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

  • You should try downloading NVU it's not amazing but it's free and easy to use so you won't have to worry about your trial being up and only being halfway through.

    I know what you mean about forgetting everything, when it was my obsession I could build an entire site using just a notepad and typing out all the coding wheras now I need to predominantely use a site builder but I still know all the basic coding.

    CSS is useful because it means you can quickly change the entire scheme without having to trail through pages and pages of coding to change them indivdually. I always had a problem with the javascript element of it though (I'd always screw up so the CSS wasn't being referred to). The absolute bane of my life a few years ago when I was making ecommerce sites was T string errors and having to go through every last thing looking for the cause (curse you apostrophe lol).

    Good luck with your site :)
