Good for you it is never to late to get a diagnosis I say! I am 39 and live in Melbourne, Australia. I was diagnosed as having "HFA/Asperger's" in early 2010. I am a disability support worker and a post graduate student of disability hoping to undertake a PhD next year. My surname is Kennedy too; that's from my father's side which traces back to Ireland a long time ago. Hello Ann, I am Heather Anne but people call me Heather.

I am 52 years old. I discovered I could sketch four years ago from photos. You can read the story on my website if you want. I am trying to use my artwork to produce an income. It is becoming increasing harder for me to find employment. Any suggestions from anyone! I just discovered that I have AS and the reason I can sketch like I do is because I am a Savant.

I would be considered an 'oldie!' i am 58yrs old. Omg, that sounds bad! recently i was diagnosed as being Asperger. it has not come as a surprise at all. many asked why i decided to try get a diagnosis on this, but i cannot say why other than it has made just a slight difference to my thinking. i make a good friend on the net. i believe i am witting and sparky and talented. i do a lot of photography after having to bail out of my art practise professionally due to a neurodegenerative disorder. I am hopeing for friendship here and it would be so good too if i could sell, some of my photographic artwork. i have an identical twin sister who is an Aspie too and also has a neurodegenerative disorder. so thats my intro. lots to say on life, but do keep pretty much to myself in my real world, i guess here people will understand what that is all about. now, please whoever reads this, i dont want unwelcomed emails so hope everyone will be careful that is those who are not genuine need not apply!! hello i am living in Dublin Ireland.
