I am a nineteen-year-old, community college student. I have an unofficial diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome that I recieved a little less than a year ago. I recieved the unofficial diagnosis after withdrawing from my classes following a social anxiety triggered bout of agoraphobia. I decided I needed therapy before my whole life fell apart.

Autism is a bit of a scary word when you went your whole life thinking you were equipped with what everyone else was equipped with and just thought you were using it wrong. But, it comes as a relief, too. So much of my life makes sense.

I am hoping that being a member of wrongplanet will help me find sources of wisdom to help answer questions relating to Asperger's syndrome.
