Hi! This is my obligatory intro post.

My name is Rachel, I'm 51 and live in Montreal. I am not sure if I'm an Aspie or whether it's just "aspi"rational on my part to wanna find a group of people that I have a lot in common with. I do have a lot of the more common traits, such as blurting, yammering, end-stage clumsiness (I fractured my wrist wiping out on an adult trike) and stimming (my New Word Of The Day - I didn't realize there was a term for it!) and I have two cats. Oh yeah - I love parentheses. My guess is that I'm subclinical Aspie to go with my diagnosed ADD.

So, uhmmm, Hi!

Hi, I'm in the 'not sure if I am' camp too (as in no formal diagnosis) but I think I am. I'm relating to a hell of a lot on here anyway. I could do a huge list of reasons but it'll be boring so I won't.
Welcome from a relative newbie to another

Same boat too- no official diagnosis, for me its more like the more i read about AS, the more I see myself.

like the bad social skills, one tracked mind, and a few smaller things.
the only thing that is a bit unusual tthough is that i can associate with peoples extreme feelings, and my non-verbal communication isn't so bad.

Hello Rachel. WrongPlanet is approaching member #16,000!

I do not have any authority but I think we should have a prize for the 16,000 member, yes?
Perhaps Werbert would donate the giraffe he was given by his uncle....just a suggestion.

Or, I know! A million dollars. I'll write you a check.
Harry Potter book?

I had suggested a 'Welcome to WrongPlanet' virtual casserole, like a homecoming gift, but no one went for that idea either. Nevermind.

Hello anyway.
