I’m just diagnosed and not sure what that means and I’m loenely but I’ve never had any normal people as friends and I watched a utube talk on aspergers and the man said about this website was a place where people like me meet together. I’d like to meet some friends

Hello, Peta, great to have you here how are you doing?

Sorry to hear you feel that way. It definitely sounds like you are going through a rough time. I guess its those kinds of struggles so many of us here have faced and had to overcome.

Hi Peta,

First of all, wow. Good stuff. As in, takes a lot sometimes to do things like this, as in, just say hi and be open. I'm assuming of course, that's how it is for me. Took alot of push to just sign up and then I wanted to cancel it all and forget it..but I promised myself I would stick at it.

I was diagnosed with aspergers (just autism now isn't it?) And adult adhd so both together lol..of course..I thought at the time lol

Didn't really explain much, just sounded more formal than weirdo lol.

Anyway, I read an interesting quote from Carl Jung the other day...

" we must embrace our madness or become victims of it"...

And whoa!! ! Please excuse the word..madness..I don't use it as it sounds.. for me, I love that word..explains how I see everyone else called so called normal...I read it as to embrace who you are...all of it!! !

I guess I'm trying to say...you're not alone, you have so many friends..just haven't met them yet :))...I learnt how my brain is ticking over may in fact I suspect, be a gift. I'm hesitant to give that full credence as my self esteem has taken a bit over the years...the diagnosis was meant to explain all that...

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and welcome in my weird long way.

Have fun :)))

Hello, it's nice to meet you! You seem to be a fellow Disney fan :D

That is such a nice way of looking at things, and really stood out to me (I know it wasn't to me, so sorry for randomly quoting- but thank you for being so positive. :))

Welcome to WP!

Normal is a setting on a dryer.

We're more interesting here.

You should embrace all you are.

:)
