    What is the difference between Aspergers and High Functioning Autism?

    I got my autism diagnosis late last year at age 57. It can be tough when you are older and discover that you are autistic and have already made a lot of big life choices that could have been different.

    I guess I just added to that rate. Maybe my dx bumped it to 61%! :sweatsmile:

    Resources for newly diagnosed Autistic people and those who think they might be.

    It has been a while since I've been active here. I've been busy working on an autistic resources website: https://autism-101.com. When I was diagnosed late last year it took me quite a while to find the online autistic community and good resources. I thought it might be useful to put all of...
