Hello. I'm Natalie. I have Asperger's Syndrome. Not terribly, but it used to be bad. I've gotten better over the years, but I feel for those who have it, especially when they have it badly. I know this guy who is really strange and is obsessed with video games, but he's extremely intelligent (a little annoying, but over time you get past that) and people don't really see that. They make fun of him. Two of my best friends has Asperger's. I just wish people were more aware of it and didn't treat those who have it like scum.
Asperger rant aside, I also have Dermatillomania, a form of OCD.
I'm 16, a violist (not terribly good, but I'm improving), an artist (kind of) and a cat-lover. I try to accept everyone of every race, religion, sexuality, etc., unless they're rude to me or someone else. I think that's it for now. :]

Greatings from a fellow cat-lover who also tries to be accepting. Like you I used to be much worse off than I am now.

Anyway before I start rambeling about myself... Welcome to WrongPlanet (and cool avatar by the way, although rather distracting)

Hey I play the fiddle too. I think I've sort of gotten better with mine too. I'm a whole lot less shy than I used to be. All I can do is try to be friendly to people yet accept the fact that I'm a little different. Welcome to WP.
