Hey Guys,

My name is Chris and I'm a self diagnose Aspie. Found out this past Christmas. I've been lurking the forums the past couple of months and decided to make an account today. Never talked or met another Aspie (at least not that I know of!) and figured it would be cool to make friends on here. It would be nice to talk to someone that actually gets me for once and actually have gone to what I've gone through as being an Aspie. I use to think I was the only one and there was no one else like me until I found out about Asperger this past Christmas like I said earlier. It was awesome knowing that I wasn't the only one and there's a whole community of people just like me. I hope to hear from you guys soon and hopefully meet anyone of you guys if you guys are ever in the Miami area. Take care and have a great day guys!

Hello sir!

I was diagnosed when I was very young and my mom sort of organized a friendship between me and another aspie, at the time we were obsessing over the same things and we got along very well. Right now my closest friends are all people who have some autistic traits because I find such people easier to connect with. I really enjoy being around neurodiverse people because I can feel free to be myself without being judged and I feel less like a weird person who has no idea what is going on a lot of the time. That's my experience with it anyway.

I hope you have a good time here.
