Quit poking me!
Yeah, so I thought I should introduce myself. I was apparently diagnosed when I was 8, but I wasn't told until about 6 months ago (I'm now 22). I don't think it was because my parents were in any sort of denial, but I think they thought it'd be better for me to not put myself in a possibly stereotyped group and not be able to find my way past the stereotype. By which I'm not trying to say anything else about how anyone else deals with it, it's just the method that I've grown up with. Also, I think it was probably the wrong time at school for me to be thinking like this.
To a large extent I agree with them, but it would have been nice to know that a lot of the weird methods of thinking and senses were due to this, and I wasn't just weird/wrong... Mind you, I have a real thing now about breaking the shackles of what people expect of me, and constantly trying to improve myself as a person... not that it's always working.
Anyway, I thought I'd like to find and socialise with other people in something of the same situation, so here I am...
Oh, yeah. Hello.
