Hey everybody, my name is Tyler. I have Aspergers and Tourettes. I found this site while I was browsing Wikipedia for info on Aspergers for a paper I'm writing for a class. I don't know why I'm even joining. I've always feared that if I surrounded myself with people like me that I might regress and lose control over myself. I've become pretty social over the past year or two simply because my fear of ending up like people who let Aspergers run their lives outweighs my fear of being social at all. I guess I'm joining because things haven't been too up for me recently and I'm hoping for something insightful to happen from my being here.

curious that i've been thinking the same for the past couple days, and i joined here a week ago. i never knew any aspie, and this is my first time contacting with some. but i guess i came to the conclusion that we can learn from both... we can learn a lot trying to be more social or to create more social emotional empathy outside and with other aspies as well. i've been learning a lot here to be honest and it has been very helpful. now it only depends on how you can manage all the information, like you do outside.
i'm gonna post now a proposal, a positive one i think. and i guess that this website as lots of potential for us to help ourselves. just being more positive and learn from where you find helpful and useful to learn. i have it diagnosed since some years ago, but never faced it before, always ignored that, and here i found very positive tips reading some articles and discussions. in fact, i became much more aware, awake and relaxed facing it and using some of what i learned here.
