New Here And Out Of My Comfort Zone

Warmheart said:
Welcome! :) If you have a diagnosis of Asperger's, (or any of the other earlier categories) you do NOT need to get reassessed. Your diagnosis stands. It is simply now documented with current specialists as "Autism Spectrum Disorder." You already have a diagnosis, save your pennies. ;)

If you're in USA, find a local chapter of The Arc. Ask if they have an "Autism NOW Center." They help support adults as well as kids on the plectrum, and this means help with independent living, job skills training, social skills classes, support staff to help you in the community running errands or going to appointments, etc.

Best success to you, and again, welcome to AC!

I actually already have found The Arc. I'm lucky enough that my local chapter is in my city, although it's across town. I'm having a time of it making contact, though.

Oops....I'm pretty new here myself, and I'm not sure about my page or who can access it....I do think I set a bunch of things to private, but then I didn't put any details on my profile page either. We should still be able to message though. Ha...so I guess I am still very concerned about privacy, due to how I feel weird/uncomfortable with having an internet presence.

That's understandable.
