11krage Report post Posted September 29, 2008 Greetings, new here. I am 21, female, diagnosed with aspergers as a toddler. Currently beginning my last year of a degree in animal behaviour and welfare. My best friend is my oddball cat, and i'm planning on getting a job with animals once i graduate. About all i can think of right now, except perhaps that i also have dyspraxia affecting my gross motor skills. So both socially and physically awkward Nice to meet you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thompsons Report post Posted September 29, 2008 Welcome!! I'm 18 and haven't had a formal diagnosis yet (I currently have an 'unknown psychosis' ), but they're now pretty sure I have Aspergers and I'll be having an assessment done. I also love animals - would love to work with them!!! My best friend is my dog - she's in my display pic And I also have dyspraxia! Hope to see you around often!

Mumble Report post Posted September 30, 2008 So both socially and physically awkward :lol: Me too!! Welcome to the forum and good luck with your last degree year - I'm in what should be my final year too although I may need to extend for non-AS reasons. What does your online name mean / where does it come from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
