Hey you guys and gals. My name is Mel, I'm 22 and currently in College. I haven't been diagnosed with Aspergers or any other type of Autism but looking into things myself it seems to me that that is more than likely my issue. I guess I fit some of the steriotypes... Hard for me to make friends and even then I'd rather be alone? (I'd like my friend's to understand that it's not that I don't like them, I just don't feel social most times. Least, I think they understand.) I prefer going online and communicating this way, though I realize the computer is an unhealthy habit of mine. (Along with a bunch of other things.) I found this site through wikipedia.

Anyways, that's it for now. I am heading off to bed. Hope to chat with you all.

-M

Yeah, actually I've thought about Social Anxiety, too. Just reading on other "signs" of autism it sounded very much like myself. I know a lot of these things can bleed into one another and seem very alike which is why I do not claim to have autism. I wish to know more about it though and thus, I am here. Lol.

Thank you.
