Hey everyone!

I recently learned about Asperger's and have begun the first stages of getting a confirmed diagnosis. I've already taken several diagnostic tests, all of which overwhelmingly indicate that I am an Aspie. It's great to have found this group where people who are different aren't put down and made to feel totally out of place. But also to know there are people who see the world the same way I do. Personally, like so many Aspies I've talked to, I have no desire at all to become NT. Perhaps someday a cure will be found - for Neurotypicality!

I like extreme sports (hang gliding, skydiving, etc.), working out, movies, music, hanging out, math, science, computers, philosophy, history, and chatting (especially with people who may actually understand me). I also like cooking and make an awesome stir fry.

Welcome to WP. :)

I also like extreme sports, I recently went bungy jumping. For my 18th birthday I'm thinking of taking an AFF skydiving course, have you done that?

I hope you enjoy posting here.
