Newly diagnosed Aspie

solitarymonkey

Hello everyone. I haven't read through any of the current discussions yet, I'm just jumping right in to introducing myself.

I was diagnosed on Monday with Asperger's syndrome, after a 4-5 year "battle" through the health service, adamant that I needed help and support. Took their time, but after I found the right GP, I finally got there in the end :)

I am a 25 year old male, with an interest in computers and electronics. My knowledge doesn't go very far though, as I have a terrible habbit of changing my interests quite frequently, so I tend not to learn much.

I'm full-time employed in a local retail store, but it is often very daunting, especially during periods when the local school closes for the day and at weekends (gets very noisy and busy). Nearly lost my job a few times, for various reasons, but I'm still there, earning my pennies.

I am also now trying to build a website to try and help provide information and support for adults with Asperger's syndrome, and other ASC's. Whether I'll complete the website or not, only time will tell.

Anyway, not sure what else to say for now, but I hope to get to meet some very wonderful people here :)

All the best,

solitarymonkey

  • done a little bit, yeah. been doing it on a trial of dreamweaver. spent ages getting a basic desgin sorted while i was waiting for my diagnosis to come through, and i've forgotten most of what i learnt. keep getting writers block, too, so i end up staring at a (relatively) blank screen for ages. not good.. :( but i'll get there. i promised myself i will. have even made a logo! :)

    i had a obsession with ancient Egypt when i was a teen. that lasted at least 2 years. i even had my bedroom redecorated to look like an oasis, with various things hanging on the wall. i miss those days..

    how did you find CSS when it came to page layout and design?
