About 18 months ago I discovered Aspurgers on Wikipedia. I instantly knew I was reading about myself. I emersed myself in many things Aspie and it was amazing. I have always felt alien, wrong, out of place. The only person in this world who I related to at all was my wife. I then knew why that was, she was an alien too.
Our three year old daughter had been having some problems adjusting to various things in life and after watching her we knew she had Aspurgers. She was evaluated and the people who observed her were sure of it as well.
Now that my wife is diagnosed it just leaves me. A list of the reasons I feel that I am an aspie would be banal and just too long. I will say that I am very very hopeful that I will be diagnosed soon.
It must seem strange to be hoping to be autistic but I have always been an outsider and now I think I might belong somewhere. Maybe there are people who might understand and accept me. I have never been comfortable in real life but on-line I can sometimes function. I have joined many online communities but always I am unsure of how to act and do the wrong thing and just stop. It's just like real life.
I hope to be able to be an active member of this site and to, very hopefully, make some friends.
Now a little more about me. I love sci/fi and fantasy. I read both alot as well as the classics. I am a big movie snob...lol. I write poetry and short stories and I am writing a couple of books. I am also trying to become a writer for a local website. I like to build things and fix things and most recently am learning to fix cars. It will be mostly self taught like a lot of what i know how to do.
Ok I talked enough about myself for now.

Hi Chuck...welcome to WP
I have also joined other forums and like you, are unsure of what to say. On one forum on another site, I posted a thread about superficial teenagers and I got bullied online so I left that forum.
It may seem strange to people who don't understand you, to hear you say that you are hoping to be diagnosed. But if you have felt like an outsider for so long, and have possibly found a reason why...then there is no doubt you will be hoping it will be correct.
Anyway...hope you enjoy posting here.

Welcome to WP
I understand that you want to get the diagnose, I got mine in December last year and found a relief. Finally I understand why I am the way I am.. But it has also brought up a lot of questions and I have been thinking about almost everything that has been going on in my life and of course I think a lot about the future...
Sci fi and fantasy is good stuff
