Absolutely timely!

The concerns facing adults with Aspergers are overlooked; hence a book on Aspergers that focuses on adults!

The AMAZON link contains a 'Customers Who Also Bought This Item Also Bought:' listings. One listing is the Book 'Adult Asperger's Syndrome: The Essential Guide: ...........'

To adults approaching middle age to senior citizens (I 'm within this group - I was diagnosed in my mid 30s): Your'e not alone!

The Amazon review says the book will outline steps to an adult diagnosis, discuss the pros and cons of telling people about it, and show you how "to use the self-knowledge gained through diagnosis to live well in the future." I wish some sort of guidelines had been around when I went through the process.
