Hi, I'm Apx! The name is a short version of an old screen name I once used, a semi-Greek lettering of Aphrodite. So technically, when thinking, "oh, Apx, you're so awesome," or, "omg, Apx, fail!" it should probably sound like Aph?

I'm newly self-diagnosed, and not willing to share many basic facts online, as I don't really wanna be recognised. I feel pretty conspicuous just writing as much as I am. I'll probably get more comfortable with time, though. I'll mention that I'm obviously/hopefully female, currently seeing a psychologist to deal with this transition, and trying to figure out how to afford the specialist in my area, for dx and hopefully a lot of assistance and learning.

Anyway, I just love this board so much. Aside from answering a lot of my questions, and making me feel far less alone in this way of being, the people here make me laugh in ways that really delight and surprise me. It's really nice to find people that actually make me laugh! I feel like responding half the time just as "lmao". Even when talking about really serious topics, people are dropping in great observational humor or some kind of word play, and it's just so cool.. :)

I really hope I can meet more people like this in person some time, in my town, t'would be nice.

Heh, I totally do that in my head, Willard. I probably shouldn't have inflicted the same confusion on anyone else..

Thanks so much for taking the time to say hello, guys. :)
