Hi, I'm Ana and I'm a teenager with Asperger's syndrome. (I had 13 out of 20, so it's Asperger but closer to 'neurotypicals'. I was diagnosed some months ago).
I recently turnt 17, but I consider I'm childish and a bit naive.
I'm from Spain, so English isn't my native language. Anyway, I'm willing to learn it :) :D ( it's become one of my few interests, but I don't express myself well. )

To be honest, I'm not very interesting, I think I've lost most of my hobbies (I'm going through anxiety, sadness or even depression...). I hope things will get better, I joined this community in an attemp to get in touch with some aspies, and to boost my mood...

I used to play videogames, watch anime, draw, write, imagine stories and play childish games when I was 14 or so. I was super joyous and smiley, now I'm the opposite...
I'd like to meet new people, but I've the fear of... getting overwhelmed. I struggle a bit in relationships (friendship), I need a break from socializing, and I need to be by myself from time to time.
So, sorry if I look distant at the start. And excuse my mispellings.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome to WP. I wonder if you're a bit overwhelmed; I lose my interest in many things when I'm that way. I wish you the best on feeling better.

Sorry, I'm a bit late... As you said, I was feeling overwhelmed...
Yes I suppose I feel this way. I struggle with the routine, days spend too fast to me.
Thank you so much for your help, this may give me a clue to take care of my mental health. I'm poor at organizing myself, so I forget about many things. And inside I've tiredness, I don't know what triggers that. I think there are many factors, like forcing myself to 'mask', or to put up with stressful situations...or not venting my feelings.
