Hello everyone,
I am a new member, I am diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
I've never really done any research on my disability, I was diagnosed approx 5 Years ago, once I entered high school. I've been out of high school for, well, it will be a year in june, and in the past few months, I've really been struggling. I've never really had any friends, I've had people I've gotten along with, but I've always found myself distancing myself from them, and because of that, now that I'm outside of high school, the real social 'lapse' is hitting me. I find myself doing nothing but working, and being at home.
The reason I'm even writing this is because I've spent time, in the past few days, looking for forums that deal with people who have the same type of issues that I have. (please excuse any terms I may use that may be offensive, i.e. 'Issues') Like I stated earlier, I've been feeling quite lonley in these past few months, and have mainly been looking for a forum to discuss with other people, how to cope.

The irony of this is, I had quite a bit I wanted to say, but now that I'm writing it, I feel that I've gotten off on a tangent, and have completely lost my train of thought, So before I get any further off track, Id like to say hello, and I look forward to communicating with other people similar to myself. And, maybe one day, understanding aspergers.
