Hey all. I'm a newbie to this site, but even reading through a few of the comments on these forums, I think I'll really like taking part in this site.
I've always felt kind of seperated from the outside world. The things I was interested in or wanted to talk about were considered boring or strange by others, and I considered the stuff they talked about to be boring as well. For instance, while I want to talk about computers, the rest of the guys in my family enjoy talking about sports, mainly Hockey.
This site seems like a place where I'll be able to just post whatever I feel like posting (in general discussion of course if it is off-topic 
) and no one will judge me based on my interests, or how I'm feeling that day. I think this is a great site and tool from what I have seen so far, and I am pleased that someone took the time to set up something like this.
So, to begin with, I've never been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome that I know of. However, I have obviously realized that I was different from pretty much everyone else I knew. I began doing a lot of research into the subject, before deciding that I simply must have Asperger's syndrome (I fit the symptoms to a tee). I looked into many other things (including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia (sic?)) before arriving at this conclusion.
I put in my profile that I am a student, and that is sort of half true. I know I am clearly capable of completing high school, but what should have taken me a year to do has now taken me 2 and counting. I dropped out, because my interests didn't jive with what the school's felt I should be taught, and now I have been doing online school working towards my high school diploma...I drop a lot of classes though.
Anyways, I've always been told that while I am quiet in person, I will ramble on and on until I drive people nuts if you put me behind a keyboard, so I'm just going to shut up now Just thought I would introduce myself, but I don't want to make everyone read a novel.

hi remcgregor. i'm kim welcome to WP.
I looked into schizophrenia, too, but I was told that if I had schizophrenia I wouldn't know it.
online school still counts. its probably, harder though, because you cannot ask for help or directions.

Welcome to WP!
I'm notorious for novels, so don't worry about it! We all will do that here from time to time.

Yeah man, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I was diagnosed with ADD a couple years ago, but after much research, I found that almost all of my symptoms matched the symptoms of AS.
