Combining practical guidance with advice from personal experience and interviews and correspondence with specialists in the field, the book discusses if and when to disclose to family, friends and employers, how to seek appropriate support services, and how to use the self-knowledge gained through diagnosis to live well in the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"clear: left; height: 0px; font-size: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 1.23em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0.75em 0px 0.375em -15px; clear: left; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003ePhilip Wylie sought a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome at the age of 52 after reading an article about autism in an accountancy magazine and having a 'Eureka' moment!
