Books or articles on PDD-NOS in adults?

Post Reply New Topic

I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS a couple of months ago and so many articles focus on children, I thought I'd ask here.
Please point me to books or articles about PDD-NOS in adults, so I can read up a little.

I only today realized the implications of this diagnosis. My psychologist focused on the ADD he also diagnosed, and so did I.
Then I thought "hey, why don't I read up on that unspecified BS" and it dawned on me that s**t! I may not be as autistic as my kid, but MAN, so much in my life makes sense when I look back knowing this. The P in PDD should have tipped me off, but I guess my ADD kept me from googling my diagnosis. Wow.

So. Any good books or articles?

Thanks.
