| It's not easy talking about AS so that the other person (NT) understands, many I have spoken with find it uncomfterable.

| Jag kommer att anta att det är OK att skriva på svenska. Det finns massor med skolor som du kan söka in på under våren. Sök på google (folkhögskolor aspergers).

| I got my diagnosis at thirteen and I was just fine with it. It's not the end of the world so don't let her think that, I would tell her: You were (possibly, if she wasn't ill at her early newborn days like I was) born with AS and I would never want to change you, that's what my mom said and it helpe... |

| I deffinatly think that the enviroment around a person, AS or NT makes a difference for the person. If you grow up in nurturing enviroment it relly makes a difference but more for people with AS and simillar dissorders then so called "normal" (I hate that word) people. |
