Hello all.

I was shown this site by an LSA (Learning Support Assistant) in college a couple of months before my course finished, though I've never had the courage to sign up before now. Having coped with my Asperger's Syndrome for much of my life, and having been diagnosed in 1991, I've always hoped to be able to find a group of people who'd fully understand what it's like to live life with Asperger's. I've been reading the forums, and this site has surprised me beyond belief, and has opened my eyes to pathways I could never have imagined.

Though it's been a long time since I've been treated differently or discriminated against due to this, I fear that this will restart when I start to attend job interviews in the near future. Partly because of the recession taking place in the UK, I have had no luck with finding work so far. To find that some of you have experienced this for yourselves is, to me, quite saddening, but at the same time (without trying to offend) a sort of reassurance, knowing that I'm not the only one who has seen this for themselves. Some of the other stories I have come across are quite familiar, and in many ways rather saddening and enlighting depending on the subject.

I can be very happy as a member here. Have a nice day.
