So, I've known about this forum for awhile now, but only just joined. I don't remember when precisely I was diagnosed with Aspergers. Sometime in middle school? I want to say around six grade? However, for a long time that didn't really mean much to me. It was just a bit of trivia, a fact, nothing else.

I want to say... it wasn't until after I graduated from high school? when I first learned the details about Aspergers. TVtropes was good for that. Suddenly a lot of things made a lot more sense. However, I never really interacted that much with other people with Aspergers. I've met a few on the internet here and there, but what it was like was never a pertinent topic, not like what I've heard about here.

Now though, I'm old enough to drink (though I don't drink) and a certain event on another site today resulted in me looking through the TVtropes notes on Aspergers again. Reading through it... It made me truly realize how much my Aspergers has influenced me, how those aspects of my personality lead to that certain event occurring and the cost of it. (Yes, yes, I know how overly melodramatic that all sounds.)

I saw the link to this site at the bottom of that TVtropes page. I've never really interacted with other people with Aspergers so I realized that I have no real frame of reference to truly know where I stand in relation to my Aspergers. This seems like the place to fix that.

So....

Hello.
