Hey all. I'm an Aspie. I never knew this until about a year ago, when I started seeing a therapist for anxiety issues, who made the diagnosis. This was later confirmed by a colleague of hers, who ran extensive tests on me.

All my life I've had a wild imagination and a good ear for music, along with an ability to sing rather well. Unfortunately, I've always been the shy and awkward type around people. I'm so glad there's a place like this on the net, because I talk much better with my fingers than I've ever been able to with my mouth.

I'm currently living at home with my mom and sister (My father died back in 2006, very suddenly), and hope that the help I'm finally getting now will lead to me finally being able to really support myself.

I've heard many good things about this place, and hope I get to know you all very well.
