I just recently learned about asperger's and it describes me completely. I also took all the scientific tests that I found links for in another section of these forums - all positive. It fits my adult son also.
I've always felt different...defective. I have been seen by others as odd, naive, inappropriate and unsociable. I've grown accustomed to a certain degree of loneliness, but I really wish that I could get better with people (at 54 it doesn't seem likely though). I've tried counseling and various meds with little long term benefit. Although I can write proficiently about factual subjects, describing myself in words is very difficult for me to do. I struggle with a great deal of anxiety and fear of rejection. I am also an abuse survivor.
Learning about asperger's has been very enlightening and seems to help with my feelings of shame and self-loathing. I've been reading these forums for several days now and decided to register and introduce myself here. Thank you to its founder! I'm glad I found this place!

Hello and welcome to WrongPlanet JupiterChild 
Almost everything you said describes me as well, including the abuse survivor part, and I am also glad I found this website.
See you around
