Hi guys. I found out about this place from doing alot of research on autism after I found out what I am. I found out what I am quite by accident. I was going to see a doctor as to why I have insomnia, when I told a friend about this(she's a psychologist, I helped her get her doctorate when I was in college.)she said I had traits of autism. Rain Man was the only point of reference I had about autism, so calling her crazy was the first words out my mouth. After alot of research and her help, I got an official unofficial diagnosis(I'm paranoid of having anything down on paper about this.)I've always known I'm different from everyone, especially when I was developing personality algorithms in my head in 3rd grade. This just helps me understand my lot in life much better than I ever have before. I just always thought I was anti-social, and everybody else was in the wrong. Recent events have given me a pretty good understanding of the human race as a whole now. As for location, I am located in Louisiana, USA. Growing up autistic in this place is a pretty tough thing, but that's a whole other story.

Oh man! You know what's tough? Not getting a diagnosis all throughout school, going up to Minnesota, having a friend notice traits in you, and finally being able to get tested after returning to this state, and then it takes FOREVER!

Louisiana is full of bumbling incompetents and under-trained staff. They labeled me "gifted" when I was in third grade, but that was it. They didn't notice anything, not even when I was in the gifted program, about how I liked doing things my own way.

I need to leave Louisiana, and it is a cesspool of stupidity, and yet, I need to stay as that's where my family is.
