So I'm 18, from Texas (although I don't see why my location should matter, I just notice a lot of people put theirs down), and although I have no official diagnosis I can't help but wonder if I may have Asperger's. I fit the majority of symptoms so perfect, my mom and teachers have always had a suspicion. I'm no diagnosticion but just by reading the required minimum criteria for Aspergers I do meet it. One time when I was a little girl my aunt actually ran around telling people I was autistic, ticked my mom off haha.

I only came across the site as of last Wednesday. I decided to become an at least somewhat active member because I can relate to people on here. Most people that are aspies I can relate too, I see myself in them. I knew I'd get the best advice from people that KNOW what it is like to have asperger's and won't get some bull like "You don't have aspergers, I should know because my little cousin has it and screams at firetrucks!!"

So I'll leave it at that, I hope I'm welcome. I did spend some time contemplating as to what my thread topic should be named, in order for it to gain some attention and replies, but I just settled on something simple. Hopefully I can eventually even discuss my "symptoms" and gain some insight and advice on whether or not I should seek a diagnosis.

Hello cjthemadscientist. Welcome to WP! Hope you like it here.

Location is mostly used to discern where people are to other users. If you let people know where you are, you might well find something in common with them. Perhaps you might even want to meet up?
