Kiffygirl and Lifeshould,

I would suggest that you start by perusing the web sites of:

Donna Williams http://www.donnawilliams.net/

Wendy Lawson http://www.mugsy.org/wendy/

- just to see whether as a start you identify with much of what they write about. They are both in the spectrum and both have helpful professional qualifications & experience.

Please note that autism spectrum conditions are not purely psychological.

One of the publishers in the field is Jessica Kingsley Publishers ( www.jkp.com ) and they publish a number of books by people with the condition e.g the above mentioned.

Writings by people who have got it describe it better.

Please keep us informed of your explorations! In my opinion there aren't a lot of channels of information or support. Perhaps autism societies can give a little guidance or advice.
