You'll have to forgive me, I never know what to write in introductions but here goes, anyway.

I'm Emma, 17, nearly 18 from the UK. Around a year ago, my 5 year old nephew was diagnosed with Asperger's. In order to try and help, especially since we were looking after my nephew regularly back then, me and my mum researched into and watched a lot of programs on Asperger's and Autism. Upon watching some recent programs, we discovered that I had some Autistic traits, struggling mostly with the social side of things.

Anyway, long and short of it is that I've got an appointment with my GP on Friday to see what she thinks.

Sorry for rambling!!

Best wishes from another newbie!

I have been here one day and already have started feeling like Aspergers is a gift and not a punishment.

So thank you to Wrong Planet and all its members!
