Hello, I'm Rachel, 27, and have recently been diagnosed as having aspergers. Trying to get my head round it all at the moment! Any tips on getting a better understanding would be well received.

Welcome to the community

First off, I would suggest that you tell yourself that your a human being and that everyone makes mistakes and that just because someone has a knowledge of one or more things doesn't make them better than you or me any other person. Never let anyone take away your rights to be a human being or make you feel like less of a person because of your Autism.

Secondly, I'm sure you've had a lot of difficulties and frustrations with your Asperger's as I've been through this too many times. I would suggest you just accept these and accept that they're a part of you. Yes you are different but that doesn't make you anything less than anyone else. Everybody, whether NT or not have their difficulties in life and not being able to naturally sense social cues or body languages doesn't make you less of a person.

There will always be someone in this world who would want you to feel bad for being different. They are not worth bothering with ...

Hello and welcome. There are the resources (as already pointed out) and a some that were less certain have started a few threads to determine whether they have been diagnosed (here is one: Hello Peeps Have I been misdiagnosed | Page 2 | AspiesCentral.com They generally ask others to describe their experience as aspies which can be useful to get a good understanding.
