Hello everyone, just signed up!

Hello everyone, I've just joined the forum. About myself, I have aspergers syndrome and was diagnosed when I was 8. (I think!) I don't find it a problem in itself, although other people's attitudes do give give me a bit of trouble. My interests are mostly political, although I am also interested in science, esspecially space travel and evolution. I formed my politcal ideas over the last four years, and consider myself a communist. The main thing I suppose that most people think is "weird" about me is my support for North Korea. I devoted two websites to my ideas, an early and not so good one, http://www.dprkforever.8m.com and a later one, for my group, http://www.youngjuche.org I hope I enjoy my stay on this forum!

Also, I have read Luke Jackson's exelent book, freeks geeks and asperger syndrome I was very impreased by his writing skills and wit, as well as being interested in the strong veiws he expressed.

Hello, anyone out there? I've just added a new signature anyway. The site is out as I write this but It might well be up again when you read this.

I am new too. Just signed up tonight.

Well I too have asperger's syndrome(although not as bad as when I was a kid) I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed in 1996 at age 10. I live in Thunder Bay,Ontario,Canada(I was born in the Ottawa region in the city/town of Pembroke)

I was never good at math in school(I found it difficult as that was one of my main areas that I had problems in) I am chronically shy, I had a few friends in high school.

I could never relate to others who were my age or younger. I always related to people older than myself.
