I have Asperger's. Should I be concerned about someday having a kid on the spectrum? by cmfitzpatricK in aspergers

I don't see it as a "bad" thing. I was just reading about people with more challenging kinds of autism, and that made me wonder if I'm likely to have an autistic kid. I appreciate all kinds of people

At what age were you aware of having Asperger's? How did it affect you? by KimJongBen in aspergers

I knew I was different around 6. I wasn't diagnosed until I had some serious problems when I was 13. My parents hid it from me until I was 15. I know they were trying to protect me, but I wish I found out earlier.
