So...one thing you oughta know about myself is this is actually my SECOND time joining WrongPlanet. Hopefully that's not illegal. I joined for a little bit some years back (I honestly can't remember what my old screenname was and the email address I used was a college one that's expired by now) I was scared off by some very aggressive threads/posts from people who had different views from mine.
Well I guess you can say I came back here out of desperation. Times are tough for an Aspie in post-college life...especially when you have parents like mine who are still insistent that AS is a bunch of B.S. and that I can maintain the usual steps in my life (like getting a job and such) in the same manner that normal NT people do. My increased social phobia, depression, and poor people skills dont mean s**t to them.
So I've been coming around here alot for advice mostly. Time to time I keep constantly questioning my AS because despite AS being "geek syndrome", I feel like an outcast among geeks. They hate me half the time...and it usually turns out it's because I am a "cute" looking girl who is not interested in them but I've had past bad experiences with these so called geeks...too complicated to go into further. But all I can say is that college has messed up my mentality of the world more than it already was.
So yeah that's basically it. I'm not interested in human companionship so much as I am interested in confirmation and consolation that I really AM an aspie and that my quirks are not a bunch of B.S. So far, I feel relieved by the fact that much of my early life issues is relatable to a lot of things I've been reading on here. I can still be different and have AS and that means a lot cause I'm scared that I may have something even rarer than AS that may never get diagnosed. I want to get diagnosed for possibly having ADHD but I dont my parents would approve of it...for obvious reasons.
And yes...I love to rant as you can obviously tell
