Hello there!

Last summer, I caught the word 'Asperger's' used within an episode of Sherlock. Out of sheer curiosity, I did a little bit of research on the term, only to find that I related very heavily with the signifiers and diagnostic criteria. I was awestruck at just how accurately what I read intertwined with my personal experiences and seemed to explain away my feeling like an extra-terrestrial throughout most of my life.

Needless to say, autism and Asperger's syndrome has since become an intense special interest of mine and I am currently undergoing a series of appointments to try to obtain a diagnosis. Until recently, I've felt somewhat 'alone in the dark', so I look forward to meeting you all and perhaps increasing my understanding of what it is to be on the spectrum.

Cheers!

cheers, lecter. what kinds of things do you like to do.

Welcome!

A-thank-you, Willard!
I'm primarily into my music. Been playing drums, bass and guitar for approximately seven years (more recently a little bit of ukulele) and I'm studying music at university. I also have a cheeky fascination with psychology and 'abnormal psychology' (including the autism spectrum and personality disorders).
How about you, cathylynn?
