Hi! My name is Holly and while I haven't been officially diagnosed yet, I'm pretty sure that I have Asperger's. It was only yesterday (literally) that my mom brought up the idea with me, after she talked with our psychiatrist and my sister (who teaches an elementary school class of low functioning autistic children). When she suggested that I may have it, some things started clicking into place. I hate sudden, loud noises (balloon's popping, guns being fired, fireworks, etc.). When I get excited about going somewhere, that's basically all I'll talk about for days. I get obsessed with certain things (I don't usually stay obsessed with them, but when I am, I can go on and on and on about it). Sometimes, when I'm talking about something, I feel like I have to explain a lot about what I'm talking about, whether I truly need to or not. And, if I am honest, I tend to like to dominate conversations and want to talk only about what I've been doing or what's happening in my life (even if someone doesn't really need to know about it). There's probably more that could be mentioned, but I can't remember them right now. Thanks!
