| Welcome back Caity to the wrongplanet. I too have Asperger's, but just joined the site recently. When I was in college I worked in a department store through the holidays so I can relate to dealing with the public. Good luck in your future and hope you enjoy the website. |

| Hi musicman and welcome to the wrongplanet. I too have Asperger's. Even though I am a high school teacher (talented and gifted for the past 2 years, English the previous 19 years), most people know me for my music. I play keyboards, trombone, mountain dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, etc. What do you pl... |

| Hi Colin and welcome to the wrongplanet. Continue to do your research on Asperger's and if you still feel like it is you---then you may want to pursue a formal diagnosis. But that's entirely up to you. For me, I wanted to know. I was diagnosed with Asperger's and then began buying some books about i... |

| I have been there and experienced what you are going through. In school, I hated dances. At first I went because I thought I was supposed to. I usually ended up sitting on the bleachers alone, or standing near the wall waiting for the dance to be over. But since I was so uncomfortable/awkward, I qui... |

| Hi, I just found this message discussion and thought it was interesting. I didn't read through all 10 pages of the messages though. The original post wondered about Aspie authors. Here are the ones I have found through research---and they may all have been noted in later postings: Emily Dickinson, H... |

| Hi Zata and welcome to the wrongplanet. This is a good place to learn about others and how they deal with issues concerning the autistic spectrum. I was diagnosed with Asperger's. For me, I consider it a gift. I would not want to get rid of it. I love my narrow interests. I do have problems though--... |

| Hi Mribakov and welcome to the wrongplanet. This is definitely the right place to learn about AS. A diagnosis isn't something everyone wants, but I felt I wanted one---so I was recently diagnosed officially with AS---which was no surprise to me. I was never scared of anything to do with AS. If there... |

But you did mention a very important thing in one of your responses relating to how with time, you will feel better. Always remember that because it is true---"Time does heal."
