Hello to everyone. I am a freshman (agewise) in college, and a sophomore in terms of credits. Recently, I found out that I had a mild form of Asperger's Symdrome, and, while the idea has been hard to accept in some ways, it also has been oddly liberating as it provides a means of understanding what I do, and of giving me a way that I can sort of change some of the things I don't like about myself that result from having Asperger's, while hopefully maintaining some of the characteristics that I like. I figured that I would join this forum as a way to interact with other people that have been touched in some way by Asperger's so that I could better understand myself. Anyway, I look forward to talking to all of you more in the future:)
