Hi cjbeattie. Welcome to Psych Central. I am so sorry you have suffered from aspergers and a rough time of things. No one should have to endure that. There are many forums here which you can find. One you might want to check out is Autism and Asperger's Syndrome - Forums at Psych Central

Many people here at PC find they can share these feelings and what they are going through with the confidence that people go through similar things and can empathize. So many forums are offered as well as Chatrooms (after you have 5 posts or comments on others posts). Anxiety (including social anxiety) is at 8PM EST Wednesday.

You can also be an active member in other ways like supporting others in their questions, reading articles and posts http://forums.psychcentral.com that are applicable to your area of concern.

Please feel free to private message me or any of the Community Liaisons by left clicking on the name in blue to the left of their post) for questions or just to share.
