My name is Heidi and I'm a 31-year old university student from Finland. I have officially been diagnosed with asperger and add (plus a few mental health diagnosis), but I do have pretty strong ocd traits too, especially when I'm stressed. About my history...as a kid I was diagnosed with MBD. (minimal brain dysfunction, a diagnosis often used in Scandinavia in the 1980s but not used anymore. Means about the same thing as asperger and add) I was diagnosed with asperger's syndrome in 2001 and have been actively in the asperger world ever since. As a matter of fact, almost all my friends come from the asperger support groups and I have become a kind of asperger activist, often talking about asperger on lectures etc. My asperger family (my best friends and my girlfriend) are more important to me than my biological family, because they understand me better. My special interests vary, but right now the biggest one is Studio Ghibli (a japanese anime studio). My biggest dream is to one day go to Tokyo and visit the Studio Ghibli museum.

Welcome to WP Heidi80. Welcome to WP!

Whereabouts are you from in Finland? I very briefly visited Helsinki whilst on a trip to Tallinn.

Also, have you thought about looking through Flickr for photos inside the museum? You may strike lucky that way.
