I really hate introductions so I was going to avoid doing one but then I decided that might be rude so here goes.

People who chat on #asperger will know me already but for the rest I am a 37 year old female with autism (although my doctor often calls it Asperger's and I don't believe there is a difference).
I live in B.C. Canada with my dog, cat, fish and most importantly my computer.

Hmmmm? Where lie the controversy
between autism and Aspergers for you?

Can you explain this conflict of interest
symptom issue?

And welcome to wrongplanet!

Welcome aboard.

I dislike introducing myself as well, but I enjoy reading everyone else's introductions.

I am not sure what you mean by conflict of interest in this case. I was diagnosed as a child with autism. Most of my doctors these days prefer to say Asperger's because they want people to immediately understand some things about me they say. The reason I don't think it matters is that when experts look at people with both diagnoses who have acquired speech they are unable to tell who has what label. That makes it a meaningless distinction in my mind.

Hello and welcome
