I'm 27 and was diagnosed as having Aspergers at 18. I was basketball captain, head girl, editor of school paper and a great student. I went to uni, and fell apart.

No one who knew me before I went to uni would have suspected because I am a coper. I cope very well until, well... I don't.

I think sometimes being a high achiever both academically and socially makes it harder because people just can't accept the person they know has this difference. I can be too good at acting 'normal'

If any of that helps!?
