What is your first name?: Because of how much mocking and ridicule has been thrown at me for my first name, especially by adult females in chronic illness support groups on Facebook (which I am now gone from), and by my now ex wife, there is no way in hell I'm going to give it here. Especially here.

Age: 53

Location: A midwestern county seat farm burg of population 8,000+ which was an antebellum river landing town then a railroad town and is now just a town.

Hobbies and Interests: The screen name covers a lot of it. Toss in space and rockets too.

Why are you here? Because I am not there.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Two decades later than would have been preferred.

Favorite subjects: In school? History, English, Geometry, Languages, Biology, Drafting, Art, Sociology.

Year/Grade: Got through 2 years of college.

Favorite music: I'm not sure how to describe it. There are limits on what I can listen to. Things are out if they have too high a pitch, too fast a pace, too many different sounds; and that last one wipes out a lot of contemporary music.
Something I like is: https://youtu.be/CcsUYu0PVxY

Books: Yes! I like them! Nonfiction about areas of interest. Science fiction. Am even, slooooooowly, writing a book.

TV shows/Movies: Don't watch any more; Can't watch any more.

Instrument: Don't play one but do like music.

Do you like sports? Mmm, sort of. Will listen to baseball games on radio. Football, USA style, broadcasts include too much of the crowd noise for me to cope with them.

Family: Yeah, have that. I have no children.

Clothing: Yeah, I use it. Cargo pants and tropical shirts are preferred warm weather attire. I get very cold very fast so sweats see a lot of use in cool weather. Winter is an ordeal to be endured.

How did you find this website? Been long enough ago that I don't remember. Was on for a few years then left for a few years.

Job: Not any more. Worked in retail and telecom on and off.

Plans for the future? Errr... that's an uncomfortable thing as my health seems to constantly shoot them down. I think I've quit planning for any future.

Any comments? "Any" opens up a lot of territory ... :lol: I like animals and have found myself ot be a cat person. Have grand memories of the two dogs of childhood.
(hmm, 'the two dogs of childhood', what kind of story could that be a title for?)

What is your first name?
William (you can call me Will)
Location:
UK
Hobbies and interests:
Video games, reading, watching movies, building computers
When were you diagnosed?
I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was seventeen.
Favourite subjects:
When I was in school I enjoyed English and the Sciences.
Year/Grade:
I am no longer in education.
Favourite music:
I like a variety of music but particularly enjoy songs with an obscure meaning that you have to think about, examples include songs by The Decemberists or Of monsters and Men.
Books:
Too many to name, I was a big fan of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings when I was growing up. I also enjoy "A song of ice and fire" and most things by Steven King.
TV Shows/Movies:
Again, too many to name, here's a few; Band of Brothers, Westworld, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump.
Instrument:
I don't play one, but would like to learn. The Hurdy Gurdy looks quite interesting.
Do you like sports?
Not particularly, but my work is active enough to keep me in relatively good shape.
Family:
I'm going to skip this one.
Clothing:
Solid colours, no logos or writing.
How did you find this website?
I stumbled upon it from a Google search.
Job:
I work as a Support Worker (REW) in a specialist college for those with an ASC, co-morbid conditions or learning difficulties who can at times present behaviours that challenge. Our service users consist of both higher and lower functioning students.
Plans for the future?
I'm quite easy going in terms of careers and have no particular ambition, I would like is to be entirely self sufficient, with my own property (no rent) and family.
Any Comments?
This is my first time using a Forum so please forgive me if I've formatted anything incorrectly or am ignorant of forum ettiquete. For the most part I have learnt to hide my Asperger's entirely and as such no one I work with or socialise with knows about it. Whilst I am happy for the most part, I do have feelings of isolation and an inabillity to connect with others in what I perceive to be a meaningful fashion. I joined WrongPlanet in order to connect with others who have had similar experiences and hopefully strike up a few friendships. So please feel free to send me a PM if you have questions for me or want to chat! :)
