Hello Everybody

[anotherbrick]

Hello,

I am 24, going to UVU, and am currently on a journey of trying to find my place within the Church, as well as the world.

I have high functioning aspergers syndrome, which causes me to feel extremely anxious around screaming kids, and people whom I find to be intimidating in general.

I did not go on a mission, because of my aspergers, and have felt extremely isolated at times at singles ward events and other socials.

Despite everything, I still enjoy life for the most part. I love going to institute, and enjoy socializing with friends there (a stake institute I have gone to for about 3 years). I love music, and watching movies.

I hope that being on this board can help me in my journey, and that I can get some advice or other words of wisdom.

Cheers!

Hi Anthony and do feel welcome. Enjoy!

So officially:

Welcome to LDS.net. You will find here an ecclectic mix of LDS and some non-members. While the site is dedicated to the Gospel, and to promoting the Church to a world that often does not understand us, we also make room for conversations about current events, and about social and cultural practices within the Church. If your main desire is to learn about the Church, consider starting with the "Learn About Mormonism" forums. For more advanced teachings, that will often include a variety of perspectives, some non-LDS, consider the Gospel section of forums.

While you are welcome to all main sections, be aware this site makes room for a variety of opinions and personalities. Some posters can be passionate about their views, and occasionally more so about them than about the souls of visitors. If you find something particularly offensive, feel free to make a report by clicking the appropriate tab.
