Resources for Adults with Aspergers?

Hi I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for resources - maybe behavioural ideas/high level versions of Social Stories? for adults with mild aspergers?

At a session with a psychologist today it was suggested as a strong possiblity that I have mild Aspergers (gulp). I am (probably obviously) not interested in pursuing any formal sort of diagnosis.

TIA

i'll just copy and paste something that i put on another thread on the feeling down board:-

ah yes chinchilla but when I post you miss the poor eye contact/difficulty with small talk/literalness etc/physical and social clumsiness; for want of a better word I don't give off the "weirdo"/"nervous" vibes in the same way over the net! I am very literal - not good at all at blagging or white lies or flirting, and I
don't do inflections for sarcasm etc properly - I say something that's meant to be funny only it doesn't come out the right way. I love internet chat boards etc because they make life so much easier. also as well I find I am not at all instinctive with social situations - I find what comes naturally to other people I have to learn (and sometimes the hard way). also as well there is a connection between ASD and OCD. I would be at the mildest end of Aspergers, don't forget. I have always felt "different" tbh - people have said I am "intense" or "have a strong personality" in the past to explain it. As I say there's no definite official diagnosis so nothing is 100% set in stone.
