Hi, I am new to Wrong Planet. Just to give a brief intro about myself. I have never been diagnosed but am pretty darn sure I am Asperger's. I am 35, married and have a kid. I've lived a pretty normal life, I think, but a pretty rough one. I am just looking for support and people who are like me. I have just recently come to the realization that I am probably Asperger's after being diagnosed with high anxiety and depression and having taken antipsychotics, antianxiety, and depression pills for nearly 10 years. I have never been properly diagnosed with anything other than that I have a problem with social anxiety (fear of judgement) and depression. I never really felt like there was anything "wrong" with me in the sense that I look talk and feel like any other person but I always felt people giving me the "weird" eye. Now, I think I can see why. Just a couple weeks ago I started a blog to see if I would get any responses and to unwind from the stress of my struggle to be a contributing member of society. Since then I have been browsing the internet and watching videos about autism and High Functioning Autism (Asperger's). I have come to the conclusion that all of my problems and all of my gifts stem from this weird phenom. If you have any comments or suggestions, I welcome any (even if in the form of criticism). Thanks and I look forward to getting to know the aspie community a little better.
