24 female and have just taken the first steps to diagnosis

Hi all, 

As my subject says I'm 24 and last week went to my doctor to ask her about getting started on getting an Asperger’s diagnosis. She seemed a bit baffled (unfortunately it was the first time I have seen her as my normal doctor has just gone on maternity leave) but I am going back in a week and 5 days to talk it all through as then she will have time to know what to do. I live in a very quiet part of England so can't imagine they get many adults in saying I have Aspergers, diagnose me please. 

Anyway, I just wanted to meet some other people at different stages of diagnosis and/ or who have lived knowing they have ASD all their lives- I've been doing a lot of reading about the subject unsurprisingly, and in particular the difference between male and female ASD people but still know very little.

So nice to meet you all!
