I'm going to stop there, though I could add loads more books. No single book has all the answers obviously and some are better than others in their presentation and approach. I've read most of them, but there are a couple that are still on my "to read" list so I won't make a sweeping comment about the usefulness of all of them - but the ones I have finished have contained useful advice.

I was going into my third year at university and had always felt out of place and slightly ostracized, never understanding why. After going through some bad bouts of depression in my first two years, I had heard the word aspergers mentioned before and the thought had crossed my mind but I never pursued learning more. One night I was having a particularly bad tantrum and explored more about asperger's, hoping to find some answers. I read an anecdotal story about an NT's relationship with an aspie which I really connected with (obviously on the aspie's side). Then I bought a Tony Atwood book which I started to identify even more with. By this point I was pretty sure that I had aspergers, but kept that mostly to myself and my girlfriend. I read more and became more sure, and a year later I got my official diagnosis which stamped out the last bit of doubt I had that it maybe wasn't aspergers

Been There, Done That - Try This (edited by tony Atwood) might be useful. There are a couple of good books aimed at teenagers also which may or may not be helpful - freaks, geeks and Asperger syndrome by Luke Jackson and the asperkids book of (secret) social rules by Jennifer O’Toole

The other thing to consider is using trusted neurotypicals as social rules translators - no book is going to cover every situation fully or enable you to see clues that may be obvious to NTs.

Sertaline FTW here too, currently experimenting with a 200mg dose (it's not going well, probbaly going down to 150).

I also occasionally get batches of amitriptyline to help with sleep.

Outside of that, I would heartily recommend this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Been-There-Done-That-This/dp/1849059640

Successful aspies share their stories, thoughts, and coping methods. If nothing else it's reassuring to know there are other people out there who do understand exactly how you feel.

Beyond that, I keep busy.
