Hello, I'm new. My name is Sala, and I was diagnosed with Aspergers at the age of 15. I am now 26. I am a mother of a 6 year old daughter. I am completly untreated. No doctors, no shrinks, no meds. I didn't even know there was treatment until I read some posts on this forum.

I would like to say a word to the owners, or creaters or founders.

Wrong Planet says it ALL!! !! !! I literally have felt for as long as I coould remember that I didn't quite belong, or that perhaps I was born on the wrong planet or something.

My biggest challenge is understanding. I don't understand people, how they work. I don't even understand me. Very confused I am.

I finally decided to look around the web. I've never met another person with AS. I work in childcare (very difficult) and have met 2 children who "may" have it. But it's not the same.

I was so excited when I found this website, I registered before I even read a single post!

Thanks a lot for listening.

Sala

Hey Sala, you have come to the right place to challenge yourself to understand I actually did the samething as you.

Someone on YouTube has told me about how good the site was about expressing your autism and make new friends so I joined this site back in september and so far, i've been hooked on it for hours and hours and hours getting to understand other peoples problems and getting to know everyones differences and situations in life and its so interesting.

im ian and im 18, ive never actually told anyone my name on this before and I have high functioning autism which was diagnosed when i was 7 or 8 i can't quite remember exactly, my life has been a rollercoaster fighting battles to get where i'am now.

anyways make yourself feel welcome at WrongPlanet feel free to post and make yourself feel at home here
