I’m not very good at these sorts of posts. I have a tendency to just lurk, since it’s easier then coming out. But I’ll give it a try.

I’ll consider myself self-diagnosed for the moment. Every test I’ve taken says I’m either at the low end of what would be considered Aspergers or smack dab in the middle. I haven’t been tested for that yet, but I wonder if I do have ADD or if it’s just misdiagnosed. Sometimes I wonder of one or both of my parents are on the spectrum.

I have a very strong special interest in the form of my novel. If I feel comfortable sharing, I’ll post. It’s up to 238 pages right now. Been working on it for 6+ years now. Takes place in mid to late Victorian America. It's not a family friendly situation. And.....it still has holes in it where we're filling in certain scenes. But it's something I'm very proud of.

I work at a public school in their Intensive Service Program with a few students who are non-verbal low-functioning Autism. I’ve been called the “Autism Whisperer” simply because I can “read” these kids.

I’m currently in a relationship with a guy who is learning and tolerating my unique qualities. Been together 7 years now.

Um….don’t know what else to put in this. Hopefully I’ll become something more than just a lurker.

Aw, I don't have time to read that much! But I would read at least the first ten pages and give you feed-back if you wish.

Welcome to WP! I'm sure you will become more confident whether you have it or not as you spend more time here. Also, don't be afraid to post anything, most people here are a friendly bunch
