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, Rachel! I think you can get a better understanding just by hanging out here. We have all sorts of people on various ends of the spectrum and all of them are unique individuals.
 
Welcome to the community :D

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 ...
