Hello
Recently a condition has been brought to my attention by some of the people I know as a possible 'split' diagnosis for me. I found it difficult when the people I knew mentioned it first because it seems there are so many possibilties in terms of diagnosis of mental health or behavioural problems now that it exhausts me sometimes, particularly when conditions overlap. Yet reading about it and talking to people who work with other people who have Asperger's has enthralled me. I have just started to read a book that has been sitting on my shelf for a few months just waing to be picked up called 'Asperger's Syndrome' by Tony Attwood. From what I have heard it seems an excellent introduction to the world of Asperger's and look forward to posting a response if it is a good read. Some of the things I feel I see in myself when I read about Asperer's Syndrome is the inability to read other peoples body language and social cues.
