name: Micki
age: 45
location: Montana
hobbies/interest: currently into survivalism and back to the land skills
why am i here: ASPERGERS
when diagnosed: finally!

stumbled upon this site. love the name.
additional info: I am artistic, musical, logical, and curious.
I am frustrated by the misdiagnosis i have received, (borderline, ocd, gad, etc.) i have always felt like an alien. after finding aspie, i am relieved. there is nothing wrong with me or the NT's we are just different.
I hope to be able to learn how to function in their world and they in mine. |
