As a young adult, I learned that I have Asperger's/ASD through conversations with health professionals and therapists as well as my own research. However, since learning this, I have not received an official medical diagnosis. I am now preparing to obtain the official diagnosis to have documentation...

Thank you so much for all the information and for sharing your experiences! My ultimate goal is to be a university professor, so being a quirky nerd will be a bonus. I had a very positive experience when I got a formal diagnosis and asked for accommodations at work. I've heard a few people on the bo...

Dinosaurs! At age 3, I wanted to be a paleontologist, a word I could correctly pronounce and define despite adults in my family not knowing its meaning. In 2nd grade, I taught the dinosaur unit for my class as well as the other 2nd grade classes. Until I went to middle school, the 2nd grade teachers...

Since then, I have never been formally diagnosed. I have taken the Asperger's Quotient (AQ) test, and m...

I would consider myself athletic but not in the traditional way. I've always disliked team sports, largely due to poor coordination, clumsiness, and social awkwardness as a child persisting into adulthood.

There is a wide range of beers. They all have their own unique flavors and characteristics. For a long time, I thought it all was horrible, but then I figured out that there was a lot more out there than I realized. Now I know what I like and find it really pleasant. I greatly enjoy a nice craft bre...

Hello. I actually just joined myself. When I was reading your story, it really sounded like my own. For years, I couldn't figure out why I didn't seem to fit in. I had all of these socially awkward traits and quirks that made me something of a lifelong misfit. I began researching different condition...
