Another Newie Here

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

I'm new here, although I'm not entirely sure if I belong here. I have known about AS for a few years now and have had it in the back of my mind as something that might be applicable to me, but lately I was prompted to actually research it properly, and there are a lot of things about it that are relevant to me. I have also done several online tests and although I have my doubts about their accuracy and any personal bias I may be giving in my answers, they all give results that strongly suggest I have AS. I don't know if I would ever go and seek an official diagnosis though, it doesn't seem that important to me - so perhaps I will always remain an enigma to myself!

I can't begin to express the relief I felt in finding this website though, it's so amazing to see that there are people out there that seem to think the same way as me, and I'm not just the odd one out. So thank you

p.s. I'm actually really nervous about starting to post in here after lurking for about a week, so I'm not wording myself very well. I'll ease up soon, I hope

You're doing fine, and welcome. As you've no doubt noticed, a great many here are trying to figure out if they have AS, and it's a great place to do research and talk with some who have been diagnosed. Enjoy!

Hello from another Newbie.

Welcome llama_llama,

All that matters is if you like it here. I have learned a lot in a short time. I thought I had a few quirks, now I find I have a tribe.

Welcome to WP

Welcome to WP!

Hi, welcome to WP!

And don't worry about wordings, I'm dyslexic and have written many unintentionally uncomprehensible words and sentences here!

Hi!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

Interestingly enough "llama" was the first incorrect answer to a question that cost a player everything on our version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."

"Bert's Family Feud" may have been canceled, but I'm glad you're here!

I hope you enjoy posting!

Awesome, thanks guys! You're all very friendly

Larsenjw, I am still having trouble dealing with the shock axing of the brilliance that was Bert's Family Feud, but I'm sure one day soon I'll be able to move on

You could do the test alone? sheeze am I the only one that needed help? Probably. Oh well.

Yeah what girl7000, goes double for me. if it looks like greek it isn't, it's just me trying to write english. Doesn't stop me though. I suspect a few would like it too

My name is Jason, but remember, we still have Andrew O'Keeffe, Ed Phillips and Eddie McGuire!

I am from the US, but I keep up on worldwide game show news, of course!

Welcome aboard, llama_llama:

Take a deep breath...inhale, one...,two..., three..., four...,
and ex-hale, one...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight.

Repeat this until you feel calmer;
deep breathing like this is a time-honoured way of managing mild anxiety.

As for me, I too was a little nervous the first time I posted here.
The people here are generally nice enough once you become familiar
with them. Hope this helps you, and again, welcome.
