Newly diagnosed with Aspergers at 35

This isn't the norm for me, and really isn't part of my routine, but maybe being able to communicate with people that can understand me, may help as I get so frustrated and angry cause there isn't anyone that does.

    I've recently been diagnosed with Asperger's at 55!  (Any bids for 65?)

    After the diagnosis, I did not receive any specialised support for a period of six weeks, which was the time I felt I most needed it.  A one-hour 1:1 autism advice session was scheduled almost immediately, and I've attended it, but by the time the appointment actually arrived it wasn't so important for me. 

    I presume support varies regionally but my local autism unit seems willing to meet for fairly regular 1:1 sessions - they ask for a specific issue to be discussed.  I've also been booked onto a post-diagnostic support group - a six-part course starting in January (about three months after my diagnosis).
