Hello, my name is Cameron. I was never informed that I have AS until I was age nineteen. I have always been socially distant and have found it extremely difficult to interact with other sheeple- oops, I mean "people." :banghead: I was skeptical, as I typically am with everything, and refused to go to a diagnosis center. As I read more and more on AS, I see too many similarities between AS and myself for it to be coincidence. Well, I have come to agree that, yes, I am an "aspie" (the term sounds corny to me) and have since sought ought to meet people like myself. I have been usuccessful in this probably due to the fact that "aspies" are generally very standoff-ish (and one can understand, with the constant alienation from peers.) I have grown tired of weeding through the simpletons, who have nothing at all inspiring to say, and turned to the internet. Now I have landed here, and I hope to find people I can relate to, and possibly make a friend or two- but no more than two!...just kidding. Asperger's has not been the only draining issue in my life (although it is the governing issue), but I have had experiences with a wide range of problems from disease, comorbidity, and addiction. I look forward to interacting with others in these forms and hope to not only learn about myself, but perhaps help some others, also.
