New here.. nice to meet ya

Post Reply New Topic

Heey everyone just wanted to post a little about myself... I am undiagnosed but I had always wondered why I seemed so different than everyone else I knew and it made me very depressed. I never wanted to do anything and always felt awkward around people... even people I consider my good friends. I just never know how to act around them. Well I heard about Asperger's Syndrome from that show House M.D... it was barely even mentioned but I always get curious and look up the things they reference on there cause I like learning about it. Well when I researched that, I was literally shaking because almost everything I read described me perfectly... it was like I reading my life story. I hope to someday talk to a psychologist and see if I can get an official diagnosis. I just feel so better knowing that I might have a name for why I feel so different and out of place in the world.

Anyway... I just hope I can make some new friends on here that I can relate too. Anyone feel free to add me on messengers if you would like to chat. Hope to hear from you!

Soo pleased to meet you.

Welcome to WP!

My husband and 2 of my 3 sons have AS. We see a fantastic psychologist at an Autism/Asperger's specialist clinic in Brisbane, Australia.

Have fun on WP.

Nice to meet you, Ryft.

Hi and welcome to WP. The episode of House that mentions Asperger's is also the reason I had my sons assessed. I knew something was different about them and when I heard it on the show, I ran to the computer and looked it up. Turns out, I was right they have AS. Now it is my turn to decide if I want diagnosed or not.
I hope you like it here!

Yeah I kind of disappeared after barely even being here that long... but here is the story.

I started to get a little discouraged because I was not totally convinced I had Aspergers... until someone on this forum (don't know his name at the moment...) added me to messenger because of a post of mine he read. He does autism advocacy and is clincally diagnosed. I explained to him my situation and how I feel about certain things and he said that I sound like textbook Aspergers.. so I decided to go back into researching it. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child so I found sites comparing the two and showed them to my mother and asked her about my childhood. She was almost imediately convinced because it explained so much... I then read some old documents from schools and teachers from when I was younger. They pretty much state the symptoms of Aspergers and it's so clear to me now.

I am going to try to come back to the forums now that I feel like I belong here. I still hope to talk to a specialist and get an official diagnosis. I feel great relief from finally knowing why I have always felt different. Just want to say thanks to Scott for helping me realize this. Hope I am still welcome here and I look forward to meeting some of you and reading your stories and thoughts. Anyone feel free to add me to messengers to chat. So I guess... hello again! =)
