You go write your book and good on you. I am just starting to try to get my diagnoses at 41 years of age. You have inspired me. x

@Sitheis2009 Yes. It is not only possible, but probable. Asperger Syndrome IS on the autistic spectrum. It is the next step up from high-functioning autism. Anyone the spectrum can have one or a combination of any of the various disorders. They don't have to have ALL of them, as you assume. They just have to have one. But, if they have one, it is a good chance that they will have one or two more like I do. For example, PDD and AD/HD and can be paired with Asperger Syndrome.

@Api2Bmeanalien Thank you. It is good to know that I have inspired someone. Actually, I have been in need of quite a bit of inspiration myself and your comment has touched off that inspiration. I think you and I could be good friends. All the best to you:)

@Sitheis2009 there are many different types of autism and a person can have more than one with one type as the dominant. In my case, I am pre-dominantly Aspergian (AS) with lesser degress of AD/HD and Pervasive Developmental Disorder. But, basically, I am an Aspie with a little extra somethng.
