Hi from ancient, crumbling Innsmouth (ok actually Gloucester) MA. I'm new to this forum and will probably lurk for a while as I find my way around, but wanted to say the obligatory hi to all first.

I'm a pretty old 'newbie'. Never formally diagnosed but have known I have Aspergers for 15 years or so. Didn't seem much point in getting diagnosis since - so then what? It's not like I could take a pill and anyway I wouldn't change it if I could. When younger had social difficulties, but slowly learned 'how to behave' over the years so can pass as NT except for my agnosia for faces. But I know I'm not NT. Dislike social interaction and am obsessive about whichever interest or hobby is at the forefront.

I am also asexual and found this site through AVEN which is a forum devoted to asexual issues. There are a lot of aspies there as well.

Looking forward to browsing around here!
