Age: 18

Location: Australia

Hobbies and Interests: Reading, writing (generally short stories), gaming (Nintendo franchises consistently seem to be my favorite, like LoZ and Fire Emblem and so on, but I love me a whole bunch of stuff in lots of genres), psychology and neuroscience, general geekery, linguistics.

Why are you here? I have Asperger's, and I felt like joining a community, and so -- like strawberries and cream -- the two have merged into delicious harmony. Mmm, strawberries.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I haven't been diagnosed officially, but both my brother and father have, and we all feel diagnosis for me is unnecessary.

Favorite subjects: Psychology, English writing, sociology, philosophy.

Year/Grade: 12

and Celtic is a love because I used to play the whistle.

Books: Oh man. Everything that's good, in all the genres. But I love Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Virginia Woolf, David Malouf, Brandon Sanderson, George R. Martin, J. K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, Margaret Atwood (The Blind Assassin is possibly my favorite novel ever written), Tim Winton... ALL THE AUTHORS!! !

TV shows/Movies: Firefly, The Wire, Wolf's Rain (a soft spot for me, because it was my first anime), all the Studio Ghibli movies ever, Waking Life, Samson and Delilah (the Australian movie), Fight Club, V for Vendetta, and, man. There are so many movies, but I've forgotten some amazing ones, I know it.

Instrument: Used to play the celtic whistle/pennywhistle/tin whistle. Then I stopped, because I had too many interests and they where overwhelming me, so I let that one drop.

Do you like sports? Hm... basketball is fun! Even though I'm short. But other than that, not particularly.

Family: One brother, both parents, and an extended family that is so huge I can barely remember all their names.

Clothing: Ahum. I don't have any set style, exactly, but I sort of alternate between somewhat unusual (I own an AWESOME newspaper-print skirt) or retro and very clean-cut stylish. Or just grubbing around stuff.

How did you find this website? My dad told me about it ages and ages ago.

Job: Kinda sorta. That is all!

Plans for the future? Studying psychology in university, doing some travelling, and then? TO INFINITY, AND BEYOND!! !!
