My name is Bryan and I'm in my 20's and I live in the US. I was diagnosed with Asperger's last year. I'd say I'm pretty functional in that I consider myself successful in the workplace, and I have _some_ friends, although none are very close. I like being around people, as long as the interactions take place with well-defined rules, and as long as I get enough time to myself to decompress. I found this forum through a book I'm reading on Asperger's and I decided that I want to meet others like me. I'm hoping that I can make friends on this forum, and also understand more about myself in the process.
