I'm a 23-year-old with a longstanding diagnosis of AS, and I'm coming to a point in my life I kind of want to deal more with it. I'm very high functioning, and have adapted enough that I, for the most part, have better social skills than a lot of NTs, but I'm still wired like an aspie at the core. I've had a pretty rough life, and have spent most of my life after puberty in youth placements, MH/MR institutions, D&A facilities, or the correctional system. I'm just now getting enough of my life together that I kind of want to address me, if that makes any sense. I still retain a lot of fear that if I show my aspie side people won't understand, and I'm basically trying to find a way past that.

So, yeah. I'm not entirely sure what else to say, but... yeah. I've known about this site for a while, and figured I'd check it out.
