Hello. I'm Leah and I'm a 16 year old female. I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's. I've been seeing a therapist for about two years because I've had problems interacting with people. I probably would have been diagnosed earlier, (and I don't know if I'm the only one on this) but when I was little, I thought everyone had felt the same way I did, so I never vocalized the problems I had. People always just thought I was a little weird, or a bit "off". I found this website and was pretty glad (and nervous about posting) because I don't really have any friends at school, but I do have some friends online, and I came here thinking I might be able to make some friends who share the same troubles I do. It's also nice to see I'm not alone on everything! Anyway, sorry about the lengthy explanation!
A little about me - I love science fiction; my favorite TV show is Doctor Who. I love astrophysics, but I plan on going into the FBI as a criminologist. I like criminology a lot because it puts facts to behaviors and makes the actions of people easier for me to comprehend. My IQ is 118. I love to read and write. I read 1,000 words per minute. I'm writing a book. I speak a lot of German (as I take it in school) and I'm trying to self-learn French and Italian. I adore the indie genre of music.

So, hello! :D

Leah, you sound like a very interesting young woman. I've studied languages at school and university, but my husband has self-learned the ones he speaks. It's such a gift to be able to read and understand movie dialogue in another language. Do you travel at all?

Welcome to the WrongPlanet!

You sound interesting! Good luck teaching yourself French and Italian--I've never had the discipline to teach myself a language; always needed a teacher.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions or anything!
