Why are you here? I just got diagnosed, and I was looking for more info and stuff, I found this site and it seemed interesting.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Today! Well, technically yesterday since it's past Midnight now, but this morning. Years of wondering if I had aspergers finally vindicated!
Favorite subjects: Most of them, really. I always loved learning everything. I'm studying maths for science on the Open University at the moment.

Do you like sports? Not regular sports, really. But I want to take up archery, and I quite like yoga and things.
