    Hey, what's up :) Out of interest, how do you go about doing the tests that your sig refers to?

    Hey, great to meet you :) Sorry to hear of your diagnosis so late. Mine wasn't a shock at all - although if it had come a few years earlier, it would have been completely. I've always had a horribly analytical/obsessive mind and been interested in peculiarities and remembered things like...

    I definitely did find it helpful, thanks again. I will try and look at the positives, but they don't seem like much of a comfort right now. And yeah, I really am in a bad place. I've had 3 mental breakdowns before - two before I'd even heard of Aspergers and one when I was pretty sure I had it...

    Hey Suzanne, great to hear from you. And let's hope so.. For me, I hate the fact that mine is what is considered 'mild.' I would without hesitation, trade minds with someone who lacked the insight that they were abnormal. I hate that I cannot seem to make friends with people - although I can...

    Hey everyone I'm 22, a student from the UK and was diagnosed with Aspergers in May this year. Right now, I'm at a real low point, knowing that I face another 60+ years of existing without fitting in and of feeling utterly miserable. I do wish I was dead right now, something I gather is common...
