hello everyone.

I found this site by way of wikipedia and decided to join because I liked the url (it really does feel like the wrong planet sometimes).

Anyways, hello, I am Kat. I am 20 and originally from Los Angeles but am in Paris, France for a while (will be back home after this summer). My 16 year old brother got diagnosed with AS last year after some schooling problems led us to taking him to psychologists and psychiatrists and AS kind of came out of the blue for us (we just thought it was depression or something), though there is ADHD all over the family and a schitzophrenic too (so we weren't so supprised). I think I might have AS too (to some extent) after reading more about it, but it is totally just my speculation (I have some other thoughts on what I have, if I have anything besides just weirdness) and I think my symptoms are a lot different from my brothers but AS seems to fit me pretty well. So there is that.

Hope to get to know some of you and offer my support or some words where I can. Thanks to this community for existing and all of you deciding to participate in it.

_Kat

Hello. I think I need to read that wikipedia article. Aspies for freedom has several online tests to help determine the possibility of asperger's in your life.

I have been trying to get to the Aspies For Freedom all day but it wont load for me. Even Google's cache of the site wont load. is it the site, or my internet or something being funky?

Bonjour.

You might try out the Aspie quiz. There's a thread somewhere on here for posting your score, should you wish to. :)
