I just wanted to say hello from the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

I am a 29 year old guy with "Higher Functioning" Autism and just recently graduated from an undergraduate degree in Accounting which I studied online through the University of Southern Queensland externally while I was living in a much smaller city in the Northern part of Victoria.

Why the "Higher Functioning" Autism diagonsis might you ask, well I was diagonsed by the people at an Autism centre which was next to the a youth mental ward which I was staying for a while I was 14. Because I believe, since I did not learn to speak until I was 4, the people at that Autism centre gave me the "Higher functioning Autism" tag.

Also for several years I have suffered from depression and anxiety, which I have been recovering slowly from for the past three years or so. Although that period was I believe very formative for me, because I became a Christian during that period and I am now no longer the the extremely egocentric and selfish person I used to be. So my period of depression and huge changes in my life have meant I still trying to establishing some new hobbies. Although right now I have grativated towards reading books and doing taekwondo.

That is about all I want to say at the moment.

If you are wondering what my nickname by the way means Just Me in French, which I chose because justme was already taken.

Welcome the world's friendliest, most supportive forum, which is ironic since many of us are antisocial people who can barely take care of ourselves; but hey it works so well! Welcome!
