Do you like sports? Not really. I was raised to be a NASCAR fan, grew up liking it, but there seems to be far too many inconsistencies in the implementation of the rules and how they are applied differently to different teams. Too many coincidental patterns for the sport to be random. Once I was convinced the sport was "fixed", I lost interest.

Job: A really boring one, but it allows me to day dream all day and get paid for it... so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Plans for the future? Just to continue gathering knowledge on subjects I care about, whatever they may be. I would be happy If I could implement my ideas on the next iteration of human mass transit.

Any comments? Ill leave that to the posts I comment on.

First name: Emma

Age: 12 (13 in July)

Location: Somerset/Bristol border, England.

Hobbies and Interests: I sing, play guitar, play piano. I also write, I roleplay, cosplay and I game - a lot.

Why are you here? - I'm here because I was looking for somewhere for people like me, as I don't feel very comfortable around people my age or a lot of people in my area. Neurotypical people my age I don't exactly get along with either.

When were you diagnosed? - I was diagnosed at birth. I have basically a bit of everything, but learning-wise I seem to be fine. Aspergers and mixed autism.

Favorite subjects: Music, English, Learning For Life, Social Skills and PE (when it's Dodgeball, running - even though I can't run properly - or netball).

Year/Grade: 8

Favorite music: I am in love with rock, metal, and also emo and some things that you can't exactly put a name to. My favorite band is Breaking Benjamin, though my taste in music is still very varied, as I like a bit of everything, so it's hard to decide.

Books: The Harry Potter series, and the Sherlock Holmes books.

TV shows/Movies: I like horror films, as well as love films and comedy, so it's hard to choose. I remember that one of the first movies I watched and loved was 'Look Who's Talking'.

Instrument: I sing, play the guitar and play the piano.

Do you like sports? Hell to the yes! Depending on what it is.

Family: Parents, two sisters and a brother, my dog, two rabbits, a rat. Two nieces and a nephew and a niece and a nephew on the way. Also, I have a close cousin and a close Aunt and Uncle.

Clothing: I'm really into checkered shirts, for some reason. I used to wear all black but realized that it hardly suited me and started wearing bright colours, and people started to compliment me more. I can't wear that much jewelry as it catches on me and the metal hurts me.

How did you find this website? - I just searched 'Autistic forums' and I found this.

Job: Student.

Plans for the future? - I plan to get into the music industry, or perhaps write books, or become a medic. I still have a long way ahead of me, though, and I'll be glad just to get good grades at this point.

Any comments? - Thank you for making this forum - I can tell I'm going to like it here!

Bluebrick: I believe that you have as, I've been diagnosed with as. I say this due to your "robot brain", and the fact that you have many in your family that have as, and as is in fact genetically linked. Unlike alcoholism, you cannot change as, because this is how your brain was developed, you cannot change the biology of your brain. You can learn social skills or more social skills to better adapt to the NT world you live in.
