I dunno if this counts as a resource so I'll post my spiel here:

Adventures in Autism: A Late Diagnosis Story

People appear to have been enjoying it. So I want to try to reach others. I do speak about personal experiences but I also post about those of other individuals as well as studies and news articles, etc. I'm always open to suggestions on what I should write about so if there's something you'd like to read, let me know.

Despite being autistic all my life, I only found out about it last year. Beforehand I thought I was insane. Stumbly steps on the road to self-discovery as well as passing on information to others.

And attempts at humour.

If you think you'd be interested, you can follow on Tumblr or follow @ NyxBean on Twitter as all my posts go there as well.

Two other places you will tend to catch my posts from this are my https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/ASD/ pinboard and https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/my-aspergers/ pinboard. Another two which may see posts are https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/asp...g-life-skills/ and https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/lea...abilities-pdds.

I was professionally diagnosed using the DSM-IV. If it had been the DSM-5 then I'd simply be considered high-functioning autistic while the ICD-10 would still label me with Asperger's Syndrome (I believe). It's a mess, that's what it is! Either way, I still am an advocate for sensible and researched self-diagnosis because of the price tag in places like the United States, as well as a few other issues. This means you needn't worry about me being a little dictator on the matter. All are welcome. ^_^
