I enrolled last year on a masters course and have my final exam for this module coming up. Only I've gone through all my records to look for a letter from an educational psychologist I think it was that diagnosed me at the age of 7. Usually I get extra time for my exams but the university needs something from an educational psychologist as proof. I have stuff from my SENCO's that I sent along with individual education plans, but not good enough. I've never actually seen the letter but my parents used it as proof for my university first degree course. I've contacted the uni to see if they have a copy but they haven't got back to me. I'm planning a lot of education over the next few years and it does put me at a severe disadvantage compared to the other students as I have a quite prominant processing delay. The psychologist themselves aparlently doesn't keep records. Would there be any other way to get proof of my diagnosis without going through a adult diagnosis?

Well, i'm 21 with aspergers and dyspraxia. After many year of disecting jokes and even reading every joke in one of those 100 joke books i managed to work out why some things are funny, but not all of them and i don't always laugh. I have however developed my own sense of humour that relies mostly on irony. Watching the latest batman movie, i found scaringly enough the joker's sense of humour was close to mine. I laughed on the scene where he had set the truck on fire, because he had chosen to set a firetruck on fire rather than an ordinary one. Dunno, just my sort of humor. Like the film 'mirror mask' that is a text book definition of my sort of humor. I also find myself laughing when people go through predictable patterns of conversation. Like 'hows the weather' etc, its like a check list they go through - find it hard not to laugh when i make a comment about the weather or family or something. From my point of view, i think sarcasm may cause more problems than jokes. I still find it difficult at times picking up sarcasm.

Greetings, new here. I am 21, female, diagnosed with aspergers as a toddler. Currently beginning my last year of a degree in animal behaviour and welfare. My best friend is my oddball cat, and i'm planning on getting a job with animals once i graduate. About all i can think of right now, except perhaps that i also have dyspraxia affecting my gross motor skills. So both socially and physically awkward Nice to meet you
