Hi, I'm Sophie, 24 years old, from France. (So please excuse my english)
I'm a web developer and I'm fond of Terry Pratchett (this explain my pseudo).

About a month ago, a friend talk to me about Asperger's Syndrome. She thought she have it and, because we have a lot in common she thought I maybe have it too.
So I have read a lot about it, and yes, I'm pretty sure I have it. By the way, where should I put questions about my self-diagnosis?

I feel so much better now that I know what's going on with me! And I'm so glad I'm not alone!

agnes_nitt: Welcome to WP! Hope you like it here.

As for your English: don't worry about it. That is to say, your English is not perfect but better than a lot of English people (I am not joking; I get bewildered laughter whenever I tell foreigners this!) so don't worry about it. ;)

Whereabouts are you from in France? I take it you're from la Métropole?

As for your self-diagnosis: the "General Autism Discussion" thread will suffice. :)

Hope to see you around. :)

Thanks for your welcoming messages.

Brandon : I don't know of what TV show you are talking about.

Maybe foreigners try harder to be sure to be understood?
But I doubt there is that much English people who don't know well their own language…

I'm not from Paris, I don't like big citys. I'm from Caen, in Basse Normandie like you, ChrisP!

I'm sure I'll find this forum great!

You'd be very surprised indeed. More than a few people are functionally illiterate here in the UK and that's even ignoring some Muslims.

I want to go to northern France!

Hope you enjoy it here.
