I'm Ashley,
I was diagnosed with Asperger's about a year ago. My dad and I had never even heard of the thing until my sister in Atlanta called, "OMG, dad, on the show I'm watching, they're interviewing one of the models and she sounds just like Ash!" So we looked into it, and I was shocked to see how well some of the "symptoms" dercribed me XD.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child because I was very hyper and I constantly zoned-out. Although I'm not too hyper anymore, I'm mostly quiet and I usually don't interact with people. I prefer to work alone rather than in groups for projects...
Talking feels weird for me, my voice is all mumbly, somewhat deep-sounding, and I get words mixed up when I'm nervous... it's awful, really, because there are times when I'm depressed that I just feel like I NEED to talk to other people but I can't bring myself to do it either because
A) I don't think it's worth it, B)I think that they won't listen, or C) that they might not understand or be shocked at what I say. (Or all of the above)
Anyway, that's my story... I'm glad that this site is really active and full of people that might go through the same things as I do. It's nice to meet all of you and I hope to make some friends here!
