Hello, I am unsure as to how I am supposed to start this, so I will simply state my purpose and any relevant info.

I am 16 and was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome around 3-4 years old. I am fairly adept at concealing my 'Condition' (Not sure how else to describe it, it does have its perks yet it also has some downsides) and am able to blend into the high school environment without anyone noticing any differences. I am, however, quite tired of concealing my 'True Self' and merely pretending to be someone I am not.

I found this site in a desperate attempt to find a way to communicate with those who share my 'Condition'. I have never actually met someone that has Asperger Syndrome and I am extremely curious to interact with people who have it. I look forward to hearing from anyone who has this 'Condition'.

Hi Outcast97, welcome, you are not an outcast here. I know what you mean by concealing your real self, it gets to be very draining. You don't have to do that here.

Hello sir, welcome to Wrong Planet!

It is definitely nice to not be the oddball for once, I hope you have a good time here as I have.
