Hi. I'm a 17 diagnosed with AS when I was 6 years and 4 months old. I am currently attending 6th Form College in a British school where I study Maths, Further Maths, Physics and German. I am into languages, though I have difficultly learning them, though I also spend time fencing, playing keyboard and quoting xkcd at people.

I believe I may also be slightly ADHD after having looked over the diagnostic criteria, and a number of people I know have agreed with me when I have shown them the criteria. However, no professional has ever looked at it. I know I am slightly dyslexic, though I only know that because I read my AS diagnosis recently for the first time, and found it had that on it as well. Why my parents didn't tell me I don't know.

So yeah, hi!

Hi, and welcome.
It's a fun place, but some people are a little mean.
As long as you are aware, it's fine.
For example, I told a new guy to stop emailing me.
Could you handle that type of rejection?
