Why are you here? Self-diagnosed AS after having my 3 year old son evaluated.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Self diagnosed in the last 2 weeks, trying to figure out if a professional diagnosis is worth the time/effort/money

Favorite music: So much...Everything from Bach to Neon Trees traditional bluegrass to Flogging Molly to Shinedown to Pop Country

Books: So many things. My favorites from childhood have been Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Harry Potter, The Hobbit and Narnia. As an adult, I read less but still love Tolkien and CS Lewis. Bronte. Poe. Ann Rice. Homer.

TV shows/Movies: SOA (the violence is super triggering to me in the past 6 months though...long story), Justified, HIMYM, Deadwood, Supernatural, Smallville, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, LOTR, still Disney (I have kids so it's totally not weird, right?)

Luckily I have a 15 minute walk followed by a 60 minute drive to get home where I just sit in silence and talk to myself until I'm more myself when I get home

Plans for the future? Grad school to be a Nurse Practitioner. We're also shopping for a large bit of land to build on in the future

(hmm, 'the two dogs of childhood', what kind of story could that be a title for?)
