Hi, my name is Nick, I'm 24, and I live in Long Island, NY. I recently stumbled upon WrongPlanet and found reading through posts by others with AS to be extremely cathartic. I've never, ever, really felt the sort of connection I feel here. I guess it's just nice to know there are others out there going through the exact same thing I am. As of right now I'm still undiagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I have AS. Over the past few years I've had numerous psychologists suggest that I might want to look into getting evaluated for AS. I am right now in the middle of a full psychological workup and I should know in the next few weeks what they think is wrong with me. I'm getting really sick of being in my own company ALL the time. It's not that people don't like me, I just usually don't want to have anything to do with them. My life is utterly empty. I get so jealous of how full some people's lives seem to be, but when I actually have friends and things going on I absolutely hate it and just want to be alone. I think I romanticize it all too much, but it would be nice to have a girlfriend and a few close friends again. I know all is not lost yet, and I'm young enough to change my life, but I also know that if I don't do something soon I will have wasted my whole life wanting for more.
