    Hello! Feeling a bit unsure of myself

    Hi everyone! My therapist of one year suggested that I might have Aspergers a couple days ago and after doing some research I think she might be right. Ever since then I have been feeling like I don't know who I am anymore, even though obviously nothing has changed. I have been diagnosed and...

    Greetings!

    Hello everyone, I'm a 25-year-old female living in rural Pennsylvania, and I just received my official diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome/Autism Spectrum Disorder yesterday. My goal on this site is to make connections, compare experiences, and learn about resources. Growing up in a small town...

    Hail, fellow travelers!

    Okay, that was SUPER lame, but its the first thing that popped into my head and I'm sticking to it! I offer greeting as instructed, and would like to state to the community at large that I come seeking friendship among (literally) like-minded people via the information super highway (hello, this...

    Introducing Myself

    I live on the eastern seaboard of the United States and joined to stay within an online network of other people like me. That's pretty much it, I'm admittedly terrible at this type of thing.
  5. SilencedShadows

    Greetings Community :)

    Name is Nick, I love making art, youtube videos, enjoy role-playing, as well as love watching anime. Video games also is one of my most favorite things. I hope there can be some friends to be met on here. Would really enjoy talking with others for I'm lonely and am under depression at the moment...

    ADHDer, maybe autistic?

    Hi, I just discovered this place a couple days ago, and apparently this is the best place to start. So, I figured out I have ADHD a few years ago, after reading an article about undiagnosed ADHD in women (lower rates of diagnosis stemming from the difference in symptoms between boys and girls...

    A re-introduction of sorts

    Hi gang. My name is Corrinne but most people call me Cory. I am 28 years old and I am originally from England but I live in California, US, with my husband. I do not have a "formal" diagnosis of Aspergers as of yet but I do have professional opinion after a long period of observation (from my...

    So, this is the place where I won't be standing out, right?

    Hello, I'll get one thing out of the way, first: I'm terrible at introductions, and talking about myself is one exercise I usually avoid. And as you will quickly see, once I do start, I tend to get carried away. Anyway... I registered a few weeks ago, when I was up all night awaiting my...

    A re-introduction.

    Hi everyone, I was on these forums a few months ago under the username "AspieDylan," but I needed to take a break due to personal issues that were going in my life. I'm in a better place now though, and I'm glad to be back. So, that's all for now. I look forward to chatting with each and every...

    Hiya, thought I'd introduce myself

    Hi there. I'm 14 years of age, and officially diagnosed with ADHD and Narcolepsy, a rather unpleasant sleep disorder. I immensely enjoy programming, and I'm entirely self-taught. My work in relation to that can be seen here. I'm mostly on here just to talk, hopefully to help manage my life...

    Introduction

    Hi! I first heard about classic autism from a movie I watched decades ago that was based on a true story. I'm not sure, but I think it was called Son Rise, and it was about a couple with an autistic boy. Although I found the movie interesting, I didn't personally relate to it. Decades later...
  12. UniqueCreatures

    Finally in Kansas.

    48 and my first diagnosis ADHD with communication challenges to create a long story and many different words. Whatever they say is what high iq, just have more sense quotient; too driven, too analytical aka obsessive and high emotional behavior they have called a label to be clear I suppose...
  13. P

    Hello

    Hello, everyone. I'm prtex, and I'm new here. I live in Houston. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome about 9 1/2 years ago, as an adult. I feel very sad right now because I have Asperger's. I feel sad because I feel defective. I have ever since I found out I have the syndrome. I believe it...
  14. Floo

    Greetings from Hungary!

    Hi, I'm Flóra a 19 year old "fake aspie" (most people think I'm just using Aperger's as an excuse to my behavioural issues and meltdowns which they perceive as childish tantrums). I really want a diagnosis but I think I don't have to explain how much of a complex process that is. I like...
  15. Bolletje

    Another one joins the club

    Hey everyone, so glad to find a platform for people going through the same things I am. I'm a 30 y/o Dutch female, diagnosed with Aspergers about a year and a half ago, after 15 years of struggling with depression, anxiety and finding my place in society. I'm in a pretty happy place right now...

    Finally realised I was HF Aspergers

    Hello there... I am a person who is trying to get a late diagnosis in my mid 50's of Aspergers and finding resources are amazingly scant here in the UK in my neck of the country. Despite working in education for many years, never realised I could be Aspergic but now it fits like an old glove...

    Lurker no more...

    Hi! *waves awkwardly* :flushed: I've been lurking for a while but finally decided to join. I am not officially diagnosed, but I was evaluated by a doctor when I was 12 who just listed me as having ADHD so I wouldn't be "labeled" (his words). I sometimes don't know if I "fit in," but then at...
  19. kneazl

    Hello hello!

    Hi there! I just found this forum, and I am so happy to see that I can navigate it from my cell phone! I just received my diagnosis, and I'm overwhelmed with relief. I had always been "explained" by a bunch of parts of other issues. I actually am still learning quite a bit about asperger's...

    NEW MEMBER INTRODUCTION

    Hello fellow aspies. I wasn't diagnosed with the condition until I was in my late 50's. Keeping a job for an extended period of time has been a big challenge for me. Employers often think I'm too slow to catch on. It's really my slow mental processing speed. I am capable of doing the work...
