I just have one question: How much does a polar bear weigh?
Enough to break the ice. Bah-dum tss.
HA! Anyway... I've wanted to register here for a while but haven't until now. I don't have any kind of Dx although I have my share of difficulties. After reading a lot and taking some (supposedly) very accurate online tests, I'm fairly sure that I have Asperger's or something of that nature. This looks like a great place with relatively open-minded people. Life is very difficult lately, and I'm looking forward to ranting, rambling, blowing off steam, solving problems, discussing serious and interesting things and being ridiculous.
