Just thought I'd stick my head in here and introduce myself. I'm a writer & website editor (link in my sig) -- and also almost certainly an Aspie. I found this site while doing some research for an editorial I'm writing for the site below and thought I'd say hi. Great site -- I think I may stick around for a bit. *grin*

I will say that I don't have a formal diagnosis of Aspergers; however, I was diagnosed with ADHD and "sensory integration disorder" as a child in the late 70's-early 1980's. And had years of therapy for the sensory stuff. (I'm better about most of the tactile problems -- though I still don't like turtlenecks *grin* -- but my auditory processing abilities, and auditory memory is rather bad.) I don't think they had a diagnosis of "Aspergers" then. And the doctors told my mother that I was borderline for autism but they didn't want to label me with it.

If I was a kid now, I suspect my diagnosis would be Aspergers. It all fits, and reading over what other people have to say here -- well, some of the posts seem rather a lot like what I deal with day to day!

Hi ljcygnet welcome to the "right" planet..

I had to discover for myself I was on the autism spectrum, before I found the real me.
