I've been reading about autism spectrum disorders for a while now and even though I haven't been diagnosed yet, I'm almost sure that I have Asperger's Syndrome. I seem to have most of the symptoms for it.

So now that that's out of the way, let me introduce myself.
I'm 17, male, and have been going through some tough times in my life recently. My failure to understand who I was as an individual and what I was going to do with the problems I had made me want to end my life. I felt that if I didn't follow the impossible and overwhelming rules of society, then I would forever be an outcast. But ever since I discovered Asperger's Syndrome I was able to come to terms with myself. Knowing that I'm not alone in having these problems certainly makes me feel a whole lot better.

It's sad that I'll have to deal with this for the rest of my life, but I'm sure that I can overcome it. I hope that I can learn more about myself by getting to know all of you people.
