Hi everyone,
I have been lurking around on this forum for almost four months, so I decided to create an account. Was diagnosed with Asperger at the age of nine, now as a student in my early twenties I'm starting to accept who I am, and I'm starting to accept and acknowledge my diagnosis. Only recently upon exploring autism literature, I discovered that autism is defining more of my personality than I would have ever thought before: my obsessive interests that did and do lead to extreme levels of proficiency and even a degree from university on my favourite topics, the way I move physically, eye contact, almost complete absence of social life (I only need very minimal amounts), the way I thrive on routine... very stereotypically aspie! Hoping to learn from the experience and advice of others, I look forward to many online conversations! (I guess most of the diagnosed population here on wrongplanet must be almost experts about asd because we're all living with the condition since birth).
I wish you all the best!

Postscript: not a native English speaker, so please assume oddities in writing being mistakes rather than a display of bad manners, arrogance etc.

Kind regards

JSBach

the way I move physically


Funnily enough, a friend of mine once pointed out to me that I have a unique way of moving and carrying myself. I never considered the possibility of it being another AS thing, though.

Anyway, welcome to WP. c:
