Hi, i just found this site and really liked it. I've only recently (2years ago) been diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum disorder. I tried fighting the diagnoses, but every time i tried to research my way out of it.. the information i found described me to a letter.. it made far too much damn sense.. i'm beginning to accept it and try to learn more about it so i can help others how ever i can. It's lonely up here on the top.. my family hadn't really looked into mental health stuff until i happened.. i've struggled to help them to understand why i am how i am, or the difficulties i have each day, but luckily she's more patient than i am. I'm 23 and live in bloomington minnesota. After reading a few articles here i'm extremely excited to be a part of this community.
