I found out recently through online study and retrospective insight that i have aspergers.
It is kind of relieving to known that there are people like me too, but far from having reduced empathy i have greater empathy for them.

This forum was an obvious place to investigate the concepts that are new to me, like accepting and using my nature as best I can, instead of trying to become normal.

Anyway this is my hello.

Just want to say hello and trust that you will feel comfortable being here with us. It's a very pleasant place to be. :)

It's just like being with any group or family. Sometimes everyone gets along other times they don't.

Enjoy.

Welcome home, JoshuaYoung!
Remember all the 'lost' walking off the mothership in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind?" It was like that for me, finding WP. We are finally home, here.

Ahhh...could the "eh" be a tip off that you're a Canuck? There's a few of us wandering around. 8) Welcome to WP. Jump in and join the fun. :)

Yeah! I am also a Canuck! I wish there were more of us! There isn't a single group for folks with ASD's in my area. It feels like I am the only aspie in all of Saskatchewan!! ! I'm sure that's not true, but that's how it feels some times..... :o

Welcome to Wrong Planet JoshuaYoung!! It is really nice here!! :D 8)
