Greetings and salivations, my fellow Wrong Planetarians!

Been a rather interesting journey to this point. I have recently been diagnosed with Asperger's, and am still trying to figure out everything. In many ways it is a relief, but I do wish I had known about this earlier. I have always been different, never really fitting in at school, being vulnerable to a lot of people who use others. I also have had a lot of support from friends, who as far as I know are all NT. I hit a low point last year, culminating in a failed suicide attempt. Realizing I needed help I took advantage of my employer's employee assistance program, and that helped with the depression. I was also diagnosed with AS, which was very likely a major contributing factor to my depression. I still have low days, but they are getting fewer and farther in between. Lurking about these boards for awhile has also been a big help, so, thank you everyone!

Welcome to WrongPlanet!

It's good to see that things are picking up a little for you, hope it continues.

Welcome!

Welkome to WrongPlanet.

Hello. I wasn't diagnosed until later (19) and I spent many years with pent up anger because of it. It's best not to worry about the past, and get on with life.

Jellybean, that's what I've found out. It just hasn't been until the last few months though that I've really had the help and tools to get unstuck. At this point, I'm definitely looking up for the first time in a long time.

Oh, and bonus points to anyone who picks up where I liberated the thread title from.
