After what I went through when I first got my diagnosis, I feel like I need to warn you against falling for a trap I fell in. Maybe I don't have to, but I'd rather say it in case.

When it was just a strong suspicion that I had aspergers, I could read about other people's experiences and identify that *this* is like me, *that* is not like me, *this* is a big problem, *that* is a minor issue. To some degree I had a confidence in who I was, what my personality was like. But after the diagnosis, every problem I had before was much worse, and minor issues I identified with in other people's descriptions felt like they were much bigger problems in my life. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy, I got much worse for a while, and perhaps... I haven't really recovered yet.

So... I'd just say that, you gotta find the confidence to know yourself before (or while) you read more about aspergers. And when you find you can relate to the experience of others, be careful to recognise we're all on a spectrum, and it probably isn't an equal experience.
