Hey there, space cats!

[okgod]

Hi everyone, I'm Kory! I'm 17, and first started suspecting I had aspergers around 3 years ago. Around that time my dad was listening to this podcast, and on it a man was recounting his experiences with aspergers. My dad could relate to him in a lot of ways and started suspecting that he himself had aspergers, and asked for my opinion on it. When I started looking more into aspergers so that I could tell him whether I thought it sounded like him or not, I myself found that I could really relate to it too!

I never got an official diagnosis because I've accepted aspergers in myself since I first found out about it, and although it does make socializing and communicating more difficult for me, I don't think it causes a big enough negative impact on my life to require discussion with a therapist or psychologist. Since then my younger brother has been officially diagnosed though, and I made a really close friend last year who has been officially diagnosed as well. I can identify a lot with both of them, and they think I have aspergers as well. Aspergers has been become a huge part of my identity to me, so I'm happy to join a community like this!

In terms of my interests, I usually get obsessive about a single interest for a couple of years and then move onto a different one, but right now I'm really in love with pokemon. Not gonna go into that right now because I can run on about pokemon for hours but if any of you like pokemon too we should talk :>

Welcome,
My kids watched Pokemon from day one, and although I am not into it, I always liked Pikachu. Oh, and Meoth. (I think that's how you spell it).

Thanks! I've seen monkeys get along with cats before, I bet we'd make a great team in space :3

Meowth really is a cutie! I'm attached to the older episodes of the show because I've watched those since I was very young (pokemon came out the same year I was born!), but I'm mostly into the card game and collecting aspects c:

It's nice to encounter other feline friends on here! :3 Comparing notes with other aspies really does help, it's cool that you have your father and dad to help you out as well
