It's a disorder that can lead to social isolation, depression and withdrawal.
But for adults living with Asperger's syndrome -- a form of autism -- there are few support services available:

Yes, and it has.

Unfortunately the link for that supppost is a place in Canada. Which I guess is fine if you live in Canada. I don't.

That's what I said to myself-it's for Ontario (which I don't live near). Was interesting that it featured A.J. Mahari, since I've read things she wrote about the dx (on other sites).

Her newest site seems to be this, which has stuff about borderline personality disorder, too:
