So hullo there! My name's Bess, I am somewhat female and I came by this place after talking with a friend, on a different site, about Autism.
I myself am not diagnosed with Aspergers, but all my life I've felt "not quite right" like I'm different from other people and it isn't because I have ADD. My mother knew I could easily have been diagnosed as a child, but she decided not to in order for me to not get labeled and such.
To be honest, I think I can cope fairly well, though I've had to teach myself over the years through trial and error of what is and isn't socially acceptable...eheh...
But I know I don't think the way my other friends do, and situations that are "emotional" or awkward give me a minor case of anxiety attacks.
I could go on, but I'll save that for later. I'm just here to say hi at the moment!
So, hi! How're you? Nice to meetcha!
