Oh my heart goes out to you and David.
Please see the autism.ADHD thread, which also encompasses aspergers.
I would guess part of the problem is that there is more than one issue, it's more than aspergers, it's mental health as well.
Anyon who's listentened to me rattle on, knows I have 4 grabdchildren, two with autism, and one with ADHD. But I also have an adult daughter age 38 who has fallen through the cracks for most of her life.
We believe she is aspergers,(especially with history of the ASD spectrum in the family) but has only ever officially been diagnosed with learning disabilities, and depression latterly.
She is a sweetheart on the good days.
She has never received appropriate counselling, because the depression support only addresses the one issue, and her comprehension doesn't allow full understanding.
I hope you will be able to find the right help, it's never too late.
sending lots of hugs.

Hi Puss, we cope by keeping on keeping on, and some days we have a good laugh at ourselves. Without humour, life could be quite devastating.
I so hope you'll be able to find the right help, we use other modalities as well as the traditional ones. Although much of my stress is situational, I've had clinical depression since I was 7 years old and know what works and doesn't for me. Appropriate vitamin support especially the B's is essentil for me. B is the vitamin one burns off, when stressed, it also contributes to a healthy blood haemoglobin, so to me it's the most essential. I take a multivite to include the mineral support, plus a B100 supplement which provides 100mg of each of the B's. In addition I take extra B6, & Vitamin C. I take calcium for my bones with magnesium, plus Vitamin D which helps the absorption of the calcium.
I also had a lot of help from a book called "potatoes not prozac", which basically helps us recognise how foods affect the way we feel. the author is Kathleen DesMaisons PhD.
Sending lots of positive caring your way,
hugs
Mary
