What is your first name?
Daniella
Age:
19
Location:
Arnhem-ish, Netherlands
Hobbies and Interests:
Mainly building websites and stuff related to it. Busy starting my own webdesign company.
I like both the designing part to building websites as the coding part.
Right now I'm busy learning Javascript. PHP & MySQL after that.
First I wanted to be a stand-up comedian, then an painter, then a writer, then an actress. And now a nerd.
I'm also interested in a bit of philosophy. I like seeing art, many kinds, and then hate it or love it.
And sometimes I read random pages on teh Wiki
Why are you here?
Well when being in the middle of the whole diagnosis process I got kind of curious about what people with AS would be like, I guess. I didn't know any. I went to read lots and lots on Asperger's and also found these forums. Found it amazing to read as to how many people I could relate with.
When were you diagnosed?
November 2009.
Favorite subjects:
Not in school but they used to be drama and... this... arty farty class... in which we drew stuff... and such...
I didn't really care about the other subjects. I hated school and about everything to do with it. My grades were fine, though.
Year/Grade:
WAS doing university (computing science) but quit over a year ago when I got extremely stressed.
Now I'm trying to learn myself everything I need to know out of books and practice.
Favorite music:
I don't particularly like any kind of music. Often it's just a certain song. I might hate the rest by the same band.
There's only one band of which I love most songs: Opeth. Their latest album is terrible, though. Going downhill.
But I also like Fiona Apple - Waltz, Club 8 - Everything Goes, Converge - Last Light, Phillip Glass - Tearing Herself Away.
Books:
I don't really read books. I don't have the patience for them, although I can really love short fragments.
The only books I read are books on computing
TV shows:
Just Joris' Showroom and Dexter at the moment.
Joris' Showroom is a short documentary-like show which follows REAL eccentric people for a few days.
They talk to them and such, about simple things, but also about things like THE MEANING OF LIFE.
Those people, often bums, or just really poor people, generally take pleasure in the small things in life.
And I admire them.
Movies:
It really depends on my mood, but I do like most of Quentin Tarantino's movies, like Death Proof.
Inglorious Basterds was s**t, though.
Then there's Planet Terror, Amelie, Hostel, Donnie Darko, uhh...
Star Wars Episode III is good, Lord of the Rings too... original, I know...
Instrument:
They're pretty.
Do you like sports?
Too lazy. Don't really like watching it, either.
Family:
Parents and younger brother (17).
Clothing:
I don't like shopping or combining clothes but I make sure that I look decent.
I generally just try to see how others are dressing and then do the same.
How did you find this website?
When googling on Asperger's Syndrome, I think.
Job:
Don't really have one. Recently I built a website, made some money with that. Not that much though.
I used to have a part-time job at a supermarket next to school. Lasted there for three years.
Still have money I made during those years, so when I need stuff I use the money I still have left...
Once I can legally offer my website services though, I hope I'll make some more again.
Plans for the future?
I just hope I'll be able to live off freelancing as a webdesigner. Have my own small house or apartment.
Not be stressed all the time. I want to have a dog, too.
I really hope it works out.
