Greetings from Sweden!

Hi everyone.

I am awful at introductions, but here's what you need to know for now (feel free to ask if you want more details): I'm a graduate student in the UK currently at home on a leave of absence/suspension to sort out my personal life. Went through a thorough neuropsychological investigation over the past year. In September, at age 29, I was formally diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (not ASD, which will probably be implemented in Sweden eventually, but for now the powers that be still use the AS category). Now I am 30 and trying to figure out what this means. Reading about AS has been like reading my own biography and I am both relieved and sad about this new knowledge. Relieved because it explains a lot of things that have caused me to question my sanity over the years. Sad because I feel like I could have spared myself a lot of misery if I had known earlier. But it is what it is, and I suppose registering on this board tells you that I am looking forward to learning more from this community and hopefully connecting with some of you as well.

Nice introduction...hi and welcome!

Thank you, Lostiehere!

I never know where to draw the line in order to give the sufficient amount of detail. Guess that comes with the territory...

Do you or anyone else have recommendations for interesting discussions to follow on here? I don't really know where to begin.

Welcome!
Maybe you can search for a topic that you are interested in and see if there are already threads about it. So you have a start where you can begin. Later you maybe find new threads or topics which are interesting for you.

Welcome!

Thanks for the advice. I actually found this board when I searched for medication information so I might check out some more of that and perhaps contribute myself since I just started a medication regimen this week.



Thank you (for the welcome and for providing this amazing site)!

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wrong Planet. : )

Definitely relate to Relieved and Sad thing! I thought Meyers-Briggs INTP/J thing was a revelation; boy was I in for a surprise. Haven't been around here enough to recommend anything.
