Hey everyone. :D I uh. Really hate introductions so I apologize if this is choppy or something.

I'm Shannon, though on the internet I usually go as Eto. I'm seventeen, female, and live in Texas.

My mom approached me today and told me that she thought she'd found some sort of syndrome that sort of explained my behaviors (though the thought of her looking for syndromes and the like to try to "explain" me is a bit unnerving, to be honest) and she pointed me to Aspergers. Some things seem like they fit me very well, others not so much, so I'm remaining skeptical until I have a good run of research to decide. And, well, I thought that looking into forums where there are people diagnosed would help me learn about Aspergers and if it related to me.

I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, spending time online...typical introvert activities, I suppose. :P I spend a lot of time looking into personality typing (anyone heard of MBTI...?). And...yeah. I don't really know what else to say, other than I hope I enjoy my stay and can learn something.

Aww, silly mothers. My mom can be unusually perceptive in some cases and completely blind in others. Like the time when I was depressed for months and finally got myself out of it, and then a month later she decided I was depressed and needed to "fix" me... :P

Guess I'll just have to stick around and find out. ;) Thanks again for the welcome.

I'm an INTJ. Big surprise. And my results were very strongly INTJ.

Yeah, I thought that INTJ would probably be the majority on this forum. I'm actually an INFP.
