I just signed up tonight and figured I would say hello and thank you.
I was diagnosed AS this summer while addressing some snowballing issues with depression. I was not aware of or familiar with Asperger's prior to my assessment, but since then I have been experiencing that feeling of 'hey thats me' when reading up on it and others' experiences.
Depression and anxiety issues have dogged me since childhood, but the diagnosis, and the stuff I've read from some of the members here, especially in the Haven, have helped me reduce that feeling of being alone and helpless. All my life I've felt like I was standing alone in a desert, but now I've turned around and realized many of you are out here in the desert with me, I wish I had turned around sooner. I figured I could at least sign up so that I could say hello and thank all of you.
