I'm new :)
I think I have AS, but have not been diagnosed.
I'm not really sure if I want to see someone about it, in all honesty. Are there treatments for it, or do they just give you information/support? I really can't be bothered with medication and I don't consider myself to have a real problem (sure, I'm slightly odd/eccentric, but I enjoy that about myself).

Fyi: I'm a student in the UK.

It's only a problem, if it's a problem.
You sound like you're doing just fine.

Glad to see you.

If it's not causing you any problems, don't see someone.

And there really isn't any medication for AS directly. You can get stuff for anxiety, depression etc. but those are also separate conditions.

There seem to be a lot of UK aspies around here.

What are you an unbeliever in?

One of my favourite book trilogies is The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: The Unbeliever. My name comes from there :)

Welcome to WrongPlanet, Unbeliever.

Hmm...didn't Thomas Covenant actually have Hansen's disease (aka leprosy)?
