Hi Sophie, welcome to AC! Lots of great folks here from all over the world. Be sure to check out the chatroom and all the great topics! Mikie
 
The self-appointed Mayor of Aspieville welcomes you aboard :)

I hope you find us both friendly and helpful here
 
Welcome aboard. It is quite a thing to learn about, particularly with a later diagnosis. Lots of things to absorb and accept. I hope you enjoy this website. There is a wonderful friendly vibe here, in addition to several interesting members. You have just opened a door to a whole new world.
Best wishes

 
Hi Sophie and welcome,
I am really glad that you have joined us. You will find that this is a good place with many great people. I think you will also find that you are not alone, that many people feel the same things as you do. Many of us are like family here because we understand and accept each other. Something you do not always get from the world out there.
I am looking forward to hearing from you so I hope you will feel free to join in on, or start conversations.
 
Hi Sophie, welcome to our community. There's lots of info and support here, and it's always exciting to see a new face :)
 
Hi Sophie and welcome to our Community ! Our member and friend Rocco illustrated a very nice way to introduce you in our universe. Fell free to open the door anytime and step in out mysterious world. You never know what friendships you can bind here :)
 
Welcome :)

As you can see, we have a fair few members who are quite friendly, and supportive, so I hope you feel right at home here.

Feel free to check out our recommended readings section, for books on autism/ Asperger's. Most members will agree that Dr. Tony Attwood's books are a great place to start: Resources | AspiesCentral.com

I also like to recommend this one to our female members. It's very informative, and talks about the many differences between traits found in men and women:

Hi Sophie. I hope you don't mind me asking but which route for getting a diagnosis is the best way forward?
My son who is 18 is awaiting for an appointment to see a clinical pyscologist. He's been referred through his GP. Just seems to be a long waiting game though.
