Hi everybody! I've been lurking on this forum for a couple of years now, but never joined or posted anything because of some pretty bad social anxiety. But I thought I would be brave for once (and also I'm sleep deprived), so here I am, posting away!

A little bit about me if anyone's interested: I'm a 26 year old female from Sweden, formally diagnosed with aspergers in 2004 at the age of 11. Somewhat rusty at english, lol. I can't really socialize in real life, so I was hoping I'd have better luck here, or at the very least get some practice in. Anyway, it's nice to meet ya'll!

Welcome to WP. I have a grandson and daughter-in-law living in Stockholm, so I feel warmly towards Sweden and Swedes.

Hi, and CONGRATULATIONS on beating the social anxiety on this! I know that can be extremely difficult, or even impossible sometimes. But you made it possible this time and that will make it slightly easier next time. Go you! :D

Hi and welcome :) ! You've done well to post in spite of your anxiety. Good to have you with us. I'm looking forward to visiting Sweden one day. I made it to Norway last year and loved it in the February snow!
