Questions about you

Post Reply New Topic

My name is: Josie [Basically. I'd rather just go by Laz here. If you insist, you can call me Josie. But it's still not my "real" name]

Age: 31. Until it isn't.

Location: Boston.

Hobbies and Interests: Pretty much anything to do with brains. So... neurology psychology psychiatry, which means any branch off of all those things, in depth. So i don't shut up about anything ever in the world because basically everything ties back into either philosophy, or psychology or some kind of hard science, which all tie back into brains at some level. Or you know, last resort we can ramble on about the human condition for a while.
Yeah, I dig philosophy too.

Why are you here? Life is kind of rough right now. I feel like no one gets it really, and I'm having a lot of health problems. So the normal extra effort [I think?] it takes to engage with the world seems like it's taking about 8000 times more than usual strength, energy and tolerance. I kind of just wanted a place where other people don't make me explain why I'm covering my ears or am prattling on about some random thing like how they just discovered a new tendon in the human knee and why that is so exciting. [No for reals, they did! Isn't that neat?]

When were you diagnosed? Nine-ish with ADD and depression. Then around maybe 16/17 with anxiety, 20-21 there was a reaffirmation of ADD and every kind of anxiety and bipolar added and some talk about PDD but "you are so high functioning" so that was canned [which I found out later]. 23-ish PDD was brought back out, then Asperger's, then HFA and OCD after a couple neuropsych tests and a thorough going over of childhood examinations and records. Then HFA and OCD and the bipolar was reaffirmed. I "check in" about the HFA when we do the neuropsych stuff but that's kind of been the going theme.

Favorite Subjects: Psych, Logic, Bio.

Year/Grade: On leave from school. I have a handful of courses left until I get my BS in psych with minors in art therapy and bio.

Favorite Music: Kind of old schoolish stuff, I guess. I'm not sure what makes me go yay for some things and not for others. if I try to get into it I'll write even more, I think I'm probably already way past the limit.

Books: "good"?

TV Shows/Movies: Anything I have already seen a hundred times.

Instrument: I like to sing and can kind of play guitar, piano. a couple random things.

Do you like sports? I used to be a competitive swimmer and really dug that. Sometimes I like watching baseball, but only at home. And only if it's with a couple people I like and baseball is in the background. And we are making boat drinks.

Family: Yes. I have one.

Clothing: I do on occasion dress myself.

How did you find this website? Originally? I don't really know. I've known about it for a long time and actually been referring people to it for years, just never really got involved with it myself.

Job: A professional hot mess? I don't know. I kind of write. I constantly try to get off of SSDI and fail because of some health disaster or another.

Plans for the Future: I have had like one goal for the past ten years: get my degree. Still a goal. It will be done.

Any comments? Yeah. Me and dairy are in a fight.

What is your first name?: Well I'm really thinking of changing my name to Lyn because I think that I would rather have a girl name than a boy name.

Age: 28. I'm getting pretty old! But, it's never too late to keep growing and discovering yourself.
Do keep that in mind though that I'm too old to be dating many people here.

Location: United States

Hobbies and Interests: Oh, lots of things! Well, I really like Pokemon. And I really like Nintendo games. I also really like Japanese RPGs and Arcade games and Arcade style games. I like anime and manga, too. Especially Magical Girl and Comedy anime, those are my favourite genres. And I like to draw. Especially cute and manga type things. My favourite genre of music is hardcore, and I've been taking up Ableton Live, I hope maybe I can make hardcore music myself, too. But I like lots of music. And I'm also trying to learn Python, so that maybe hopefully someday I can make my own video games!

Why are you here? Some other forums can be pretty mean. And recently a lot of people on another forum laughed and made fun of me. It felt bad. I thought coming here might cheer me up.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): It's been a long time, so I forgot the exact date, but I think I was around 13.

Favorite subjects: Subjects? You mean like studying? Well, I really like gender studies and sociology. And I really like different languages and linguistics. And psychology a little bit, too. Though some of the things they say in psychology kind of bothers me. Sometimes I want to become a neuroscientist and understand the mind better. But I find a lot of the math and science and physics I would need to do it hard and not very entertaining. I think that math and science are wonderful, but sadly I don't find them very entertaining.

Year/Grade: I'm graduated! But I am thinking about going back to school. Like to become a hair stylist. Or a neuroscientist!

Favorite music: I like a lot of music! But my favourite genre is hardcore! And that means both punk and techno.

And I like a lot of their related genres, too! Like Hardstyle and Psytrance and Twinkle Screamo and all sorts of things!
And in any case, I like happy music. So that means I also like denpa music and ska and all sorts of other things, too. But if I had to choose one word or one genre, it would be hardcore.

I guess if music genres are confusing and you'd rather hear about some of the artists I really like. Some of them would be kors k, Mitchie M, Ryu☆(Nakahara Ryutaro), Silver Forest, Motoi Sakuraba, DJ Shimamura, Tiesto, Grendel, XP8, Amduscia, IOSYS, -45, ZTS, Irus, USAO, DJ SHARPNEL, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Tempura Kidz, David Tibet, Endzweck, Hollow Jan, Unicorn Kid, Omnipony, Alex S., ElectricMudkip, DJ Gestap, SimGretina, Portraits of Past, Funeral Diner, Anomie, gauge means nothing, DJ Noriken, Blood Stain Child, dBu music, sun3, Storm of Capricorn, Psyborg Corp., Heimataerde, Forseti, Zektbach, :Of the Wand & the Moon:, EastNewSound, Yendri, Blankfield, DJ Genki, RoughSketch, In Gowan Ring, Circle Takes the Square, Nekomata Master, Perfume, Iselia, and about 30,000 more artists that I don't really have time to mention.

Books: Hmmmm, most of my favourite books are non-fiction. But I do like fiction, and I love fairy tales! Fantasy is great but my favourite kind is fairy tale type, really charming fantasy tales. And I like political and educational books.

I read a lot of pop science books. And transhumanist and futurist books. Like Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku, and Future of the Mind. And The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil, and How to Create a Mind, and Fantastic Voyage. I also read a lot of books about video games, particularly Nintendo. And I read a bunch of LGBT books, especially about bisexuality and transgender issues. And I read a lot of feminist books like Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine. And other cultures like the Sami and Japan and Russia and Korea and China and places like that. I really read a lot of non-fiction books. I feel like it would take a long time to mention them all, because I read hundreds of non-fiction books, and it doesn't leave me much time to read fictional novel stuff.

TV shows/Movies: I really like Magical Girl and Comedy anime and manga. And anything cute and girly.

Instrument: I've played a lot of instruments. But right now I'm trying my best on Ableton Live.

Do you like sports? Well not really but kind of. Most popular sports seem to be team sports featuring me. And that doesn't really interest me. But I think that women's sports are great and I like to watch them. I like to cheer on women being amazing athletes. I feel like women's sports deserve support and I love supporting them. It's going against gender stereotypes and is fun to watch. It's girl power and it's wonderful!

Also, I personally enjoy boardsports and almost anything in the water. I love swimming. And I love skateboarding and surfing, and skimboarding, and wakeboarding, and snowboarding and all sorts of things like that. I could swim for 6 hours or more a day. I feel like a paradise would be a happy beach where hardstyle is always playing. With a skatepark and an arcade all sorts of fun things.

Family: They accept me as autistic. But they don't accept be as transgender/genderqueer or bisexual or anything like they. They don't accept my sexuality or my gender expression or anything like that.

Clothing: Well, I like all sorts of clothing! But my favourite sort of fashion is the Candy Kid or Decora fashion. I love bright, girly, childlike imagery! Unfortunately, most jobs aren't okay with that... But I certainly try to express myself this way because I love it!

How did you find this website?: It was Google, hehehe.

Job: I'll keep that one private. But I want to go back to college and get more education and get a better job.

Plans for the future?: To keep living and being happy! But maybe, I think I'd like a lot of surgeries to be more feminine. And there's a lot of things I'd like to do like be a hardstyle DJ, or program video games, or be a neuroscientist, or help cure cancer and aging. I don't know what will happen in the future, I haven't quite decided yet, but I'm always trying new things.

What is your first name? Ronnie

Age: 21

Location: Florida, United States

Hobbies and Interests: Drawing, crafts, sewing/cosplay, video games, web comics

Why are you here? Through researching other things I'm diagnosed with and identify as I kept seeing mentions of Asperger's Syndrome. Therefore, I decided to look into it. As it turned out a lot of what I thought were just weird quirks of mine and me having incredibly bad luck with social situations matched what people with AS deal with as part of the disorder. I did a lot of research and after over a week of this I decided it might be a good thing to talk to people who have it and to share experiences to further confirm or deny what I think I might have.

What is your first name? Michelle

Age: 23

Location: AZ

Hobbies and Interests: art, philosophy, religious studies (atheist, however), knitting, reading.

Why are you here? I am certain that I have aspergers. I have been heavily researching the disorder for a long time now. However, I do not believe that I want to get a diagnosis. I have been to therapy in and out of my early adulthood for "anxiety". I was always intimidated by psychologists and it never helped me because I couldn't open up to them. I'm also here to see if aspergers is truly something that I can "relate" too. I'm honestly kind of lost right now.

Favorite subjects: Religion,

Favorite music: I love vocally talented musicians, singer-songwriters: Jason Mraz, Sam Smith, Queen, Florence and the Machine, Ellie Goulding.

Instrument: No... I wish

Do you like sports? No way.

Family: I have parents and sister.

Clothing: Whatever I would like to wear

How did you find this website? Google. That's pretty much the only way, i think

Job: Works for a very large large company getting paid very little.

Plans for the future? Hopefully To graduate college and get out of poverty. Trying to make a change in the world by trying a different approach.

Any comments? I usually don't do the whole Discussion form thing because I never am really understood by the majority of people... so I'm a little apprehensive and nervous going into this. However, I really do need to talk to other people like me. I don't even feel like more of "me" exist lol.

Plans for the future: my only plans are the pursuit of truth and the pursuit of happiness. The search for truth has lead me to science and to philosophy; at present, I am anticipating double majoring in physics and philosophy. I also anticipate going to grad school for physics. The pursuit of happiness, on the other hand, is more complicated than truth could ever be. It's not simple mathematics and I can't solve it like a puzzle. I'm still trying to determine what it is and how one goes about attaining it.

Anyway...that's me.
