In Canada They Pay Attention to the Adults with Autism

The Vancouver Sun puts the spotlight on the adults with their article called Autism in Adults Finally Getting Attention.  It talks about the focus that is now on adults getting diagnosed with autism and Asperger's Syndrome.  In the past they had been misdiagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression. 

The usual criteria for diagnosis is usually directed towards children and adolescents, but doctors have noticed that the adults with autism and Asperger's Syndrome have a disastrous time with socializing with others.
