Hi! I came across this forum last night and spent majority of last night just browsing around. I was honestly shocked at the amount of people here! I am very excited. I'm full of questions, and I will post them all with time, but I just have to say it is great to find a place where I can socialize with others on the spectrum. I have a handful of friends who are AS (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) and I truly feel we have a different kind of connection than a friendship with an NT. I guess I should stop rambling and introduce myself.
My name is Jen, and I am 24. I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS before my first birthday, and life has been full of obstacles ever since. I feel as if life really is one big puzzle for me most of the time, but I also feel that I learn so much more each day. I don't know where on the spectrum I fall these days, because I haven't had any evaluation since I was still a kid (the more I read about Aspergers, the more I feel it's a fitting label if I have to wear one.), but I'd love to observe and learn from all the aspies here, to maybe see where I fit in better.
I'm not in, and I haven't attended college but I would like to someday. For now, I just work and I really enjoy my job. When I feel more comfortable here, I will share more about that. 
When I'm not working, some of my many interests are computers (graphic design, fixing/troubleshooting errors, the internet in general, wikipedia, games, social networking etc.), fixing things, walking, writing, music...and lots of it, video games, board games, art, movies, tv and people.
I can't wait to get to know everyone!
