So I signed up here over a year ago when I was first diagnosed with Asperger's, but haven't been on much since. I'm just now beginning to accept that this is who I am, so I came back here for support and to make some friends :)


This is me!

My interests are:
Reading - I love classics and horror novels. My fav authors are Steinbeck & Stephen King.
Cooking - I love trying new dishes whenever I get the chance. Mexican food is my favorite!! :tongue:
Veganism - I've been vegan for about 6 months and I love it! Reading up on animal rights issues and food politics has become a passion of mine.

I'm Grace, by the way. I'm really happy to be here! c:

hi, grace,

welcome to WP.

I used to be a vegetarian, but I married a carnivore. at least, we don't eat red meat.

vegetarianism is healthier, better for the environment, more sustainable, and sure a lot nicer for the animals that don't get eaten.

don't forget to take your B12 and D.

Welcome to the forums, Grace! :D

Would you say your that diagnosis helped you understand differences that you sensed in yourself all along? Or did it come as a surprise?

The first time I heard of Asperger's, I pretty much thought "Hey, that's me!"
I've always been different and didn't know why, so it's nice to know there's a reason behind it.

Thanks for the welcome! :)
