Hi everyone, just popping in to introduce myself.

I'm a 27 year-old male from Colorado, USA. I was (incorrectly) diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder when I was 13, and stopped taking medications for it when I was 17, after I had realized that it wasn't actually doing anything one way or the other. Since then I've kinda drifted through life knowing that I was just different from just about everyone I ever met. I don't think the same way as other people, I tend to take things literally, I have problems with social interaction, and I'm terribly uncomfortable making eye contact, but I just figured there was just something wrong with me. I've had times where I suddenly just go crazy for no obvious reasons, and my emotions seem to be different from those of 'normal' people.

Then a friend pointed me to WP about a month ago, and I've been lurking around gathering information and came to the conclusion that I'm an Aspie. I finally removed the last of my doubts about it recently and am very glad to have found people with whom I can relate. Now that I know a bit more about it, I am more familiar with my strengths and weaknesses, and hope to use it to my advantage and actually get a career going and move out of my parents' basement

I'm glad to be here, and to find out that there's not actually anything wrong with me.
