Hey
Not sure how active these boards are but I thought I'd sign up and introduce myself.
I'm currently 25, and live with my husband, 2 dogs, 5 cats and a tortoise. I was diagnosed with "pragmatic disorder" in my early teens. This was just before being diagnosed with epilepsy. Both of which were diagnosed, from what I understand, because my mother thought I wasn't doing as well as I should be in school. Though she did think I should be getting 100% for everything, I was told my IQ was tested when I was younger and was in the top 2%. Though later I had more tests and was told parts of my IQ are extremely high whilst other parts are adverage or below. At 23 I was then diagnosed as having Asperger's.
My oldest brother was diagnosed at age 9, and is 3 1/2 years older then me. My other brother is NT and 1 1/2 years older then me. I had my mum recently tell me that I showed signs of being autistic, but at the time she was so caught up in dealing with my brothers and was just glad I was quiet.
I don't really have many friends, just a few who accept me as who I am. Though I don't see them much, and rarely go outside apart from with the dogs, for shopping and to take photos.
