Hi, I'm new here, was given the link a few days ago after getting diagnosed with what I have been told is only mild Aspergers. Um if I understood properly it just means I'm not too far into the aspergers side of the spectrum? We've suspected for a few years now that I might have it as I showed a lot of the signs my cousin displayed who was diagnosed with AS when he was younger, but we never knew how to go about finding out. It's been a few months of tests and talking to the doctor, well I'm 20 weeks pregnant now and when this all started I wasn't even in a relationship (not that the relationship lasted long, I'm not the easiest person to live with :roll: ).
Anyway, I've been having a read around the forums still so much to read, but I thought I'd introduce myself :D
I'm 23, live in the UK, found out yesterday I'm having a baby boy so it's pretty much all I talk about at the moment, that and the fact he's only recently started kicking me properly which is exciting haha. I have three corn snakes, three chinese crested dogs, three ferrets and two cats. I'm a bit nutty about animals, not allowed in a petshop alone because I feel sorry for something, buy it and bring it home lol I enjoy anime, gaming, movies, books and computers.
I used to show dogs, but found the crowds uncomfortable, though it was an enjoyable day once i got over that.
Um not sure what else to say, better stop before i go into overdrive baby mode where i just talk and talk about the baby, the scan yseterday and it kicking me lol

Hi and Welcome Twi!
Congrats on the baby my dear!
I think you need to get another cat to even things up a bit! lol. Having three of everything else but only two cat's!
I love animals too. As well as gaming, anime, Movies, Computers and reading! lol. I read fantasy novels.
For a little while i used to show horses.... Well Shetland ponies actually! I found it very hard, Extremely embarrassing and i was forced into clothes that were humiliating! *Shudder* :? lol
Apart from that i too enjoyed it. Cos it was at the showgrounds and we pitched tents. Horses were everywhere! :D Luckily i didn't have a tent of my own and i ended up sharing one with nine girls! I was in a blissful state! lol. Don't worry, i'm not a pig. I was honourable with them!

I hope you have an enjoyable stay here on Wrong Planet!
Best of luck!

haha yeah we need to even out the cats! But my cat is 4 weeks pregnant and I'm hoping she has a nice tabby kitten to keep before I get her neutered so it'll all even out soon 8)
Shetland ponies are soooo cute, I used to help out at a farm a few years back, she had horses and sheep she used to show and breed, I'd go up there during lambing to see the lambs and when she'd get baby horses. SOOOOO CUTE!

I did the same but for work experience on a Shetland horse farm. They needed extra hands for foaling season. Man i got to watch so many beautiful foals get born. That was a truly amazing experience!

Heh heh! I think it's from the first one. I've got both Assassins creed one and two! Loved them both! Eat that Templars!! lol.
The only problem i had with that game was accidently jumping off tall buildings that i never intended jumping off of! Aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh SPLAT!! !! 8O :lol:

Did you complete all the puzzles? The ones that could only be gotten if you looked with eagle vision on certain buildings. Some of those puzzles were really tough. Some were morse code or shapes that worked with numbers. If you get into any trouble with them let me know. I really had to wrack my brain for some of those puzzles. The weird thing is that there is hidden messages as well in those puzzles. I worked some of them out. But they were so long and tiring that i didn't have the patience for all of them. They werent really a part of the game. I wonder why they were there?

I think I'm on like 15th one of those but I'm terrible at cheating with them and look it up online hahaha
I've been collecting all the treasure and feathers at the moment. I hate it when I'm happily running along the rooftops and they suddenly stop but you cant tell till you reach the edge and by then its too late and he's jumped and splatted on the floor haha!

Welcome to Wrong Planet! It's interesting the boat that you're in because you don't hear a lot about mom's-to be with Asperger syndrome.
