Hello fellow Aspies!

My name is Jackson. I am 20 (almost 21) years old and I have ADD, mild tourettes syndrome and aspergers. Though not officially diagnosed with the latter, it is pretty safe to say that I have it. My mother, a nurse who in the past worked with children who have special needs and various types of Autism, has even said she has always suspected I may have it. Either way, I try not to let it interfere with my life and have slowly grown to embrace my differences.
Just wanted to say hi!
 
Hi there! Welcome!

It is a challenge to get around it..."interfering with my life," as you say...and some of us are better at in than others. Hope you like it here!
 
Hey Jackson,You are lucky! To know what you have at such a young age is a great advantage. I did not find out until much later and unfortunately the world did not make much sense to me until I did. Now I know what I have, so "I" can choose how I want to use it, instead of letting it use me. I choose to do good with my gift, and it brings me pleasure. I know the difference as in the past, I have used it for other things. Usually with bad outcomes.
So Speak, Act, Observe, Dance or just be random, but follow your heart and live!
