Hello Wrong Planet!
I understand it is customary (also simply seems like good manners) to introduce oneself before bombarding a community with questions and personal information, so here goes...

I can be verbose at the best of times, so to be concise I think the most pertinent way to introduce myself for the purposes of this forum is to say that I am very likely an Aspie, at least according to the latest incarnation of the Aspie Quiz.

I am an adult, just over halfway through my mid-twenties, and have only learned about Asperger's in any detail in the last year or so. Currently I am undiagnosed (I'll leave that for a separate discussion before I start to ramble/rant).

I have a great many questions for the community here. Being a Brit of Russian origin and on the high-functioning end of the spectrum (I think anyway), I am not sure how much use my experiences will be to the rest of you, but I will do my best to participate in a constructive, engaging and entertaining manner. I think we'll have a lot to talk about.

So yeah. Hi everyone! This is me :)

Thanks, guys! I tend to experience a lot of anxiety when contacting people, through any medium. Even in writing. So it's reassuring to have a warm welcome :)

I've never actually taken part in a forum before, in spite of the anonymity offered by the Internet. I was always more of a lurker before. However, I think I have a good feeling about this. Quite exciting in fact.
