Hi Jake. I'm 17 and I discovered AS while doing a school report on Joan of Arc. I came across it by accident. It was kind of like an awakening for me because it explained everything that's gone wrong for me at school. I don't have a diagnosis, but I'm considering getting one. I also think I have hyperlexia. I have five younger siblings, Katie, Andrew, Ellen, Matthew and James, but only Andrew and Ellen live with me. I have a new puppy named Lora.

Nice to meet you!

Tainz

Jake:
I like outer space. Some good articles to read about the Mars rovers can be found here:
[1], [2], [3]

I helped write those articles. They include photographs of rocks on mars and are really neat.

Hiya Jake! :)

Glad to see you've found this site! And you've wasted no time in finding the formatting controls either :wink:

It's great that we've got people of all age groups here. We can all help each other through our lives and various transitions.

It sounds like your diagnosis is pretty recent. I think I found out I had Asperger's at around your age. I think it was a little relieving both to me and my parents, but its effects have caused some problems for me.

Don't forget, if you have any questions or problems or anything, most of us are more than willing to help.

Cool. I've got Sim City 3000, myself. The CD's scratched, though, so I can't play it. But I like 2000 better anyway, I guess mostly since I've mastered it.

It's probably not a good idea to put your address online like that. I mean, if someone was going to mail you something, it makes sense to give them your address. But generally not good to post it on the forums. If you'd like to fix that, there should be a little "edit" button at the top of your post.

Edit: Oh, I see Mom took that off, good. :)

Hi Jake [and Mom]

It sounds as though you are a very clever young man. I don't know anything about computer gaming, but I'm sure you will meet many friends to talk to about them with on this website. Having Mom help you out is a great idea too!

Take Care

Greg

Jake: Since you are interested in outer space, why don't you tell us about your favorite planet. I'd like to learn about it!

I remember I used to be really into outer space. In, like, second grade, we had to write and make these "books", that we'd draw illustrations for and the teachers would type up the words. I did a few just on outer space, and I even went to the school library to get facts to incorporate into it. Ahh...good times. My other big interest then was medical/biological stuff, but not so much any more.

Jake, have you heard about SpaceShipOne? Neat stuff.

Hi Jake

I found out about my diagnosis at your age. I hope you see what this place has to offer and enjoy it as well.

I also like to watch movies also. I've also seen Jimmy Neutron, but it isn't my favorite movie. I have so many movies that I like but I can't choose one as my favorite.

I'm 15 years old and I have a 13 year old sister that doesn't have Asperger's Syndrome.

I've played with sim city before even though I don't have it. It's a fun computer game.

I liked the colors you chose. It shows originality and they are cool.

If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to do so here.

Ashley

I'm a girl. I love outer space. There are a lot of very cool legends regarding the constellations and besides, the stars are shiny! I used to have a whole mess of constellations mapped out on my ceiling, but they peeled off the paint, so my mum made me take them down.

Alex: My favorite planet (besides Earth) is Mars. Mars is 142,000,000 miles away from the sun. It is the farthest innner planet from the sun and it looks red from Earth.
Mars has two moons; they are called Phobos and Deimos.

Thank you for the articles. I like the pictures. How did you get to help with the articles.


Nuttdan: No, I have not heard about SpaceShipOne. What is it?

Ashley: I have a 7 year old sister and she doesn't have AS either. Her name is Erin.

Tainz: That is pretty neat.

Maire: Hi Maire. Do you know when your sister is going to be born? It's pretty cool to have two 11 month old sisters (they turned 11 months old on the 25th.) I hope you as much fun with your baby as I do with the twins. What is your favorite thing to do? When's your birthday?

I like this site.
