This is an introductory post. I'm not too sure how to handle this, if I'm honest.

I'll try to moderate myself and post my reasons for being here without writing you a novel. (Hard stuff.)
Short story time:

I'm 24. Got diagnosed with a combo of Asperger's and ADD a couple months ago. (My understanding is that it's a common thing to have both.) Thrice by different professionals, who I think made a good call. I'm not really bothered by the new labels. Facts are facts.

Now this doesn't mean the conditions don't come with some...ehhh...challenges, (So politically correct, impressing myself.) so here I am as part of my ''therapy'.

Signing up reason I: I'm going to work on talking with other people. Well, to write in this case. My intention is to work on that kind of weakness so I can compromise with society and maybe be useful at some point. Call this a delusion of grandeur, but I think I will be able to help others grow and learn at some point. I'd like that. (Although my brain seems to disagree.)

Signing up reason II: I have been consumed by curiosity lately. I'm wondering what people like me are like, I guess. Been staying up thinking about that. Instinct would have me stay the heck away from a place like here, but whatever. Sometimes, you gotta face your anxieties. I'm being sent to a couple group sessions soon anyway, might as well get my head around being more social already!

There are other reasons but for the sake of being non-soporific, let me just say ''Hi!'' and that I hope we can exchange intelligent ideas later on. I am at the same time glad and terrified to be here, but let's see where that takes me

Cheers

PS: English is my second language (French is 1st), feel free to point out my written mistakes if you like. I'm always looking to improve.

Hey, welcome Some of your reasons for signing up sound like what mine were. This has been a great place for me and I've felt a lot better about myself and getting help for my problems on here.

Your English seems better than mine too lol and I'm English

Welcome.

Thanks for greeting me back, folks
