Well times must be different now, but i know a gal who went for assesment at 10 years old, and only 10 years later got told she had it.
my brother did assesment as 14, got told at 21 he had it. so, i could be out dated. but this was in liverpool both times.
@Ari They don't just diagnose someone with Aspergers though. Bit more difficult to do tests etc, Idk what country he's from, but in uk, can take 10 years to get a diagnoses. (unless you have lots of money ofc)
asperger's syndrome is nothing to be ashamed of.
It's a brave thing telling people you have it, due the fact they we're never respected about 10 years ago.
It's exactly like said above, It's only something on a piece of paper, It gives you reasurance that you are different, and thats okay...
