How it all started: This guy from work I was totally crushing on gave me his email address before he moved away. We emailed each other back and forth for a while. But, one day I finally got up the courage to type "Do you like me?" and send it. Well, the next day he replied telling me he didn't know and I was CRUSHED! But, I decided to ask him why. He replied saying he didn't know how he felt because he didn't know himself very well. And there I was thinking ,"How does someone not know themselves"? Even though in some weird way, it made total sense. He later explained that he had asperger's syndrome, a form of autisim. I was shocked, scared, and hurt. Most of the time when people hear the word autisim, they freak out. And I'm not going to lie. I did freak out for like 5 minutes. Then I thought, well why did I even like him in the first place? And I realized that it was because we acted the same, we got along well together, he got me and i got him when other people just sat around wondering what was wrong with the two of us. Long story short, I was determind to not give up on him and see just what I was getting myself into. So, I did some research and was shocked to find out that I was one too :)

So, here I am. BTW This website is constantly shocking me. I see one person post something and I think "Oh my gosh, that's how I feel exactly!" I'm so happy I found it!

Anyways, Thanks for looking!
