Thought I would just say hello, which seems to be the done thing.
I am English, female, and in my 40's. I'm an artist and a web content developer.

I had never heard of Aspergers until a year ago, when my daughter, who works as a care support worker for people with autism, rang me up and said she had been to a talk given by a woman whose daughter had Aspergers. "It made you make sense to me." she said!

So, reams of internet hours and research and taking the AS and EQ tests followed and I guess I agree with her. Aspergers makes me make sense to myself!

I had grown up being told, and thinking, that I was mad. So nice to discover that it might just be the way my brain in wired!
I am still waiting for a formal diagnosis, but getting one on the NHS seems to be an spectacularly difficult thing to do - Sisyphus had it easy in comparison.
Anyway Hi, hello, and thanks for being here folks, Wrong Planet is a place where I feel good about myself - and that is rare.

Welcome ! - Sounds like you found the right planet

Thanks! Love the avatar

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hello there. Welcome to WP! Hope you like it here!

Where are you from (in England I take it)? I'm glad that you feel comfortable here rather than the outside world. This is a - relative - safe haven for many.

Welkome to WP

Mick

Thank you for the welcomes.
Tequila, I live in the midlands (pretty much exactly in the middle!)
