| Very interesting and thought provoking, but I know what it implies. A person could have unrelated little symptoms here and there that just by coincidence are most/all the symptoms of one particular thing like Asperger's. I don't know if I am going to be off base here or not. But I will say it anyway... |

| Hi Chris. I don't know for sure what I have to offer to you, but I would like to communicate with you anyway. I am 44 years old and was recently diagnosed with Asperger's. My social skills are not good, and I have the intense interests so typical of Aspies. When I was diagnosed, I was told that sinc... |

| Hi SMARTIE and welcome to the wrongplanet. Since you have been a member for awhile I hope you have found the site useful so far. You mentioned being in denial when you learned of your diagnosis. I was actually relieved when I got my diagnosis. For me, I finally realized I wasn't alone in the world a... |

| Hi not a drop and welcome to the wrongplanet. I also enjoy poetry and studied a lot of it in college years ago. I was diagnosed with Asperger's not too long ago. But getting a diagnosis isn't for everyone. I just wanted to know. Anyway, enjoy the site. |

| Hi Nick and welcome to the wrongplanet. I know what you mean about feeling alone. Even when I am involved in some social gathering (which I do not like) I feel alone. I was just recently diagnosed with Asperger's, and this has a big difference in my life. I feel like after all these years, I finally... |

| Hi Matt and welcome to the wrongplanet. I have Asperger's too. A lot of people with it would rather act "normal," but I take pride in being me. I fit in enough with the world that I get by---like it sounds like you have too, but at the same time, people say I am eccentric. I know I am eccentric acco... |

| I have heard others talk about the negativity that can go along with having Asperger's. I may be very naive to this, but I haven't encountered it yet. The thing I get a lot of is, "You? Autistic? I don't believe that since you are a teacher and etc." It's like people expect autism to cause us to not... |
