Hi I'm nearly 22 now, and i am so glad i have found this site. I was only diagnosed in February this year and am only just starting to find things like this. From the name, you can tell i'm a girl. I live in West Sussex in England.Ionly know one other person with Asperger and only know that I've been walked all over by life constantly, struggled with what people thought were simple tasks and was bullied and hated throughout school and never understood why.

I love poetry, writing songs playing my guitar, singing and everything to do with history

Hello. Welcome to the site. I'm John.

I like history too. Ever check out Wikipedia? If you haven't and you do, you may become addicted.

Another Britbabe, eh? Good, good.

Hello violetdaisy. Welcome to WrongPlanet. I hope you like it on these boards.

HI. my brother plays guitar, too. he is really good but he plays at very bad times..

Do you write poetry?

hello, Welcome to WP!

Welcome!

Also somewhat Ironically, Wikipedia has a good entry on Asperger's Syndrome.

I was not offended at all by it, which is saying something (Not sure what it is mind you)

I do love writing poetry, I'm waiting to find out if my favourite poem is gonna get on the site or not.

The wilkipedia is brilliant, i only found it the other day, doing research for my college course.

I drive people who know me mad with my guitar playing, although i've gotta get new strings as one snapped last night.

I love writing music, i'm entirely self taught in guitar, i don't think i'm that good, but my friend wants me to record some of my songs, as she thinks they're good. I just write whats in my heart

welcome violetdaisy i had trouble all throughout school too, being bullied and hated, even by the teachers unfortunately it's quite a common experience for us with AS.

I try not to think about the bullying i received from nursery into school and college. If i let it affect me, they win, and that will never happen.

I live away from the area that i grew up, to get away from the harassment.

I want to take a History Degree, that i'm working towards now, and i have friends, i have a loving boyfriend who actually understands, as much as he can without being an aspie.

I do get fed up with people's misconceptions about me, particularly when people treat me different if they know, so i don't tell a whole lot of people. Being labelled disabled frustrates me, as when people find out its as if they're looking for your second head, or some physical sign of whats wrong.

I talk to another girl with Asperger online regularly, but i only know her and a friend'six year old brother who have Asperger. Being high functioning, and a woman, people have always just classed me as extra sensitive, which is why it took so long to get a diagnosis.

I hope to put a few of my poems up on this site in the future
