Hello,

I'm a thirty one year old female who was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome a couple of months ago. Although I'm glad to finally have an answer to the question "why am I the way I am?", I'm still no better off in the sense that there's no support groups in my region or people I can communicate with who understand when things fall apart. I'd really appreciate some advice such as how to cope with meltdowns (had one today and wasn't until I got home and closed the door that I finally managed to calm down). Things get pretty lonely and find it nion impossible to make friends. I've been dithering about for a while now, trying to pluck up the courage to introduce myself on this site. I'm not really sure what to do or say. Would really like to meet like minded people who can offer support and possibly be a help to others who have had similar experiences.

  • I gather that as you're in your forties and were only diagnosed last year that you're female? It would appear I'm not as alone as I thought. Thankyou so much for posting me the "Asperger United" link. This is extremely helpful and will be visiting this site after replying to a couple of messages. As I said to Scorpion0x17, it's a pity we can't disclose our real names and personal information otherwise I could have looked out for you in the pen pal section.

    I also find nature very therapeutic. There amongst the mountains there's no stress, lonliness or irritation, only calm and peace. Do you think you'll get another rescue cat eventually? I got a rescue cat a few months ago and have have found her more helpful than a lot of professionals. Even down to having conversations with one another....if that makes sense.
