Hello there!

I'm a 34 year old female who will be getting some neuropsych testing done soon and asperger's is on the list of possibilities. I've had several professionals mention this could be a possibility in the past and I have to say I agree with them. I have the typical problems with relationships and social situations, big time problems with executive functioning and I'm hypersensitive to most stimuli. Also throw in there depression and severe anxiety (under much better control thanks to a daily dose of Ativan).

I am currently on disability but never went into it thinking it was going to be permanent so I keep working on plans and revising plans with vocational rehab. I was more functional in the workplace before my depression and anxiety drove me out of several jobs. I live by myself with my kitty, Gabby, who was found on the side of hwy 169 around 3 years ago. I am sensitive to touch and Gabby somehow instinvtively knew I needed a lot of time before I could get used to kitty cuddles. I greatly enjoy her cuddles and don't think I would have if she was a cuddly kitty right away. I've had her since May.

I look forward to poking around and finding people like me
