What is your first name? -E
Age: 22
Location: Reykjavík
Hobbies and Interests: The list is enormous... it includes biology and linguistics and way too much other stuff. I need to cut back on hobbies, soon.
Why are you here? I don't know. I'm lonely.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): 19.
Favorite subjects: Icelandic, English, German, Mathematics, Biology, History, Physics. Most of them, I guess. 
Year/Grade: It's... complicated.

Books: Harry Potter, anything P.G. Wodehouse, dictionaries, Wuthering Heights.
TV shows/Movies: A Clockwork Orange, IASIP, HIMYM, House.
Instrument: Piano, guitar, cello. I like the sound of trumpets and horns, though.
Do you like sports? Mnyah. Depends.
Family: Live with my boyfriend, have a mum and a weird array of strange family members all over the place.
Clothing: Comfy, nothing that's tight around the neck, no runny materials and no fleece *squirms*, but lots of t-shirts and hoodies and comfy jeans and warm, thick socks.
How did you find this website? I can't remember!
Job: Student.
Plans for the future? Next summer I'm going to study biology... or literature, or medicine, or anthropology... or whatever. I'm not sure. It's scary to think about it!

What is your first name? Jayne
Age: 30
Location: Scotland
Hobbies and Interests: a whole bunch of things! I'm really interested in health/medicine, webdesign, music, circus skills.. but i love learning in general, so it's always changing!
Why are you here? Well, today, it's because I just randomly decided to visit. It's snowing outside, so I thought I'd cosy up in here & read stuff 
When were you diagnosed? Haven't been, but am being assessed in a few weeks.
Favorite music: Depends on any number of things, heheh.. I really do like a lot of Ani DiFranco's stuff, & am heavily into Sage Francis at the moment..Generally, I'll listen to anything, though! 
Books: Again, I'm not particularly fussy.. Going through a bit of an Iain Banks phase again lately, & have just borrowed my first Christopher Brookmyre from my partner.
TV shows/Movies: I don't really pay attention to TV, but I do/did like Bones, Pushing Daisies, BSG, Farscape, Dexter, Would I Lie to You, Mock the Week...
Instrument: I sing & play guitar.. & have just started mucking about with MIDI..
Do you like sports? Not particularly.. martial arts are fun, though, and fire-poi.
Family: are a little complicated! I'm adopted, & have regular contact with both my adoptive and birth families, but they're scattered all over England, whilst I stubbornly refuse to trade in the hills & the snow for better weather. 
Clothing: I tend to get very attached to particular items of clothes.. At the moment I'm barely ever out of my thick, soft cardigan. On the other hand, I don't really care what I look like, so it's currently being worn over one of my boyfriend's baggy tops & a distinctly sorry-looking pair of flared black cords.. Sizing tends to be an issue as well.. I'm a bit of a gangly-lookin' creature, on account of having Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so if something fits my body as it should, then the sleeves/legs will be way too short.. having said that, I'm not a fan of tight things anyway, they make my skin crawl..
How did you find this website? Google-fu.
Job: Student Learning Disabilities Nurse
Plans for the future? I'm getting married soon! In terms of career....I'd like to work with people on the spectrum.. quite a lot of our clients with learning disabilities will have Autism, autistic traits, etc., & I'm starting to get quite defensive about some of the misconceptions out there.. perhaps my interest in this could lead to me being active in advocacy? There's also a Masters in Autism over at Strathclyde uni that could prove interesting in a few years.. Failing that (if my physical health prevents it), I could probably scratch out a decent living from my webdesign and/or music...

Favorite subjects: Food, Dance, Costuming, History, Linguistics...
Year/Grade: ?
Favorite music: Just about anything melodic. I listen to any style but don't like noise.
Books: Just about anything. Not so much into romances or sappy junk. I love non fiction and sci fi and fantasy and often westerns and mysteries.
TV shows/Movies: anything by Joss Whedon, psych thrillers for movies, Film Noir, Shine is one of the best movies ever. Not so big on romance, comedies, horror, or action (plotless ones as least) although I always have exceptions. I like war movies and westerns a lot.

Any comments? I'm extraordinarily opinionated. So hopefully I'll do better on a forum that expects that then most of them I've been on
