Hi there! My name is Rachael and I am new to this site I was just diagnosed this last year (at age 22) with Aspergers. Its amazing how much sense it makes and knowing there are other people out there with similar experiences is an amazing realization. I live in Houston, Tx. and would LOVE to meet some Aspies in my area, but am totally psyched to meet many others online as well! I look forward to chatting with all of you!

P.S. -- I will probably be known on this forum as the one who abuses the use of smiley-faced emoticons :lol: hehe

Welcome to WP, Rachael!

It was similar to me. I mean, I've been diagnosed recently (actually I'm still "being diagnosed"), but discovering that I have Aspergers made me understand myself much better.
(And sometimes I abuse the use of the emoticons too )

Welcome to Wrong Planet, Rachael. I'm a little older, but I was also diagnosed quite recently, so can certainly identify there

Don't worry about the smilies, I like them too.... :mrgreen:
