Hi, all. I'm new, obviously. I don't really know what else to say here, so I'll ramble on for a minute.
I'm 26 years old, and currently reside in Delaware, USA. I was diagnosed as ADHD when I was 7, following a diagnosis my brother accrued just weeks prior to my own. He, having severe ADHD, they assumed that is what I best fit, as they noticed "oddities" about me. I even remember then, the doctor mentioning that I was closest to one with ADHD, but I had my own peculiar traits that weren't defined by ADHD.
About a year ago, I learned what Asperger Syndrome was. Honestly, it took me by surprise in just one article. My first epiphany. Here is this autistic "disorder" that perfectly described me, explained away most of my confounded confusion about people, and made me feel as if I really wasn't all that abnormal and unusual, for once. After that initial article, I became obsessed and researched nearly endlessly for a year afterwards. I didn't need to however, I was convinced with that one article. The thousands of other documents and books/research studies I've read have only made this more wondrous a discovery for me.
I'm more than willing to accept ASD as a diagnosis, and will soon be seeking a qualified professional... I've just felt that first, it's necessary that I say "hello" to everyone, and also to say thank you. For the last year, though you may not know me, I have actively read forum postings, checked out links and other things this community has shared within itself, and have even found comfort in a lot of what has been mentioned, for I feel familiarity for most of all situations described in each thread I've explored here. Thank you all, very much. I look forward to integrating into this aptly named "Wrong Planet." (By far, it's the only 'right' planet I've found!)
