Hello all! Just wanting to give a quick introduction to myself. I'm 27 years old and have been struggling with mental health issues my entire life. Been long suspecting ASD/ADHD since both run in my family and I exhibit many of the symptoms. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get an evaluation soon and see a professional just to make sure that I'm not completely crazy. Otherwise current interests includes things like game design/analysis, programming, The Simpsons (I must of watched seasons 1-17 episodes hundreds of times at this point), and Parks and Rec which I can watch over and over. Looking forward to talking to some like-minded folk here! Thanks for reading! ^_^

Hello - Have only been here a few days myself so not an expert but I think you will find people here with some of the same interests as you. Good luck getting assessed, for me my diagnosis has meant an end to thinking of myself as someone who is mentally ill after twenty years of thinking of myself that way. I no longer feel I'm supposed to be struggling to be cured.
