Hi, I'm new from Argentina

Hi! I'm new here. I'm 27 years old, female and i live in Argentina.

I got diagnosed a year and a half ago with aspergers syndrome. It all started with me struggling at work not being able to fit in, and as a result i got loaded with all the work while the others brown nosed the boss, no one ever talking to me, never being included in office parties, etc. I went through 5-6 psychologists, no one was really working for me, till i read about aspergers online, i felt very identified with it. I contacted the argentina asperger society, they connected me to a psychiatrist in the capital who diagnosed me, then referred to a therapist in my hometown to help me out. Turns out that therapist didn't work with adults so i ended up with another therapist. I tried therapy for 6 months, hated it completely! Then i just sort of had a breakdown, quit my job and therapy, now just taking some time off.

My interests are paper crafts, watching documentaries, reading fiction (sci fi), reading about aspies (books and blogs too), going out for walks and listening to podcasts, baking, discovering new music. I'm very interested in other aspies experiences and that's why i joined. I also feel very lonely.

Welcome to our planet; I have a feeling you're going to enjoy it here. We won't let you get too lonely!

I am also from the Southern hemisphere (S Africa) and among other things also enjoy researching Asperger/Autism spectrum, cooking / baking, writing my blog, listening to unusual music, reading and writing sci-fi, crosswords, anagrams and Scrabble.
