Hi! I just joined yesterday, but I only decided to post today haha - I guess I'll just quickly introduce myself. I'm a 16 year old girl, and I haven't actually been diagnosed with autism or asperger's, but I suspect that I might have asperger's (because my brother has middle-high functioning autism, and my mom keeps insisting that I show a lot of the symptoms). I enjoy reading and writing, and also playing computer games (skyrim, anyone?). Err yeah haha I don't really know what else to write here.

Oh yeah - the main purpose of me making an account here is to find out some more information about autism/asperger's and also see if anyone else has siblings with autism. That's all I guess. Thanks for reading!

Hey welcome to WP :)
I'm 16 too but my situation is opposite to yours, I think I have aspergers but my mum doesn't believe me.

hi, corsair,

none of my sisters are autisitic, but my dad probably was and my nephew is.

Welcome. I'm gathering information about autism/Asperger's myself. Some good sources I've come across are:

OASIS @ MAAP
Autism Research Centre (Cambridge, England)
Asperger's Association of New England

I'm new here and so can't post URLs/links yet. There are of course many others. Best wishes to you.
