Hi Everyone,
My name is Jade and i'm 24 years old and I've just had my Aspergers diagnosis a couple of months ago. I also have an ADHD diagnosis too.
I'm glad i've found a place I can talk to people who understand the struggles I face on a daily basis, it helps to know i'm not the only one. Especially when my family, patner and friends don't really understand. So it's kinda nice to read some of the posts and think "ooh i do that" or "i struggle with that too" and just to get some kind of tips/ideas really.
And i hope i can be of a little bit of help to some of you too, i hope so anyway haha :)

(either on ADHD or Aspergers/Autism spectrum) i've heard of a book called 'Living well on the spectrum' i think it was called, do you know if it's any good or worth buying at all?

I'd recommend "Living Well on the Spectrum". It's by Valeris Gaus. It has a series of worksheets to help identify where you have problems, and worksheets to help resolve them. It's a good read without doing the work too.
I think another book well worth reading is "Complete Guide to Aspergers Syndrome" by Tony Attwood. I think it pretty much covers everything about Aspergers.
