Oh boy, where to start? According to my internet test results, ( http://www.rdos.net/eng/quizpoly.php?p1 ... 8=19&p9=76 ) I am in the right place. Love the site name, by the way.

I'm not wonderful at this forum thing.

So far you all seem distressingly normal to me. Clearly I need to read further.

Okay, about me: I have never fit in, no matter how much I wanted to. I see people talking and laughing with friends, it's just so foriegn. Looks like fun, but just doesn't work for me. I've been a "social reject" all my life, I've gotten used to it but it still sucks. Socially, I'm pretty clueless but try to fake it. (Badly, usually.) I did reconize that some of my characteristics were kind of autistic, but know I'm not "traditionally" autistic. So, internet research led me to asperger's. And it fits, extremely well.

I haven't gotten around to going to a psychiatrist yet, they're so expensive. And what can they do? Nothing, it looks like. But I guess I'll get to one eventually.

If anybody would like to private message me (or whatever you call it), feel free. Maybe you can make me feel less freakish, compare experiences, whatever.

I told you I wan't good at forum posts.....

Aha! That's to be expected. We seem normal to you. The real world is what doesn't seem "normal" to you. A bad fit there, but a good fit here. Welcome.

Welcome zghost,

So you find the world's largest collection of aspies "normal."

Dont waste you money, there is no reason. The only known treatment is hanging out on WP.

Nothing will fix that other planet, but we have a plan.

Ahoy zghost, I'm Psykotto, or as I'm known here as Yog-Sothoth.
If I really had anything to say, here is where I would write it.

Had to have another shot at the new quiz, 169/30 this time...

PS zghost, you should have copied the whole thing, with its "img" tags. The above is:

Code:
[img]http://www.rdos.net/eng/quizpoly.php?p1=84&p2=32&p3=85&p4=96&p5=13&p6=5&p7=77&p8=5&p9=92[/img]

(you can edit them back in... just the "img" in square brackets at either end of the thing, with the "/" in the end tag. It's what you get if you hit the third button along the top of the edit box.

Oh. I knew I did something wrong. I'm not great at a lot of this.
