Hello, I keep commenting on way too many things so I thought I better formally introduce myself. I am in my mid 40's, I live in the southern half of Missouri (misery) and I was diagnosed years ago with Asperger's (confirmed correct two years ago when I was re-evaluated) The diagnosis did me very little good. I sometimes think "Odd with sensory issues" would be a better diagnosis. More explicit than autism. Nobody seems to understand the ASD diagnosis and I don't know how to explain. Other stuff about me, hmm... I make art, some of my heroes are Patty Smith and Harriet Tubman and Ralph Steadman, and Margaret Killgallen, I hike, camp, fly fish, and love my house plants, and Prairie State Park is the best state park. And I have a great SO who makes me tea every morning (and I was 40 when I met him and he was my first real boyfriend) Right now politics has me so nervous that I need a distraction and outlet and that's why I spend too much time here on WP. And the Zoloft isn't working. So, I'm sorry for occasional rants and useless comments and questions :D . Anyhoo, I have picked a bad time to introduce myself, I'm in a bit of a mood. So, something positive here. A question. Anyone else addicted to Pinterest?

Thanks for the welcome back and the other welcome back. It's funny that I am back in a way, I did join years ago but I haven't been at all active and had sorta forgotten WP until I was really stressed. It's good though to really participate if I can just quit arguing politics. I need a place to hear about other people's meltdowns. It does me a lot of good having a daily reminder that I'm not the only one with that problem.
