Hi there!
My name is Marcus. I have been recently diagnosed with Asperger's, after years of not knowing what gave me such a disconnect from the rest of the world. Mine is a mild case, and I still don't much about what it means to me and how I can manage it. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

it's a relieve to know that all your differences from the others have one simple explanation. i used to have low opinion about myself when failing in seemingly basic things others had no problem with. but having an explanation helps me not to feel that way, it helps to accept the way i am.

I had realized long ago that I was different then everyone else and always would be, and I had come to terms with that and embraced my "weirdness", but it was a great relief when I learned there were others out there like me.
