welcome

Hi Stephanie! I can very much relate to what you have been through, especially what you said about church and being in a fog.

What are some bands you like to listen to?

Some of the bands I like(and I'll try to keep the list small, lol) are Matchbox 20, The Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse, The Black Maria, Armor For Sleep, Jonezetta, and Making April.

Hi Stephanie,

Welcome to WP!

Now the question on every lips is this ....... are you single?

There are many lovely, young, single males on WP!

Funny you should say that Smelena....
the question busting to get out of my lips was "Do you like Australopithecus Afarensis?"
Then again, that is the question that is USUALLY busting to get through my lips...

Hi Stephanie and welcome! I am new to WrongPlanet as well and so far it has helped me to be able to read about and interact with others that I have so much in common with.

I have been through a lot in my life as well and I can only encourage you to keep moving forward. Maybe as you learn more about yourself and AS you will feel better. The education on the subject has really helped me fight my way towards happiness and trying to feel more content with who I am, instead of an outcast.

How accurate are these tests? I do understand they are basically guidelines and shouldn't be used to definitively asses anyone but I have completed one on behalf of my 11 year old daughter and sure enough it confirms what I suspect. However, I find a lot of the questions would indicate I am also AS positive (which would answer a lot of things).

Oh, welcome Stephanie (from a newby)

"Now the question on every lips is this ....... are you single?"

Yes, I'm single, but can't say I'm really looking...at least right now.

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

I don't know how acurate they are, but like you said they are only there to be guidelines. So if you do suspect that you or your daughter may have it, try researching the subject of asperger's some more(if you haven't already) and if you really think it sounds like you than maybe you should look into trying to get tested.

I have an obsessive interests involving Evolutionary Biology, Human Physiology, and Phylogenetics as it applies to the Hominina sub tribe. Primarily Australopithecus Afarensis, an evolutionary ancestor of modern man... I could go on

What is your obsessive interests, wakingup... if you have one.
