I've known about this site for a while but just now got around to signing up
I suppose I should introduce myself, no?
My name's Shea, I'm a 15 year old female with AS. I'm a freshman in highschool, and I go to public school.
Some of my hobbies are anime (as you might could tell from my icon, my fave is Gurren Lagann :3), video games, collecting dolls/toys, fiction writing and photography. I also study ballet and contemporary dance. I listen to mainly electronic and alternative music.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 13. At the beginning of junior high I was incredibly depressed and started having meltdowns, and my mom studied up on AS and decided to get me tested. I underwent some neuro-feedback therapy and that helped my meltdowns tremendously. After 6th grade I became home schooled and became very introverted. My depression and anxiety eventually improved and I decided to go back to public school.
I'm not exactly shy, and my few friends at school don't even realize I have AS or anything, but I'm still very uncomfortable in social situations. Unfortunately I go to a large school and it gets very overwhelming
It can definitely be a challenge just go every day. I plan to go back to home/online schooling next year as I've found it works much better for me
Anyways, sorry for the incoherent rant of an introduction XD I can't wait to start posting more and get to know all of you!
