Hi all,

I'm here because I've been wondering a lot lately whether something like Asperger's might be the reason for my social difficulties. I'm not diagnosed and not sure if I'd even be interested in diagnosis, but I am looking for coping strategies and ways of understanding myself & the rest of the world. A lot of what I've read in the Articles section here has made a lot of sense to me.

I'm female, 32, and from the North of England, current obsessions Scandinavian folk music and maths/logic puzzles. I've had trouble knowing how to act in social situations since well before I started school, & though recently I've picked up quite a bit through courses at work, interacting with people is still something I need to work out by calculations or formulae. I'm also asexual & horribly uncoordinated, & I have a marked aversion to the modern insistence on showering/washing every day. What I most want out of life right now is to learn how to 'connect' & make friends with people without scaring them off in the process.

So, um, *waves*. Hello. This is me.

Hi Grimfaire! Nice to meet you.

I do have MSN, Comet. I probably won't add it to my profile until later, though, because I generally prefer to know more about places and people before I start chatting.
