Greetings all! I apparently became a member here 10 years ago, but it has been so long since I've posted or even been on this site that I may as well reintroduce myself.

I am 32 and was diagnosed as high functioning Asperger many years ago. I think for a very long time I have tried to suppress my Asperger's traits as people tend to treat me totally differently upon learning that I have any kind of disability. I never particularly liked being perceived differently than others but I am now trying to embrace my unfiltered self as much as possible.

I also would very much like to change my Avatar. I tried to but it wouldn't seem to let me. That picture is like a million years old, lol.

Welcome back. I tried to change my avatar, but I put in a new picture and pressed the correct buttons and nothing happened. When you find out, let me know. :lol:

Welcome back Neon Rabbit, I think its great you want to embrace your autistic traits, it's imo the most natural way to be well in yourself.
