Asperger's Syndrome

The other night I was watching the award winning "House" drama, and there was a bit about a kid with Asperger's syndrome. Well, it piqued my curiosity because most of the symptoms mentioned sounded like an inventory of my life.
Well, with just a little research I found lots. The person I wrote to suprisingly answered my email, and the next day too. She's a self diagnosed Asperger's person, and an MD. She told me that many transwomen suffer from Asperger's and like I thought it manifests with many of the same symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder.
The treatment is similar in both cases. Asperger's patients sometimes benefit from an anti psychotic too.
I struggled with what ever is odd about me for my whole life, but was very successful career wise, until I could not hold it together any more. I imagine things are similar for many of us. I hope this will help someone.
Many Blessings
