Hi everyone! I've recently self-diagnosed myself with AS after seeing an interview with Daryl Hannah a couple of weeks ago. Though she didn't go into great detail of what AS is or her personal journey, something told me to look into it.

Up until the past year I never really looked at myself as being any different than the rest. No one had ever been honest with me about what they had seen in me. The love of my life has brought a lot of my quirkiness to my attention. What I thought was "normal" (a term I hate, as "normal" is merely a setting on a dryer), my Love told me was not. Through the past year he has honestly told me what he sees.

It's been quite a year of discovery and feeling "broken". Now, thanks to Daryl Hannah, I've done my research and viola! I now know why I am the way I am, I can educate myself and others interested. The best feeling is knowing there are many others similar to myself and I'm not alone. The ultimate reward is having the key to now have a successful life with the man I love. Before knowing I surely thought we were doomed. Now, I know there is work to be done for us both, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that we have the tools. We just have to pick them up and use them!

It's great to meet you and I look forward to learning more about what makes me tick and why.
