Vorn Report post Posted September 24, 2009 Hi. I am Jake and I am 44. I live in (not so sunny) Cornwall, and I was diagnosed as Aspergers in 1999 at 35. My son is a more severe autism than I and I help voluntarilly at the school where he attends. It was through his diagnosis some 7 months earlier than mine that I was able to recognise my own condition. I look forward to meeting many likeminded and understanding people here. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We always have our annual holiday down there, near the Penzance area, never been anywhere else, as we all love it so much. I'm 19 and just a couple of weeks ago got my diagnosis, but was in a similar situation as you, it was through my brother being diagnosed months earlier that I also was Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
