Hello! I'm Local_Outcast! My nickname is technically an example of irony because I'm pretty sure that there's someone on this site that's just like me. My parents have been noted by professionals that I had Aspergers syndrome (which they didn't believe and always assumed it was a combination of ADHD, APD (Auditory Processing Disorder) and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) which, hysterically, are branches of AS XD) but I wasn't fully diagnosed until three years ago. In fact, my parents didn't figure out I was diagnosed until THIS YEAR! So, yeah, you can call it a "secret diagnosis". Personally, I don't know how to feel about the whole experience... all I know is that I don't know anyone else in my school that has it which is why I came here.

Anywaaaaayy, I'm excited to be here! Very Happy

Well its exciting to see you here!

Welcome. I guess i'd be a 'secret self-diagnostic'. Pretty odd myself, but even stranger that I'm finding people on here with the same strange habits.

Same here. I try bringing it up to mum and all I get is 'I've heard that before...'

It's cool to meet you! Welcome to WP, OP. And don't worry, we are all weird here. Which I suppose... makes us the normal ones... hmmm... *ponders*

*continues the ponder* if you're normal, and everyone around you is weird...that would make you weird?

So if everyone is weird, and you're weird...that means we're all normal.

I was going to type something really philosophical, then realized i basically just repeated what you said.
