Hi all,
I've been reading a lot on this website lately, and with my upcoming assessment looming I thought I'd say hello. I am a 24 year old female. I've been in and out of mental health establishments without a clear answer to my issues for some years now. The penny dropped in January when someone mention Asperger's to me. I think I may have it. It's scary to me, but also a 'hallelujah' moment to realise that there could be a good explanation for the way I am. I have been referred for formal assessment which should be 6-8 weeks time. 
I have been diagnosed with panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and in my teenage years I went through an episode of psychosis thought to be caused by being bullied.
I daydream excessively and this is what drove me to go back to my GP. I have created an immensely detailed 'other world' in my head where I talk to people and experiment with social interaction.
I am intensely passionate about animals (they are my one true love!). I write a lot. When I want to learn about a subject it becomes somewhat obsessive, to the extent I will spend most of my waking hours researching it.
Despite my anxiety I think I put on a good 'act'. I think this leads people to believe I am competent. They probably think I have lots of friends - I have none.
I may or may not be an 'aspie', but I guess I'll soon find out.
Either way, it's great to 'meet' you all
