Some of the older members might remember me as Speedingbullet im sorry for leaving without warning... its just that i felt like I really didnt fit in here... I know you guys have the same disorder as me... but this place seemed kinda wierd to me, because alot of people here seemed like some of you guys were at peace with yourselves because you guys were incredibly calm all the time, evenwhen this one woman (or was it a guy?) exploded on all of us and called people with aspergers horrible people, I was about to cuss that person to death but when I scrolled down it seemed like all of you literally wanted to help and be friends the person... that was it, I knew you guys were alot different then me, so not to long from then I left to look for a place that had more people that were my age, and that didnt have as many profanity so I could express myself more.. but I never found that place because im kindof lazy... Im not saying you are bad people, you all are good people... but now after a year and a half I see that what I have done was wrong... and im sorry...

I do not see you having done anything wrong nor do I see a need to apologize.

I never apologized because I waited 6 months to start college or for doing something that I needed to do before I go on. You needed time to learn about yourself and you took it. You should be proud of yourself for taking the initiative and look back on what you have truely learned in the years time.

I think society needs to learn that not everyone follows the exact same developmental schedule. Colleges are just learning that right now by saving spaces for students who want to take 6 months - 1 year travelling in Europe or hiking the Appalachain Trail or something else that would give the person a larger experience in life than the classroom. I just wish more of society would realize it.
