Introducing Ulf - newly arrived to this planet!

Hi folks,

I've been orbiting this planet for the last week or so, and decided to come down and stay for a while. I've known for a fair while I was an Aspie, and then had the diagnosis to make sure I wasn't over-intellectualising it.

I chose Ulf as my username since it means wolf in one of my cradle-languages and I've always been a lone wolf, you might be surprised to hear.

I learned well to mask socially and in my job, but it costs, as you know so much energy that it just simply burned me out. I'm now free to be me, and follow my hyper-interests in books and music and philosophy. When I first started playing a woodwind instrument, for the first time in my life, there was the desired level of connection and physicality between sound and my body, since the breath, the air column, and the resonances of the mouth and face directly affected the quality of the sound that came out. This was a musical instrument that was intimately connected with the body and the mind: musical knowledge, dexterity, physical control, physical connection to the sound in a more direct way than I had previously had.

I experience writing and collecting books and ideas in much the same kind of way. I also had hyperlexia and hypercalculia as a little alien wolf. That's enough for now I think.

Hello, Ulf, welcome to WP

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Ulf is a nice and unique username, I'll definitely remember it.

Welcome to WP!

Welcome to WP!

Welcome.

Welcome to wrong planet, your story sounds familiar. I know that you consider yourself a lone wolf, but even a lone wolf belongs to a pack as wolves are very social animals. Hopefully this site can be a kind of pack, a place where you can be with your own kind.

Welcome to our pack .

Hello Ulf. Welcome...

Thank you everyone
