Well after living all of my life feeling like I was from another place and time, it is a enlightenment that takes my breath away. I was on the internet and happened upon a site from Arizona State that used a reverse presentation of AS behaviors (the clinical made no sense and I didnt align with the descriptions) all of the items in the catergories fit! I sat with my mouth open, then quickly contacted my 2 close friends to show them! They have known of my struggle regarding not fitting in this world. They were as excited as me. I have brought this info to my therapist and we are going to begin addressing my issues with respect to communication. Anyway just really excited and wanted to say hi.

Hi seeker5, your openness amazes me. Did you actually tell that to your friends? You must be a very secure person. Good for you.

Hello seeker5 and welcome to the WrongPlanet. Discovering AS in your life is an amazing thing. For me it brought the puzzle pieces of my life together. For a long time I had thought that I was the only person in the world like me. Then I found out I was not alone after learning I had AS. This was a relief to me. I was happy with the diagnosis. I wish you all the luck and happiness with your discoveries into this fascinating journey.
