Hi
I`m a 12 (soon to be 13 in April) boy who lives in Norway.
I am suspected to be a Asperger and my Shrink agree, i aint diagnosed yet but i`m gonna see another shrink soon to get an second opinion. So i`m probobly gonna get the diagnose before the Summer vacation, i hope.
And i wondered if it`s anybody my age on this forum too?

I have been depressed for some time now, but things are starting to get easier and better to live after i started to see a shrink a couple a months ago.

Many in my class at school thinks i`m weird because i aint social at the degree that they are, and because i have, well, you can call it weird intrest`s like Photoshop and cars, they cant understand why i like cars for an example, and because my class mates dont share the same intrest`s as me i feel kind of an outsider.. but i like to be alone and by my self and do what i like.. i sit on my computer every day on Photoshop (you can call me a geek:p).

My goal for an occupation as an grown up would be a grapic designer and try to design a car, thats my dream.

I didnt hear or know anything about Asperger's and Autism before like a half a year ago, so it solved and answered alot of questions about why i am like this and so diffrent from the other kids in my class. This has made my day alot easier and things are starting to get better =)

Sorry for a long post and all that, but i felt like i had to get that of my chest and to actully tell aomebody about it, only about two in my class knows about Asperger's, but they dont really understad it.

If some of you can relate to this, tell me how you have had it and maybe give me some tips on how you have made things better:)

I`m Airbrushès (Daniel ..)father, and i`m very proved of him and having him as my child!

And being an aspie myself, we two connect and understand each other very well.

But I hope that he tru this site can find others with the same interest as him.
To communicate with. So if there is some kid out there, with cars, photo editing (Photoshop) and cars, that he can chat, communicate with, it would be great!

So if anyone knows someone that he can e-mail or chat with, he would appreciate it very much!

He is at length kind and patient, very bright and clever boy.

My very special kid!

Nice to meet you too!

I hope to see you around!

Thank You very much!

It was a blessing finding this site, nothing like this in Norway!

Hello Airbrush. Welcome to Wrong Planet. I joined this site yesterday but it's indeed obvious that it's an excellent site.

I know what you mean about being obsessed with Photoshop... when I was about your age, I had the same obsession. I'd just make about 30 graphics in one day. Just follow your obsession, and you won't regret it.

You're welcome!

I hope we talk more soon!

Welcome,

Photoshop and cars, how strange, I mostly use it for 1960s motorcycles. The more I use it the more I learn.

Photoshop, Publisher, 11 x 17 laserjet with duplexer, 24" roll photo printer, I sell books and prints worldwide.

I am more of an image restorer, there are some real artists here.

Your age group is well represented, if you include old people, like 14. Some are 12, I just turned 60.

Hello Eric and Airbrush,

This is great having two Norsk Aspies here!

I am also from Europe and live in Amsterdam, which is almost around the corner from where you are *smile*

Are you from Oslo?

Thanks everyone! My dad is from "trondheim", and i`m from "Bærum" just outside Oslo.. We currently live in Asker, about a half hour away from Oslo.
After i registered here i suddenly discvored that it`s many people that have Asperger's, and that makes me happie to know that i aint alone in the world, kinda feels that way anyway though..
But i`m really happy to be here, and i hope you to are happy to have me here to.
