    Hallo...

    Hi everyone. Soo, a couple months ago I was talking to my mother on the phone, and she said sort of out of the blue "Well, I think you probably have Aspergers." My reaction was "Wtf?!" - I hardly even knew anything about what Aspergers was! Anywho, afterwards I decided to look up a bit...
