Well Hello There :D

Hi everyone. I found this site ironically through an Android app, but I'm pretty sure the sign up form on it is broken.

So about me -
I'm 24, diagnosed in the December of 2013. A few years prior to that I first came across the wiki article describing AS and from there it gradually led me to seek a diagnosis. I definitely exhibit pretty much all the stereotypical traits - e.g. I have a collection of over 400 ebooks mostly on neuroscience/ASDs (special interest), I go on road trips with a GPS device, DSLR camera, and laser rangefinder to later report the data on sites like monumentaltrees and gpsies. I'm part of a local Aspie group for young adults which I truly love and find really helpful.

I have a tendency to get overwhelmed very easily, not just around people, but anything that "moves" too quickly. I've sometimes referred to myself as mid-functioning because of that.

But anyways, I've been lonely lately, and I feel like I've lost a lot of friends that I used to be close with. I love chatting online and stuff so I'm hoping to make some new friends here!

Welcome! I think I was around your age when I first got my diagnosis really explained to me (though I was diagnosed at 16). Don't worry...we're a friendly bunch.
