STEPH WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE :8 Good luck trying to set that up! There is something like that at my school run by the disabilities services department, where people who have Aspergers and social anxiety can meet up and talk and get help socializing in class and make friends. If there is something like Disabilities Services at Gettysburg, maybe they can help you out?

D'awww, thank you!

That's actually a really good idea. I think I'll shoot 'em a line now, actually!

Go Steph! *\o/* I love to see you taking charge like this, coming out of your shell. I'm so proud :3

Aww, thank you! I just...saw an opportunity to help people is all...

I was diagnosed really late too. I think starting a chapter at your school is a great idea.

1863_project August 16 2010, 01:03:28 UTC

How late was yours? I feel like I would've had a much better life as a kid if I'd been diagnosed younger. And thanks - I hope it works!

I was 20 or 21. A lot of things finally "clicked into place" when we got the diagnosis.

Same story here! Same exactly! It was right after I turned 20!

Eee, thank you! Here's hoping!

As someone who has the traits but not a formal diagnosis (and whose father had Asperger), I know what havoc it causes when it comes to navigating the rest of the world, relationships, etc. I think starting a chapter would be an *awesome* way to help the cause.

And...that is an absolutely adorable picture of you!

1863_project August 19 2010, 05:52:03 UTC

I really hope it works out! I'd love to help other people like myself - my first semester at school was awful in terms of making friends, etc.

And awww, thank you! Really?

ecl1958 August 19 2010, 16:38:24 UTC

Yes, really! Look at those big brown eyes! So pretty!

1863_project August 22 2010, 23:59:19 UTC

Awwww, thank you! Seriously! That goes a long way. ♥

Hey! It's Laura (lauramets) from tumblr. I finally got an LJ account that I'm going to use.

I have no idea how to make friends on LJ so I was going through the search of people who also have 'New York Mets' listed in their interests. I saw you and got excited that I knew someone! :)

1863_project August 22 2010, 23:57:14 UTC

Yay, you got an LJ! So exciting!

I will totally friend you back as soon as possible - I just have to set up my computer on our wireless at school, which should be tomorrow.

Totally loving the Mainer icon, by the way!

newyorkmetsies August 23 2010, 01:52:05 UTC

Okay, awesome! :D

And thanks. My love for him will never die. Ever.

Friended!

That is exactly how I feel about Shawn Estes. I will forever remember what he did in that Clemens-Piazza fiasco, even if almost no one else still knows his name.
