Hi, everyone!

I am worried that I might have signed up here before- if so, I'm sorry about that.
I was on Spectrumville way back when, and I know I've done some (minimal) lurking here. I've been feeling a little lonely lately, especially since I am about to graduate and (hopefully) start grad school in a new city, and I thought it'd be nice to (figuratively) see some familiar faces :p

I am an art student and Otaku. I am in my early 20's, and got married two years ago now (the last things I remember on SV was being congratulated on getting engaged :) ). I was diagnosed almost four years ago now, when I was having problems with anxiety and social phobias- I have some doubts about it now because my mentioning that I thought I had asperger's basically shut down the conversation with the therapist doing my new-patient interview, and I was rushed into seeing a child specialist that treated me like, well, a child. So, I haven't really tried much in the way of professional counseling since. Getting more settled into school has helped, on that front, because I have friends that just take my quirks as a part of me (see "Lonely because I am graduating" above, though). My senior thesis show in photography and digital composition is going to be displayed in a couple weeks, so I will probably spend all my time here making people look at it ;)

Let me know if you remember me (I mean, no pressure if you don't- new friends are greatly appreciated, too!)
