Hi, I'm new here. I'm from Green Bay, Wisconsin USA. I'm a 20 year old male who enjoys singing, rollerblading, and computer programming. I'm diagnosed as mild Asperger's, though I feel like I'm more than 'mild' Asperger's (at least on the inside). I've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder/uncategorized anxiety disorder and ADHD (predominately inattentive type) as well, though I'm not sure how appropriate those are as diagnoses separate from my Asperger's- at least after the latest review of the reading material I have on Asperger's. I've been working on trying to figure everything out since dropping out of college last year.

A major issue for me is a chronic lack of motivation- nothing seems to be worth doing, even things like eating and getting out of bed in the morning. So far I haven't really been able to figure out what motivates me/ what I can use to motivate myself.

hiya Codewizard welcome to our cool club
sounds to me like you might consider asking a pdoc about "dysthymia" as that is what i used to have and fight against from time to time. vigorous physical exercise [outdoors in sunlight] seems to be therapeutic in this regard.

Welcome!

Welcome! I know what you mean about the lack of motivation, I find it hard to keep myself motivated with anything for any period if time. (Unless I'm really interested in it, or there's a threat of losing something otherwise...and even that doesn't always help)
