Hi, newbie here

Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone, well im new to all this writing about myself but i feel the need to get to know like minded people as this aspergers can be very isolating.

I only found out about aspergers a few months ago by accident whilst reading a news paper article. after reading the article my whole life seemed to flash before my eyes and my life suddenly made sense (if that makes sense?) so i decided to dig deeper and read up a whole load of information about it (I got rather obsessive about it and still am lol) so after all these years trying to figure out who i am and wondering why im such a freak, I finally feel less of a freak

I am yet to be diagnosed tho waiting to be referred and I will write about my ups and downs in the near future for those who are interested and hope I can help and make new friends

hello.
that sounds alot like my story! my life made sense since i learned i had autism and i researched and everything and got obessessed with it too.

welcome to WP. what kind of things do you like to do?

thanks for the welcome!

the kind of things I like to do? well im studying to be an engineer at the moment and i love learning the science and the maths behind it so id say that could be classed as a hobby? I like astronomy, anything gadget, watching sci-fi which helps me to switch my head off lol

So how about you guys, what are your interests and hobbies?

Hey there jimited.. Pretty much my story had no clue what aspergers was until like 6 months ago and then my whole life kinda made sense..

This is a great place and im glad you have found it. Welcome.

Hey BroodQueen.. thanks for the welcome, the whole life making sense seems to be a common thing, ive always felt different and abnormal but now coming on here i feel somewhat more normal than i have ever been in my whole life.

Hi OCD_Angle! Thanks for the welcome It says on your profile that your a mature student, so what is it your studying? I too am a mature student studying Engineering

When Carl Met George was what did it for me, I was like holy crap that little boy is me!

And so now my life makes sense, thanks to my 4 year old little girls love for Arthur, I think that she might be an Aspie too! I've been watching her close, hair twirling, plays by herself, watches the same shows over and over, parrots back what characters say, really really good at puzzles, hits her self in the head when frustrated, orders her toys by color size you name it. My wife doesn't believe me but she has a lot of the symptoms, fortunately my wife home-schools our kids so at least she wont be traumatized like many of us were as young'uns. I tell you what though my little girl is crazy smart.

Hello
