Hi, my name is Ari, and I'm new. I have had Asperger's traits since i was a small child, I have been diagnosed as ADD/Inattentive but I do not think that was the real issue at hand, and recently was diagnosed with AS at age 27. I have atrocious problems with communication (my boyfriend's friends, despite saying how much they like me will completely avoid me because I cannot communicate... I often get super-frustrated trying to get my point across in a conversation, I miss social cues, I get lost and have no idea when it's my turn to talk, etc.), I have horridly narrow interests, I hate hate hate being touched, I'm sort of noise sensitive (the EAS tones, sirens, certain growly death metal vocalists), I can't follow directions for anything, and a bunch of other things.
I also have alot of other issues - I am epileptic, learning disabled (dyscalculia), and I am dealing with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder as well as fibromyalgia. 
I'm a mommy to a three year old girl and I have a baby on the way due in October (we're hoping the new baby comes on Halloween!). I live with my boyfriend (who is also my caretaker) and my daughter.
Hmmm I don't really have any hobbies right now, they kind of went away when I was diagnosed with the fibromyalgia (it totally ruined my hand/eye coordination and cognitive functioning) but at one time I used to draw and write, do crochet, goof around with web design and play some video games. I'm also familiar with Japanese animation (anime), though I do not watch it much anymore. My interests are pretty much loud metal music (especially if it's European, Finnish, or extreme), scythes (I own one), grim reapers, and mythology (I was researching angels and demons at one point in time, fun stuff.).
I guess that's it... nice to meet you all.

Sounds as though your challenges haven't got you down though. You're staying active and on top of things.
Best wishes for you in everything
