Hi everyone. Me and my hubby have really been thinking lately that I might be an aspie. It really fits. I took the Aspie-Quiz I found on the internet, and I got 141/200. I have always had lots of trouble making/keeping friends. I always chalked it up to being shy. I have a tendancy to get overwhelmed very easily in everything i do. I have many sensory issues. I have never held down a job for very long. Actually have only had 3 in my life. Right now I am homeschooling my kids. Somedays I feel I have bitten off more than I can chew. My step son is autistic, that is how i came to learn about autism. reading to help him.

Sorry this is so random,

Jamie

Jamie,

Welcome! I used to think I was just shy too....I was diagnosed with ASD/Asperger's 10 years ago, but my current pysch. says it's just "shy." I disagree.

I home schooled my kids also,..one is grown and one is in her Jr. year in public school now. You will find some interesting home school questions/discussions under the parenting section here.

I'm from Arkansas also.
