Hello, I'm a 30 y/o gay male from NYC. Born and raised here, moved upstate for college (English degree) and then moved to San Diego for grad school where I got my MA in Humanities/Mythology because probably like many of you I am kind of a big nerd. I would like to write something someday that people like enough to read. I read a lot, some science fiction stuff, but a lot of comedies or thrillers also. I also try to throw a text book in there every now and then just to stay fresh. I'm huge on video games and I'd say that I have obsessive tendencies towards broadway musicals and television series.
On to the subject at hand: I have discussed Asperger's with a previous therapist and we both said that it was more than likely a yes, as well as all the responses from the online quizzes. I have been in touch with a group here to get officially diagnosed but I can't afford to pay for it. I feel like sometimes I won't make it through life, like I will never have a decent job or a decent relationship and I feel like I need more resources or support but may not get it because I do not have the official diagnosis. I had an interview today but I told a friend that failing at so many interviews makes me want to ram my head into a wall, and of course this website would have this icon: :banghead:
