Guess I posted in the wrong section before. sorry about that. lol
Hello there. You can call me "ET" I don't have a link to a blog that accurately describes me, so I briefly describe myself and why I am here.
I have been thoroughly researching Asperger's syndrome since I started exclusively dating a wonderful gentleman who has it. He is 26 and of African-American decent. We share a mutual interest in the area of Technology -- more specifically, website development.
As for myself, I was misdiagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was 17. I understand the symptoms on paper quite well because of that. Of course, it can be different from person to person. It turns out that I actually have a genetic disorder called the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. But regardless, I do have a very literal mindset, and I can relate well to Aspies.
My relationship should be somewhat of an indicator. Laughing We've been dating almost seven months at this point and he says he's never had a relationship that has lasted for more than 2 months.
All in all, I hope I can learn a thing or two from this site and from other people who have Asperger's. Regardless of my genetic disorder, I would still be labeled as neurotypical. I've never dated an Aspie before but I really like my boyfriend. I want to make this last. Hopefully fellow memembers of the Aspie community will be kind enough to help me.
