Hi there, I just joined this forum and hope to meet others with aspergers who I can relate to and possibly learn more in the process.

Hey, my name's Conner. I guess I'll introduce myself a little bit. I'm a 20 year old aspie from Iowa. I'm kind of an odd case, didn't get diagnosed until I was 18. Made grade school that much worse I guess, no support at all really. Led to a lot of misunderstandings and resentment. I've moved on from that part of my life though and am generally optimistic on my future. Brave new world. I also have some severe anxiety that I'm beginning to make strides in tearing down and the occasional bout of crippling depression. Anyways I'm kinda an alternative/progressive rock/metal fanatic and a Tolkien geek. I'm also really into Attack on Titan.

I figure its time I actually get to know others like me so here I am.
