Hi. I am 17 years old. I was diagnosed as having asperger when I was about 8-10, but until yesterday I did not know a place like this existed. I almost did not believe other asperger-people even existed. At least, not outside those statistics.

As always I’m at a loss about what to write in topics like this. I’m not quite as shy online as in real life, but I still find it difficult. It took me over forty minutes just to write this post. And also, this all is very new to me.

So anyway, hello all.

Welcome to the forum Tormod!!

I don't remember how long my first post took, but it was pretty long. That much longer to figure out if that was what I wanted to say.
