So... Hi. Uhm... I'm not good with these things.

Call me Bryce... Yeah. It's always weird, deciding which gender to go with when you're a transgender who hasn't even gotten approved for hormones yet. Can't - where I live you have to be 18. Just a few more months... and a whole lot of money later...

Anyway, I, over the years, slowly started to take notice that I was weird. Not the normal sense of weird, like... weirder than the standard weird. I had heard about Asperger's before, but I never really realized I've been through pretty much every single symptom that's ever been mentioned (save for two, maybe three). Not until a little while ago. Just days, literally. My mom might not have noticed - she died when I was 11, and all my symptoms got way more noticeable after that because it triggered depression. My dad probably didn't notice because he's a cranky old man who nearly always focuses on the bad things and blames everyone but himself as much as possible - except for lately. I showed him a page about teenagers with Asperger's and how the parent's feel about it, and I knew he could see the both of us in nearly everything mentioned. He's suddenly become surprisingly gentler and I no longer hate his guts. For now. He's my dad, it's bound to happen again, it's what parents do. :lol: I haven't been officially diagnosed, not enough money for a good therapist, but it's gone beyond obvious now.

I also have ADHD. My poor dog... I understand why she growls a bit before she comes when I call her. :lol: I drive her nuts with all my ins and outs.

Hmm. Where'd all that text come from? Anyway... hi.

Bryce, You might check to see if your area has a low income mental health clinic. They may be able to find out if you asperger, and help you get the help you need.
