Hey guys,

Well I've lurked on wrongplanet for several years now but never really got the courage to sign up for membership.
However I feel that it would be nice to meet people that have the same or similar condition to myself so I thought I'd sign up.
Well for now call me 'Ksim'. I'm 23 year old male from the UK. Was "diagnosed" with Asperger's back in 1996 (although there is debates on this).
Do struggle with OCD (although thats under control now) and pretty bad depression.

To be honest I've always felt very ashamed and embarrassed about the diagnosis. Not sure about others on here but when people discuss it,
I get intensely paranoid about it and embarrassed. I always try to ignore it and pretend I'm just a normal person. But deep down, due to the things
I've done and my own unique personality, I guess I could say I do have it somewhat. I have no issues with social interaction or understanding facial signs.
But I am quirky and pretty much a loner so maybe I am AS deep down...

Ah well, thought I'd finally join up and speak to people. Hope to meet with like minded folks and perhaps discover something of myself in the meantime.
Best Regards Ksim
