Hi, my name is Maija (pronounced Maya, it's a Finnish name)
I have trouble with these kinds of things so I'm just going to try my best.
I have recently self-diagnosed myself with Asperger's. I have taken many tests on the internet and read many articles regarding Asperger's. I know these tests are not 100% accurate and what I should do is see a professional, but the thing is I'm terrified of the notion of seeing a doctor. I also don't think that it's necessary that I do. After extensivley researching the characteristics of a person with Asperger's and finding that I exibit most of these behaviours, I have come to the conclusion that this is most likely what I have. But, because I'm not a professional, I can never be completely certain. Nevertheless, I feel I can relate to a lot of the posts I've read on this website and I hope it will help me better understand myself and others with Asperger's.
I look foreward to exploring Wrong Planet and getting to know the people here who have found themselves in the same boat as myself.
