Hi, I've been a lurker on ASD/Asperger's Syndrome communities for quite some time, having always been suspicious that I possessed some autistic traits. After much deliberation I finally got myself assessed and it was confirmed about a week ago that I have ASD/AS. The diagnosis didn't surprise me, but I had never felt confident enough in myself prior in order to let myself post in these forums. I feel better about that now, so I'm going to break out of my shell a bit and say hello.

I'm a 28 year old nerdy girl who loves video games way too much! I love online games most, like MMO's and things. I enjoy playing online with others, as I find it my more comfortable method of communicating. I also love art of all kinds and drawing has always been a hobby. Outside of that I'm a crazy cat lady and I love computers.

I'm hoping talking to others like myself will help me grow more confident and not feel so isolated with my struggles. I look forward to meeting all of you! :D

Hi, welcome to WP!

Chatting is a lot easier for a most of us because you don't need the skill to read facial expressions or interpret the tone in someones voice. Emoticons for the win 8)

Thanks for the welcome guys!

As for communicating through text, I agree. So much less stress involved! :)

Welcome to WP

There are lots of gamers here and also a chance to relate to people with similar issues, so two for one.

Hey Lunami,

29F here who loves video games and art too, sounds like we might have some basic hobbies in common! Your avatar original art, or is that Ciel from Kuroshitsuji?

Anyways, welcome! I'm new too so feel free to PM if you ever want to talk.
