Hi,

I have no idea what to put here...

I presently have no diagnosis, but I fit the description of a girl with aspergers to a T.
I have been diagnosed with anorexia, anxiety, and depression in the past, some of which is still relevant for me, some of which is not.

My therapist [a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders, but did a lot of work with autistic children previous to that] mentioned aspergers to me, and a lot of it makes so much sense. I'm currently trying to figure out how to go about getting a diagnosis, and how to afford one [if i can]... any advice on which sub-forum to go to to ask about that would be great! I feel kind of lost here in terms of sorting out what goes where.

Other random things about me: I'm battling my way through an honours BA degree in international development, I love archaeology [mostly ancient languages and writing, but i like the *finding* and interpretation of the writings in particular], and I used to figure skate.

so yes. hello, and nice to meet you all :)

Hello :) I'm from Ontario too, nice to here from another (possible) Aspie Canadian. Though personally I'm HFA, not Aspergers (some people think there is no difference, but I'm of the belief there is)
