Hey there guys. I'm Brittney also known as Bit or Briya. Your choice. Um...I have pretty much come here at the end of my rope. I'm hoping I can find some kind of peace and friendship here with you all. So I guess I'll start telling about myself and hopefully I'm not long winded. :lol:

I'm a caring warm person who loves to have fun from time to time and at other times just like to be caved up in my room on my computer. I love a variety of things but just to name a few: dancing (love reacting and making up dances), anime (love Nanoha, Fruits Basket, Inuyasha, Shugo Chara etc.) cartoons (my favorite to date is Ben 10 for some odd reason 0.o) Singing, Writing (I've been writing since I was 11 and am still going strong) Eating (yeah baby! bring on the ramen!) and I am a huge cuddlebug and have to have a hug to go strong in my day. I know I have more but as time goes by and I get more friends here...you'll get to know me better.

Now on to the venting part...telling about my aspergers. I was diagnosed when I was about 13 going through life with other things like ADD and depression and of course it was only fitting to have aspergers on the list. I didn't do too well with any one of my condition especially my aspergers because I just wanted to be normal in my life. I didn't understand and to this day still don't understand why it was just me in my whole family that had to be different. Why I'm the only one that my family looks at wierdly. I am the person who is always to myself in my family...if not to myself, hanging out with the teenagers in my family or the kids. What they don't understand is that I can't strike up a conversation with the adults in my family even though, I'm about to be 24 myself. Its hard and awkward and even harder to explain why I do it.

It's gotten to the point where changes rule my life. Just even one bit of change in my well planned schedule is enough to send me throught the roof in anger or collasped on the ground in tears. I hope that I'm not the only one with that problem. Cause...that would suck. 8O Hehe. So after having my most recent meltdown today...I came here to find some kind of release and hopefully to find myself; accept myself and be proud of what I am. I am happy to be here and know this is a great step in my path.

So..that's it for now. I hope to talk to you guys soon!
Briya

Yeay! We have another gorgeous woman on WP! Welcome to you, I hope you stay :)

We accept your ADD, Depression, Melt Downs, the whole nine yards. We still love you and we are sooooo proud of you coming out like that. This IS a great step and you've already come a long way. Feeling "hard and awkward" sucks and we have felt like that and we would not wish it to our worst enemies. It is OK to collapse on the ground with tears, some of us do much more antisocial and embarrassing during melt downs.

And you are a WRITER? We are going to PAY YOU to post WP :)

Hey. Im new as well and I have a pretty ridiculous anime collection myself. All sorts of genres and types. If you have Aim It would be awesome discussing which shows you enjoy and such.

I know all too well that feeling of isolation as well. It took a very long time before I could make eye contact with my own relatives, much less talk to them about issues in my life. and its still hard. Not recognizing facial or body expressions is a pain in the rear. It would be so much easier if I could relate to people on my level.

Beleive me, I know EXACTLY where you are coming from about this stuff. I really do make a plan for everything, even stupidly mundane things like doing errands or even how to react to a phonecall. Sometimes it gets so bad all the analysis makes me suddenly develop a deep fear of something oging wrong and I skip out of the activity altoigether. This often times causes me to procrastinate, not because Im lazy, but because Im honestly scared to death of osmething out of the ordinary happening that I cant deal with. Sometimes I just have second thoughts...and third...and fourth...until I just end up doing osmething else entirely, and make excuses for why I didnt do what I originally wanted to do.

There are lots of people with ASDs who feel similarly to you. Looks like you found the right place. It can be hard to cope with sudden changes to routine; I've become good enough at it, but it's still not easy.

I can identify with this alot. As as kid I always hung out with my sister and her friends (I didn't trust kids in my own age group).

Hi and welcome in to join us!
I recognise also what you say in your introtext. I got diagnosed by 25 and before that I also felt like the big troublekid in the family. Things went so smootly with my brother while my parents always had to fuzz around with me. He loved to join in adult discussions while I was tired out emediately and wanted to escape. Im still like that, ooops 8O
