Hello,

I'm not really sure on what to say. Until recently, more like two years ago, I had no idea that I was different from anyone else. But then my husband of the time said, "I think you have autism". Since then, my world has changed but definitely has changed for the better. Since then I have researched autism and discovered I am on the spectrum, with Asperger's. I discovered that everything about me is different, and why when I look back on my childhood, I really do fit the norm of an undiagnosed Asperger girl unable to understand social gestures and read people's faces. I am currently in the process of being diagnosed.

I am 21 years old and I am a junior college student for my third year now. I am unsure of what I want to do as a career still...
