Hello! I'm new here, although it feels oddly like home. I came to the realization that I have Aspergers after many years of therapy and self-contemplation. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist and therapist.

Name: Darkie (not really, but I like this better )

Age: 28

Currently living in San Diego, CA.

I'm painfully shy and feel very awkward in social situations, and have been battling depression.

I have the overwhelming feeling of "missing out on life" due to lack of social contact, although I still avoid socializing like the plague.

Childhood / family environment was narcissistic.

I'm recovering from a long, emotionally abusive relationship that ended recently.

When I'm pretending to be normal, I am a computer programmer.

Music has a huge effect on me. Melodies repeat constantly in my head, even in my dreams. I have been told I hum in my sleep.

I play the piano, keyboard, electric bass, and classical guitar. I used to play the french horn and clarinet. I used to play in an orchestra. I used to play in several bands.

Musical tastes: Gothic, industrial, trip-hop, classical. The most influential band for me would have to be Dead Can Dance.

TV Shows/Movies: I am a bit of an anime nut. I love Bleach, Soul Eater, Xxxholic, and many others.

Found this site through google after seeing aspergers mentioned on this site and not knowing what it was (apologies if the link doesn't display correctly; my rights are limited as a noob):

osocio[dot]org/message/provocative_ransom_notes_on_childhood_mental_illness

I am addicted to stumbleupon.

Nice to meet you all, looking forward to finding answers I have spent my whole life searching for.
