eddyr Report post Posted July 15, 2012 Hello all. I thought it would be apt to sign up here. Seems fair and friendly enough. Anyhoo, I signed up just to connect with people on the autism spectrum. I myself have a fairly weak form of aspergers. I probably struggle to maintain relationships and develop them. Plus I am more suffering from anxiety and depression these days, and as such, life is very hard. However, it gives me great pleasure to connect to people who hopefully share common interests and ideas as well as compelling values. Would be a bonus to gain so,e intelligent friends whether that be online and who knows real life. Moving on; more about me. I'm 20myears old and have led a pretty normal and unsettled life. Things started to become unsettled during my first year of 6th form whereby I had to use my under par social skills to pull through the turmoil that is 6th form. Surprisingly, I hadn't received the help I sought and as such I basked in peril subsequently. yeah so it's funny you can't get support without a diagnosis which I thought was utterly demeaning. Either way I suffered as a result but as of now I study at uni. Doing history and politics (ba) honours. It's been a hard year, wanted to leave and got diagnosed with depression. So yeah I primarily signed up in here in search of hope and solace I may come to hopefully bear with in the near future. I think this opening prose is more than adequate a piece and I hope you enjoyed my rather short introduction. Either way was hoping to break the ice and get straight in there so to speak. Anyways, it's nice to meat y'all and I hope we both pull through our struggles in triumphant fashion. Edd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
