Hello! I'm new here!

Hey everyone =]

I found this site through a newly made friend today.

Although, I do not have aspergers, I still felt I would come on here and... well... I don't know. I didn't think of a reason why I came here.

The only thing (That I know of) that I have been diagnosed with was Severe ADHD and that was when I was younger. I was never medicated for it and learned to control it over the years. However, it still gets the best of me from time to time but I've learned how to cope with it.

Sometimes, it's easy. Other times it's like trying to take a whale.

I talked with my new friend about Aspergers and other Autism related things and got to thinking about maybe changing the focus of my blog from Celiac Disease/IBS & Gluten Free dieting to a few blogs about those who have this ... uhh... I don't know the right word and since I'm new here, I don't want to hurt anyones feelings. So we'll worry about my blog idea later.

Anyways, I am 22 years old. Live in Montana with my girlfriend. I like video games, cycling, blogging. I'm currently trying to teach myself basic HTML in my spare time when I'm not looking for a job. But most of the time, I think about how I should be studying HTML like right now, but instead I'm doing other things xD

So Next poster.

Tell me who you are, what you like to do and what you were diagnosed with

Hope you enjoy your stay here

hi! I just heard about Aspergers Syndrome the other day but you can be sure that I am going to talk to My doctor about it because I have never seen such an exact description of my life. I heard the word in some dumb commercial that did not say what it was about, so I had to look up what it was they were talking about. Every artical I read was like reading about myself, as if someone asked me to write out a description of my strengths and weaknesses and experiences. It was incredible to find out that others see things the way I do and that I am not an alien on "the Wrong Planet"! !! I was diagnosed years ago as bipolar but that did not exactly fit what I was experiencing, like the fact that I am not often depressed just kind of lost and lonely and did not know how to act right. The manic part is when I get "into" something, it can be all consuming and some times interfere with sleep and family and school. In fact I've nearly alienated all of my neighbors because I've said something or acted wrong. I am so glad I found all of these resources I feel like there is hope and that I can get some help to live a fuller life!

Welcome to you also, langers

=o Are you hitching a ride in my thread? Le Gasp! Nah, I don't care xD

I had to do some research on my disability as well. I never did understand the full extent of it til my girlfriend looked it up and told me to come over to her laptop and I looked at all the symptoms and was like "Holy smokes... is someone stalking me?!"

Even though I could easily qualify for many state services because of it(I was diagnosed officially of Severe ADHD at age of 4 in Oregon), I feel like I should be a contributing member of society and there are other people out there that need the services more. Even though I've never taken medication for my ADHD, I know people who have. But I feel like the more I try grasp it and try to keep it down during times where it'd be inappropriate to just kind of... well... be me... in certain situations. Such as interacting with customers or people who aren't familiar to me. Sometimes I annoy my girlfriend so bad, but she knows that sometimes I just can't help it and need to let all the extra energy out xD

@Ten:

Hi there TenPence. Resident Strangeling? If I were to ask around the site, would they "Yep, that TenPence person is a strange fellow."

Also, *looks at your display pic* I think I may like you. I like the orange safety cones and always get the urge to take one when I'm near them. But a cop always goes past me when I think about it and then I realize it's probably for the best I don't take one ._.

I kind of like it here so far, but it's new to me, so I'm unsure of it still. I want to make it a normal part of my internet routine to visit but not stay here as much as I do on Facebook. My facebook habit is possibly unhealthy.

TenPence is my favorite conehead.

I believe you now TenPence!
