Hi, I'm Naya. I'm new, curious, and looking to learn more about ASD. I've done a lot of reflecting and research and I think I may be an Aspie. I'm diagnosed as Bipolar, but that does not account for a lot of my feelings, interactions and experiences. My therapist thinks seeking an diagnosis is a good idea based on our discussions and her personal observations. I've taken pretty much every quiz available online multiple times (going weeks or months between each round), and fallen into range for likely ASD every time. I've talked with other Aspies, asking about specific types of quirks that I recognize as odd or others have advised me of, and it seems like I have a lot in common with those I've talked to. I'm hoping that more discussion here will help me make more sense of things until I can afford the cost of seeing a specialist.

So yeah... Hi!

Hi and welcome! I'm a Doctor Who fan too! [At least, I'm assuming that your allonsy is a Doctor Who reference and that you're not necessarily French...] :D
