Hi everyone. im an adult recently diagnosed with aspergers in 2010. to be honest most of the help out there is geared towards children and parents of those with autism.  My experience is most services people and charities dont know how to help adults with aspergers syndrome or symply dont care and say they should figure it all out themselves. I personally think thats a bit of a cop out.  Anyway im here to make freinds i hope you all are having a good christmas period.

  • Hohner, this is spot on. I have EXTREME anxiety, day in day out: OCD, hypochondria, stressed by outside stimuli like cars and people, fear of losing control, anxiety around organization, endless phobias..... I look like I am coping because I don't tend to make a fuss, keep my mouth shut because I don't like confrontation, and I mask my Aspergers by feigning 'normality': I repress what is going on inside and only let a very few people enter my world.
