Hey! 
I've never been diagnosed with Asperger's. I am very shy but friendly, and once the ice is broken I talk too much. Yet still, I often feel very alone when I am with my friends, being around more than two other people at once frustrates me to no end, and in elementary school I only had one friend at a time. I can be very shy, but in the first couple months of high school I forced myself to be as bubbly as possible so that I would not become a social recluse. I don't know when to stop talking, and I add it tons of extra details. I think I have Asperger's Syndrome- I scored 38 on the AQ test (normal being 16.4), and I highly doubt that I am autistic. I have learned to mimic the behaviours of others so that I can fit in with my age group...I have friends, but I have trouble understanding them. I don't have to mimic when it comes to my best friends though, who are all a year older than me (I'm 15 by the way). I think that I may have mild ADD...I'm looking into that as well...
My friends call me a nerd. I like to read my Science and History textbooks for fun...I love anything to do with Science and History, and I love to learn. I don't watch much TV besides the Simpsons. I also enjoy Latin and the study of Classical Civilizations. I like writing stories: creating characters mostly. I have four pets, all gerbils, two males and two females.
So yeah...Hi!
