hi im david i have aspergers syndrome, i find it hard to socialise and find myself alienated and alone...

i was first diagnosed at 13 and am now 38... i still find it hard to communicate even after living with aspergers for all this time... i stammer when i talk and very rarely give eye contact which often makes people believe im not listening or interested in what there saying...

anyone else out there having the same issues or is it just me.... :(

  • Hi Kenny,

    I was in the same situation about a year and a half ago.  I went to my GP to get a diagnosis and it took a bit of persuasion with the help of family members.   My local NHS Adult Autism Team made a formal diagnosis which I was diagnosed with Aspergers in May 2014.  

    The NAS are running a workshop day on Saturday March 5 and you dont have to have a formal diagnosis to attend.  It is held in London, on Euston Road at a venue called The Light, across from Euston Station.  There will be people on the day to advise.  This will be my first event with the NAS.  Details can be found on www.autism.org.uk/.../autismcon.aspx

    Hope this helps.
