Coping with Asperger's Syndrome in Adults

There are undoubtedly thousands of adults in the world with undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome. Because the condition was only given a name in the early 1980s, many children would have grown up without the benefit of a diagnosis. They would probably have been loners and may have been labelled as eccentric or odd.

Many adults with Asperger's do marry, especially if they are high functioning. While the condition may cause stress between husbands and wives, it can also add qualities such as faithfulness and honesty.

It is never to late to seek help and if an adult suspects they have Asperger's, they should seek confirmation from a doctor. Knowledge brings understanding and it is possible for a person to work on weakness such as social interaction and speech.

Some of my recent articles may help those who know an adult with Asperger's syndrome:
