My name is Dawn and I am 27 years old. I realized earlier this year that I may have Aspergers and am looking deeper in order to know if I should pursue a diagnosis. I am married with two children, and have suspicions My husband may have Asperger's as well.

If there's anything else you would like to know, feel free to ask. Just be prepared for a candid response. :-)

Hi Dawn, welcome to WP! I hope you find some answers here. :)

Btw, love the username--are you a STAR TREK: TNG fan? 8)

How do you feel now that you suspect Asperger's? What do you hope to accomplish with a diagnosis?

I have been diagnosed with ADD, OCD, Anxiety disorder, and Bipolar disorder. I thought I just had amazingly bad luck. Since learning that I may be on the spectrum, it all makes more sense.

What do I hope to accomplish with a diagnosis? I'm not sure. I haven't decided whether I should pursue one, yet.

The only two I'm not fond of are DS9 and Enterprise.

Hey I'm new too.
I have been obsessively watching Star Trek lately (in airing order, using memory alpha to sort of categorize the whole experience)
Nearly at the end of TNG right now.

I LOVE Deep Space 9 though!

I do exactly that every couple of months. Drives my husband crazy. I even watch Enterprise and DS9 since they are part of the time line.

Obsessive? Nah... *shifty eyes*

I have only got as far as TNG S7 and DS9 S2 and I've been slowly going through them for about two years!

I only have TNG s 3, so you got to see things I haven't seen since I was about 8 years old. (My mom had the whole series on VH1 when I was growing up)
