by my therapist. Can I ask, what's the policy on discussing mental health issues occurring with autism on this forum? Is it prohibited? As my condition makes me severely depressed, and my therapist recommends talking this out with other sufferers.

Thanks.

  • I have diagnosed with high functioning autism since 2011, I have suffered from anxiety and depression since childhood.  There is a definite link between mental health problems.  My sister was Aspergers and she took her life, the rates of suicide is alarming as is homeless, which I fear massively.
