cultofbyron Report post Posted October 28, 2010 Hi there, my name's Brian/Byron and I'm a Portsmoutherian living up here in Yorkshire. Long story short, after years of suspecting myself of Social Anxiety, Schizoid, BiPolar and or Schizotypal (deep breath...) I was finally diagnosed with Asperger's earlier this year at Sheffield. I have a part time job and a wonderful girlfriend, and have managed living (with the help of my girlfriend and her father) in my own flat for three years now. I've also got a first class degree in the Arts, which so far hasn't translated into anything further, but avenues are opening up for me as of late that could lead to bigger and brighter things! Hope to be a good member of this community Byron T. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
