Hey All!

My name is Ryan. About 4 months back I was diagnosed with Asperger's. Since then, a lot of stuff has started to make sense. I decided to give this place a try to connect with others among the spectrum. Sometimes it feels like I am the only one who feels the way I do about things. It can get quite lonely even with many people around! I have a fiance and 2 children, one being a newborn. For the most part, life is great. It is just the little differences that make it seem as if I got the wrong instruction manual to life.

Anyhoo, hi!

-Ryan

Hi Ryan, Welcome! Sounds like you have a lot of good things going for you in your life. How did your diagnosis come about?

Welcome! I can relate to what you say about feeling you're the only one who feels a certain way.

welcome, I can relate to feeling somewhat alienated from others and feeling like I'm on my own.
