..post a hello thread

Im a 23 year old male from Dublin Ireland.
I havent actualy been diagnosed with AS
but I have scored pretty high on that test thingy
and have suffered the symptoms for a long time.
and I have a lot in common with some of the posters I have read here.

Not quite sure how to go about geting diagnosed or even if I would want to
It seems like a lot of effort and stress for a condition that cant(or shouldnt) be fixed
but maybe some poster here can tell me different.

I have had problems all my life dealing with people but I did manage to complete college and
get a decent job (altough I recently had an offical complaint from another staff member who thought I was being rude to her but thats another matter)

Ive had the usual relationship crap you hear from AS suffers but for the most time I try not to let it get me down to much.

In the past few weeks where ive come to the realisation that some of the things that made me feel weird, different or a freak over the years can be attributed to a relativly common condition many people suffer from and this has been a bit of a weight of my shoulders.

Glad to join this online community (even if spending more time on the internet is the last thing I need to improve social skills)
