Welcome to One Little Aspergian

So, where does one start a blogging expedition such as this? I suppose from the beginning.

I have Aspergers Syndrome, I'm 23 years old, I'm female, and hopefully this blog will help shed some light into the darkened corners of our little Aspergeric world. Oftentimes I'll hear parents of people on the ASD spectrum asking why their children do what they do, what the reasons behind their little idiosyncrasies and 'strange' behaviour are, and that they wish they could help them. And so often the answer seems reasonably obvious, at least to me, and albeit in a very Aspergic kind of a way. When I can I'll step in, giving my insight into the behaviour in question and suggesting what the cause might be, and so often it seems to come as a revelation of sorts. It's a recent number of these moments that made me think about putting this kind of 'wayward' thinking into good use.

And so this blog is born. I'm hoping that this can help a few people understand more about what it is to be a young woman with Aspergers Syndrome; how it feels to have this misunderstood 'mild version of autism' and that it isn't doom and gloom by any stretch of the imagination.

And most importantly, that we women do get it too - without being 'extremely male-brained'!!

So, on that note...

I'm 23 years old.
