Hello everyone

Post Reply New Topic

I self-diagnosed myself with Asperger's Syndrome. I'm 28 years old. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, but I don't believe that that diagnosis was correct. Even after being put on Ritalin (back then) I was, and remain, a social cripple; I was picked on throughout grade-school, high school, etc etc. I'm sure everyone knows the story.

I've been looking for ways to improve my life, and it seems that I have a lot of issues to work through. I made the decision to go back to school this fall, but six weeks in I'm so stressed out over everything that I've had to quit.. again. I just can't seem to navigate through the maze inside my head; you know, the one between where I am and the place where life doesn't suck.

I'm going to try to get in to see a psychologist. Maybe if I get officially diagnosed, things will improve. I also welcome any help and advice that the community here can give me.

Thanks,

Brandon

Welcome to WP!

Nice to meet you, Brandon, and welcome to the WP neighborhood.

To WrongPlanet!! !

Welcome here. I can relate to your school experiences. I am a college drop-out, now trying to do distance learninb, tut this too is not going quite well. There's so much stress you have to endure for this stuff.

Welcome.

My advice would be to talk to folks here and read some posts, take some online tests (for self-validation that you really have AS), then just interact with people here when you see fit to do that. And realize we all have issues connected to AS and finally I'd say that the support we get and give on this site makes life a more rewarding place than it would be without Wrong Planet.

Hey Brandon! Welcome!
