I usually go by Tank, but alas.

I'm a Dutch CG artist, with diagnosed Asperger's. Sadly, during the time I grew up, I sort of fell through the cracks of the mental health system. I'm currently fairly depressed, getting professional help(finally...) for both depression and Asperger's.

I'm not sure what I'm doing here, but so far, I've been mostly left to my own devices in figuring life out with this terrifyingly awesome brain -.-
Which could have gone better... so maybe asking advice from other spergs might be good idea :)

So, hi.

Welcome, Tank.

Glad to hear that you're getting some help. It seems that the "cracks in the mental health system" are very, very wide for many of us. Talking to other autistic folks in places like this has done me loads of good though, I hope you find the same.

Thank you for the welcome. Hopefully I'll learn a few things, whilst here.
