My name is Mike Russell, i was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome when i was eleven years of age.
I have been reading around this forum here and there for a few years now and thought it was about time i actually joined.
Its been a long journey to get where i am now, before i was diagnosed, i saw so many doctors (never saw the same doctor twice which didnt help as it wouldn't allow me to open up). it was only until my mother searched through the web to diagnose me and it was only till then when a doctor diagnosed me.
I came serverly depressed due to this as i found i couldn't communicate with people and nobody understood me. (more into it, but i won't go into it) however with the help from being in a mental hospital i had recovered from this and learn new skills and ways to cope with myself. with that and aging, i am ready to face this brutal world as it comes.
I have to thank the members on this site aswell as unknowingly you have helped me to express myself to other people for the right situation to get through life.
