New to Group and Aspergers

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! My husband and I believe that he has Aspergers. We've been

researching and reading everything we can find online and are planning to order

some books soon, too. The more we read, the more convinced we become. He's a

little bit sad about the diagnosis because he doesn't want to be " different " but

I keep telling him that he already IS different, I love him for it, and the only

thing that's changed is that now we have a frame of reference for dealing with

some of our issues. I'm glad to be here with all of you!

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have him tested? Are there any people here

who were diagnosed as adults or know someone who was? What was that process

like? Should we find a therapist who can help him/us? We're wondering what our

next steps should be.

Also, are any of you part of any real-life support groups? I read about some and

they sound great, but I'm not sure how I'd find one where we live. We live in

the Louisville, KY, area.

Thanks so much!
