Welcome! Hang around the forums. They are generally pretty informative.

Tried the chat room. There's just a bunch of mess going on over there. I thought, perhaps this would be an opportunity for me to meet others like myself and discuss Aspergery stuff.

LauraBell- Your name reminds me of Laura Bell Bundy. She played Amber von Tussel in the Broadway rendition of Hairspray, which is one of my favorite plays. I just thought you should know this.

Mine won't let me either but I think it's because mine is a piece of crap!

If you want to ask questions or for advice on general AS things, here's the right place but if you have anything specific to being a woman with AS try the woman's forum. I use both :)

I'd say this is the best forum for Aspergery stuff. There's also a women's issues one which is good for stuff that's specifically female Aspergery.

I found it very helpful just to browse what's already been posted.
The "You must be an Aspie if" post was a lot of fun. And you might check this one out too:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt112787.html

You'll need to know that AS,ASD,Aspie and Autie are common shortforms around here, all speaking of persons who fall into the spectrum of autistism.

NT stands for "neurotypical" or.. "standard"? people

Otherwise, any specific questions, post 'em.
