Hello 
Before starting on the main body of this post, I feel that I should point out that english isn't my primary language.
Reading english isn't any problem, it's just that the words don't come as fluent as I would like.
That might mean malplaced words and/or grammatical errors.
Anyway, I've been diagnosed with asperger's in 2006.
At that moment I couldn't be happier, I knew about AS since my closest friend had told me about her asperger's a year before.
I was 20 when I first heard about AS and 21 when I was diagnosed, I had often wondered why everything seemed so difficult.
I'm not going to go into details about my past other than "it wasn't as enjoyable as I would've liked", but getting the diagnosis was a major turning point.
Suddenly I understood that I'm actually different,
I realized the answer to all those times I wondered "What's wrong with everybody else?", and later "What's wrong with ME?"
Since then, I feel as if I know myself a whole lot better. I feel proud being me, my way of thinking and what I can accomplish.
And.. um.. 
I don't really know what else to say at the moment.
24 years old, male, swedish, aspie. That should sum it up nicely
