I would advise to take it easy. With a lot of calm and introspection.

I would advise to do a recount of the life up to the time of diagnosis. That helps to get rid of certain sins, if any, for having acted in a way that we consider wrong and that it was simply the best thing that could have made taking into account the characteristics of people with Asperger's Syndrome and his way to face the world.

I would advise to work "areas-problem" individuals. We are all different and we have differences within the diagnosis.

I would advise not to tell in a first time to all people. Most will not understand. But the immediate family if you must know. That helps to information about Asperger's Syndrome and the acceptance of differences.

I would advise you to join support groups in your community from people with the same condition.

Informed by reliable sources ( not the internet ), centers of expertise ( example Foundation Friends of Barcelona) to meet people with the same disorder and do a follow-up psychological to accept such a condition and to live it in the best way possible.

accept the condition and not treat it as a disease because it is not, and they do everything they can to improve the quality of life of the person.
