Hi Everyone:

My name is Kate. I just joined today. I admit that I am a little apprehensive because I am so used to people not liking me. I am hoping that I can find some friends and support here with like-minded folks.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's this past winter after struggling my whole life with myriad of problems: being socially inept, bullying, anxiety, depression. When I got my diagnosis, I was relieved. For the first time ever, I truly believed that everything was going to be okay.

So, a bit about me:
I am 24 years old. I live in Ontario, Canada.
I like owls, elephants, reading, writing, geography, nature and my Golden Retriever.
I am really quiet and book-ish. I don't ever go out. I don't drink or party. I am extremely intellectual and take my academic pursuits very seriously. I obtained a 3.9 GPA in college. I like to learn facts about just about anything.

I joined this forum because I could use some friends/support network. My only real friends are my parents and my brother. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Kate

Hi! I could use some friends too. I don't have any outside my family...I get lonely. Never used to when I was younger. I never had much of any friends throughout my life. But I don't want anybody to feel bad for me because I hate pity parties or feeling sorry for myself.

Well anyway, welcome to the boards! I like to see new people join this website so we can all connect and feel less lonely.

And I love your name! Owls are awesome.

Law, actually. My true passion is geography but there that's not a very marketable major here.
