Hi people I'm new. My names Rich and I'm 22 some users may recognized the username from Aspergic which I stopped using because I noticed the sudden drop in activity. Anyhoo I was diagnosed in my childhood and I"m sure most of you can relate I had a hard time fitting in. I am an adult now and I can happily say that most of my aspieness is almost non-existent, I can meet new people, i go on nights out and i'm a bit more flexible in my routines. Though i think have come along way i still remain the black sheep of the family and i still come across as taking things to seriously. So yeah hi everyone and i'm glad to be on this well known forum.

Hello Rich! I am Jen, age 30. I have not been diagnosed and do not know if I can be as there is a strong chance I may have fragile-x syndrome and do have a marked learning disability. It is not as pronounced as it was in my childhood. I often wonder how deeply they take into account someones IQ scores when coming up with a diagnosis? I did okay in college except for math. I see numbers backwards, which is actually called dyscalculia. I was always allowed to have a tape recorder in all classes. Let's see....hmmm, I love music, it is my obsession as well as graphic arts. I like reading and I do socialize, but find myself taking things too literally...I tend to be a very deep thinking and I am quite sound sensitive, so it's hard for me to focus in on things because I am constantly listening. I love making rhythms in my head out of the noises I hear. I feel alone most of the time. I want a proper diagnosis so that I can learn proper skills to deal with everyday life. I have a very colorful past and have been labeled as many things by professions eventhough they never observed me enough and did not know of my obsessions that interfere with my life, and how change affects me more than it would a typical person. I often try extremely hard to deal with change and to fit in. Welcome to Wrong Planet. I too am hoping to make some new friends and become aquainted with people.
