Hey guys!

I probably should've posted here first, but I just got caught up in it all. I actually first joined a year or two ago, but then never came back to the site until this year, so I only really started posting a week or two ago.

I guess I'm a pretty confident person, and I have quite a lot of friends now, but lately I've been feeling like there's this gap within me. Somehow, this site fills the gap. I feel like I can truly be myself here, in a way I can't anywhere else.

I'm pretty much the aspie who's perfected the art of acting NT. I'm pretty popular, in with several groups, socially outgoing and confident, and I've managed (for the most part) to deal with my learning difficulties and stress and maintain a high GPA at uni, along with a reasonably decent social life. I can play in both arenas.

I can also be very introverted at times, and I really value my quiet time during those times.

General info: I'm a female aspie, diagnosed at age 12 (wish this site had been around back then when I had no friends), 20 years old to date, I live in Australia, blue eyes, honey blonde hair, art, music, drama, and english (reading/creative writing) obsessed, and my grammar has gone down the drain because it's the middle of the night and I should be doing an assignment.

I can now add WP to that list of obsessions :lol: .

Hello!

Great to hear a success story of someone breaking through the social barriers.

It looks like there's a lot of people from Australia on here.

I'll have to do an intro of myself soon too, but like you, I'm supposed to be doing an assignment right now, but procrastinating, even though it's due today..

Marry my son, please!! ! He's twenty-six, cute, and has a good job programming for a video game company.

Oh, and no, he does not live in my basement.

I'm joking. I hope I didn't scare you.

LOL hahaha - I'll take it as a compliment. I have a close male friend who's a total programming IT nerd, and he's a great guy.

You remind me of my friend who wanted to sell my younger brother's mobile number over ebay O_0 :lol:

I like your name and you're posts have been great.
