I'm kind of annoyed in some ways that having had behavioral problems throughout most of my school life (especially through having to see a councillor on and off roughly between ages 7-9) that I was never suspected or diagnosed with aspergers sooner than age 25 and yet others (admitedly some of whom showed stronger or more obvious symptoms) had the luxury of a much earlier diagnosis in their life and could at least have something to attribute some or most of their problems to. My mum (who made my unoficial diagnosis through some training at her pre-school) was the one who suspected this of me and then retracted the assumption a long time after (by which time I knew much more than her and was totally convinced). It's still potentially going to be a long wait before an official diagnosis, but I want to hear from others.
How old were you when you were suspected of this?
Who suspected it?
What country and or health service (if any) were you diagnosed or helped under?
What did your diagnosis testing involve?
How did it change your life (in terms of your knowledge, expectations and support)?
Do you feel lucky to have been diagnosed?
