Hi guys,

I am Sarek from that little country by the North Sea.

I know I am 'different' but I am still trying to figure out how different. ADD combined is by far the most likely cause but there is always a little bit more to the way I am that just wont fit in there.

I have no idea whether or not that might be Aspergers. Thats what I am here to find out. There seem to be quite a few things here that I find myself relating to, but then again some that I don't.

If you could list some of those differences most of us here could probably tell you if you are.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful reactions. You make me feel so welcome here.

I can still remember the first time I ever posted on a forum. Hitting submit for that first time was such a scary moment.
Would I be ridiculed? Would I offend someone? Or worse yet, would I be completely ignored?

But all that is ancient history now.
