My name is John, and I am from the UK. I have just joined this, and am just settling in. I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome when I was 4, but I didn't find out until I was 10. I'm 14 years old, and I'm just hanging around.

I'm at school now. And yes I'm getting bullied, in 7th grade I had learning support assistants and some in 8th grade as well. They are not there in my lessons now, but I'm always welcome to them and I can talk to them if I have a problem. I also have a mentor as well. What do you mean by high functioning?
