Hi everyone, my name is Joe. I'm 20 and am currently a third year college student. I've been dealing with Asperger's with most of my life, along with Tourette's and major depression. I've been dealing with social problems and feeling lonely and whatnot, so I came here to find an outlet for them. Last semester at college I found myself being super depressed and isolating myself in my room. I'm hoping to make this next semester more productive socially. Thankfully I do have some good friends there, but I still find myself feeling a bit lonely there and sitting at home over the Summer. I also get uncomfortable and completely withdrawal when I'm in big social settings, especially when I'm by myself. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys!
