Hello everyone, My name is Tiffany Victoria Horan, I'm twenty five years old. I'm British and although I was born in the UK, I grew up in the United Arab Emirates. I now live in Warsaw, Poland and I have also lived in Taiwan. Due to the nature of my hectic (third culture kid) upbringing (different countries, different schools, etc.) it took a very long time for anyone, including myself, to understand what was 'wrong' with me. I began seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist here in Warsaw after a number of 'incidents' occurred at university and work. Everything was so clear to them that after a couple of months I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. It was twenty five years worth of explanations in a single sentence. However, receiving a diagnosis later on can be difficult as there may already be significant damage caused, for example, spending my entire life in a state of confusion and frustration caused me to develop PNES. I take medication for anxiety. I'm interested in art, philosophy and technology.

Hi, I'm just starting a PhD in the next few months. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2011. I didn't receive any funding or support during my undergraduate studies. I wondered if anyone had had any success getting a grant for a PhD or higher education? I have looked up the DSA and enquired at the university but we're still quite unsure. Many thanks, Alis
