Hey everyone. My name is Tyler and although I'm new to this site, I'm no stranger to Asperger's.

That said, I'm 24 years old, I live on my own, I don't take medication anymore and I've done and am doing a lot of things with my life that I never would have considered I'd be able to do when I was diagnosed at age 8. But I'm not here to brag; I'm here because I want to be a part of the community, and I know how tough it is growing up and living with Asperger's. It's something you need to know that you're not going through alone and that knowledge sure would have helped me a lot.

So, I'm here to make some friends, to share some experience and to learn because I do still have a lot to learn. :)

Hi Tyler! Welcome to Wrong Planet! Check out the different forums and articles here. They are interesting and helpful. You are among friends here at WP.

Finding out I have Asperger's a few years ago was a big relief. I am in my early 50s now, but still remember the h--- I went through when I was growing up, before spectrum disorders were recognized. Finally knowing why I am different has helped me. Finding WP has helped, too, by providing me, a non social hermit type, with info and a social outlet that is geared towards people on the spectrum, and their families and friends.

I hope you like this site. I do! :D

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. I look forward to hanging around in a somewhat more troll-free (I hope) forum than I've been frequenting. It's hard to state eloquent ideas when people want to make a "that's what she said" joke about the Higgs-Boson which is kind of funny, but you don't want to encourage them.

The only way to beat a troll at his game is not to play, so there's that.

Speaking of games, I just lost the game. >_<
