Greetings fellow aspies. My self diagnoses came on one strange afternoon when I decided to pick up a ladies magazine of a friend of mine which boasted with it’s new bite-sized A5 format. I scrolled, (did I just say scrolled?) I mean – paged through the magazine, which I now think was a true blessing in disguise because the circumstances which led to me picking up that mag was just too random to be true; we were at our beach house, the weather was awful, all the men went fishing, and I don’t fish, the beach house is out of 3G/HSDPA reception etc etc.

So out of boredom, I started reading the whole magazine, and stumbled upon this pretty comprehensive article about Aspergers. First time I’ve heard of it as I read through the article it was as if one light after the other went on in my head, EUREKA. Everything is so clear now, finally I’ve got something to blame for not having bunches of friends, having difficulty to pursue relationships for longer than 7 days, being called heartless and cold and thus ending said relationships, being emotionally detached, and generally not just giving a damn ! ! I immediately said a little ‘thank-you’ prayer and asked God to bless the writer and researchers on that article. I made a note on my mobile to google this Asperger as soon as I’m near to an internet connection again, which I did, and forgetten all about it until recently when I came across this forum.

So, about me…uhm, not much REALY. The only new-years resolution I’ve got, and actually only decided this yesterday, is to resurrect my online presence. My job ate up most of my time last year and 2009 thus far, so I decided to hell with’em – more metime.

I really look forward to participating in this forum, and getting to know the community.

Peace.
