For the last three days I've been reading anything that I could find on AS. I've always felt "different", and now I know why. Name the symptom, and I got it. From the weird walk to being too loud and inappropriate in public, I am a textbook case.

Over the holidays, my plan is to talk to my family in helping me get diagnosed and finding support groups to help with my issues involving careers and relationships.

It's so awesome to know I'm not alone. I have new feelings of hope and understanding.

So my narrow interests are artsy, lefty political, and of adult subject matter, so I'll probably be spending a lot of time in those forums. See you there!

I'm from Chicago, and would love to get any feedback on group therapy and/or drunken get gatherings on the north side.

Keep your family and your current self identity handy. It is a wild ride. It explains alot, yet it also digs everything back up from your entire life, to be looked at. Whenever you feel as if you are starting to be overwhelmed, walk away from being an aspie and just be yourself. Goodluck, and blessings.

Well, I think maybe a few people in my fam should look into this too, since we're a bunch of inappropriate, twitchy weirdos. I mean that in the best way possible.
