hey everybody, :bounce:

I'm recently dx as Aspergers. Actually, about 10 years ago, my cousin (who's a special education teacher) told my mom that I might have it. My mom is also a special ed teacher (specializing in AS disorders). My mom agrees, and, now, so does my medical doctor and my therapist :shrug: . I was looking online at Autism Speaks site, and got lost, and ended up on this one so I joined hoping to find people who I have things in common with that I cannot find off the net. Hopefully, I will find a place to belong.

Besides AS, I have been labeled as schizoaffective disorder (which I believe is truly anxiety and AS). Also, I have bulimia/binge eating disorder (tend more to eat than purge), and PTSD (caused by bulling and abuse). :?:

About me: I'm a 35 y/o female. During the day, I go to a program with people with psychological problems. I feel that my Aspergers is even there when I'm with them by social awkwardness, but I am outgoing and sweet enough to be liked by everybody even though I lack the emotional closeness that everybody else has with the other members. :joker:

How did I get my screen name? It's warm right now, and the guy on my tv said "expect more warm air." I hate spring/summer! I feel bad when it's warm (reverse SAD I think), and I feel bad with this label -- not that there's anything wrong with it. Come summer there are a lot of good things: beaches, no school, BBQs, and fun stuff like that. Hopefully, I will find accept this label because it isn't really a label -- it's really just an explanation of my behavior and thoughts that I had my whole life.
