Hi everybody, I'm new. Well, actually, I'm Hannah, but I haven't posted here so... yeah. That's what I meant.

I wanted to ask some advice. I'm riddled with Asperger's traits, and in the process of getting a diagnosis. I have one friend I've managed to hang on to, and I recently came clean about the distinct possibility I have AS. As is my custom, ( Read more... )

I was diagnosed with Asperger's this past March after waiting a year to be seen at my university. I never told my family about my plans and I haven't told them since I got the diagnosis. I never gave telling my family much thought until I came home for the summer. As I learn more about myself and how Asperger's has effected it, the more I've begun ( Read more... )
