Uh, hello all. I'm new here, discovered this forum today. I'm not sure how I'd classify myself, as I've never been "diagnosed" with Asperger's in the clinical sense. However, I recognize in myself almost all the classic symptoms. I don't really know what else to say, except that for a long time I've felt weird. I'd better stop rambling now.
 
Hi Wyv. This is all still somewhat overwhelming to me. I just wish I knew how to handle it.
 
I am a HFA, I have all the classic symptoms of autism, so I suppose you're not alone :)

Welcome to AC! Y'all will love it here =D

Hi Lee, and welcome. This was a great place for me to get used to the idea of being an Aspie, and I hope that it helps you to think it through as well. It is a safe and supportive place.

Hi Leej07, I'm pretty much in the same boat you are! Always felt weird, but I never realized (or wanted to realize) that I had all the classic symptoms until quite recently. When I had the epiphany, a whole lot of things in my life started making sense!

I'd say you've got a long way to go before you reach "rambling" status! :) A good portion of my posts are several paragraphs long.
