Hi there. I'm a girl in my late 20s DX with AS recently. I am a student in the U.S. I'm a hyperlexic, self-taught reader. I experience periods of depression/anxiety as well. I am often anxious (particularly in social situations) but I am usually depressed during the winter months. This has made it difficult to do well in school. I agree with Rudy Simone when she writes about how depression is an Aspergirl's worst enemy.

I'm a bit of a geek. I like Star Trek, Anime, learning languages, drawing, writing, and yoga. I like video games, but I have had to avoid them because I get so absorbed in playing that everything else is neglected.
