Hi everyone!
I'm Anya and I've joined this forum because of my boyfriend, who has been diagnosed with Asperger's and whose "alien" perspective on life, among other things, has been a constant source of both fascination and frustration for me. I joined this forum to see if I could better understand him, and all the stories I have read so far are so familiar that they have already been immensely reassuring to me! It's nice to know that I'm not alone, and I'm not just putting up with a boyfriend who's a dick (not that he isn't sometimes a dick too!). It's also great to hear from people who think more like him than like me, so that even when he's not comfortable talking I have some insight into what he might be thinking. I'm really looking forward to reading more, maybe posting a bit if I get brave!
Um, about me... I'm in my twenties, from the UK, and into psychology, society and the way people work. I want to become a mental health nurse. I've never been diagnosed with anything, but I'd probably never describe myself as NT, since I'm sure you could look at my brain and spot some anomalies... like its absence, maybe?
