thanks for all those nice welcomes. im here because i've been on a personal quest. my daughter has autism and i feel i share a lot of the quirks of aspergers but im not sure if i actually have it. i was at tony attwoods site and used one of the links to go to aspergians then from there found this great site. as a child i had a developement delay in gross motor skills and still cant ride a bike or master anything with wheels. at school i found it very difficult to make friends and spent a lot of time on my own and was bullied a lot because i was different it was not because i didn't want to make friends though. i spent much of my childhood drawing and reading. my teachers said i needed to come out of my shell and also noted that i was a slow writer and that i spent too much time daydreaming. as a teenager i enjoyed collecting and i ended up with hardly any space for me in my room. it was pointed out to me recently that i hardly use facial expressions and that my voice is monotone i had not known that myself so i started my quest. i have asked my gp to refer me to find out if there is an answer to why i've always felt different. i am a very disorganised person and often anxious i've had two clinical depressions one aged 17 the other in my early twenties. my hobby at the moment is researching the life of salvador dali which im enjoying and boring my family with the details lol.
