Well, I joined and this forum said to come in and introduce myself and I am a good listener, so here I am

I guess the best place to start is answering these questions:
What is your first name?

Age: Meg

Location: So-Cal

Hobbies and Interests: Music (I'm a classical Musician), Education (I'm also a teacher)

Why are you here? I'm in love with an Aspie

Favorite subjects: I've always loved history.

Year/Grade: I have a BA and MM in music and am currently working on my Credential/Master for Special Ed

Favorite music: Classical... Opera to be very specific

Books: Where do I start?

Instrument: Voice

Do you like sports? Eh, not really

Family: Love them

Clothing: Wear it

How did you find this website? Google... I started looking for support groups.

Job: Teacher/Opera Singer

Plans for the future? So many, but mainly just being content wherever I end up

Any comments? I would love to get to know more people in NT/Aspie relationships. I think me and my man fit so well together, but he constantly says it takes a special NT to love an Aspie. I don't think he is hard to love, but why not find more people like us?

Also, I would love any resources (good books, movies...etc) to help me get a better peak into AS. I've been focused on it for my research for my credential (hours and hours of research articles...), but after watching Adam with my BF, I realized I still knew so little. Watching a "generic Aspie" (as my BF referred to Adam) gave me more insight then all the research studies I've read.

Welcome

You can have a look at this book if you'd like, by well renowned Professor Tony Attwood; who's something of a super star regarding understanding Aspergers:

Hope that helps.

Thank you, Hart! My bf gave me his highlighted copy of that book to read when we first got together. It has been very insightful. I think I need to read/watch more first hand accounts. Watching "Adam" helped me to see a little more what it is like to live with AS. My bf disguising a lot of his symptoms, so while we talk a lot about it, most of his process and struggle is internal. Reading other accounts may help me understand a little more and ask better questions.
