Hi, I'm new (to the forum in general) and I love that someone has started a topic for AS/ASD. I have Asperger's Syndrome. I was diagnosed at 13 (I'm now 19) and even though I was lucky to have a load of help and support, I still struggle with stuff.
I have all the obsessive qualities (I did a similar thing to NoBel ToKYo, except that I had a female friend and I was too possessive over her; she got freaked out and tried to ditch me in the meanest ways possible and I wouldn't let go.) My boyfriend is an amazing person because he has to put up with the brunt of it (I am very childish sometimes; I have little squeaky voices, I like to be fussed over, if he upsets me I don't tell him because I expect him to know what he did to the letter, and then I refuse to talk to him when he doesn't know. Then I get upset because I know I'm being mean but I can't help it because I feel it's...kind of...justified...) and although my family are supportive, they sometimes get frustrated when I can't understand instructions and such. I think it came from my Dad's side of the family too, so my Dad and I clash quite a bit over things like that.
@NoBel ToKYo: I have the same thing with mayonnaise. If it's in sandwiches I can't eat the sandwich. If you asked me to eat a spoonful of it I'd be sick...yet I can eat tuna mayonnaise. In jacket potatoes, baguettes etc. Just tuna.
Ooops, sorry for length...I'd love to join your group though (if I can find it!) and Misayu, I looove your layout, even though I'm sorry, I don't know who Alice Cullen is!
