I pretty much fit under the geek category of asperger. Everything I do is pretty much about video games and computers, and I spend at least 6-14 hours a day with them, the only other thing being school. I've never really done that well in school since 5th grade. In 10th now, usually failing or near failing in every class except Algebra and anything with computers. Sometimes I do the work, sometimes I don't. I'm in the top 5% of my state on the state comprehension tests for math and reading. A star exam in 8th grade reported my reading level to be at or above college level. I don't enjoy writing at all unless I get to do it on a computer, and even then, I don't like it much. I usually do bare minimum at school to pass, and my mom doesn't understand it. She always complains and tells me that she used to clean carpets, do dishes, take out trash, feed animals, and all those other chores and tasks, along with some of her dad's work that he didn't finish in the office that he made her do. She doesn't understand that I stick to my own schedule and the things I like to do, and she doesn't really comprehend the differences in people. Whenever she sees someone different, or I say something about feeling downed or depressed, or anything of the nature, she always laughs at them, me, or just tells me that it's ridiculous and couldn't happen to me. For a couple years I always knew I had some disorder, or SOMETHING. I always searched around about depressions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many other things, and always thought I had an incredible number of different disorders, and I thought I was crazy or something. Then one day, my friend who was playing halo mentioned that Bill Gates has asperger's, while I was looking at some article about it. He said I probably had it, but I shrugged it off. Here I am, one month later, practically convinced I have it. If I tell me mom, she might hit me or something. She never understood me before, why would she start now?
Anyways, I'm 15 and I talk on MSN all day, really. I'm pretty lazy if it doesn't involve a computer or video game, and usually I won't get around to it at all. I'm not interested in having a job, house of my own, or going to college. I'd really just like to stay home all day by myself or with a few of my friends, never more than two or three at a time. In some classes I could be outgoing, like in P.E. depending on who I was talking to. Some people in my P.E. class sat around in corners like me, and we would hang out and talk about video games and stuff. A couple people that hang out with us are even more outgoing and have 1,200 friends on myspace. If you're wondering about my briggs personality typing, I took it twice, both times INTP.
If you want, you can reply or message me on msn or myspace at www.myspace.com/igmyzt.
The tag in my name, Infamous, is for InfamousGamerz, a clan...pretty much full of gamers and people who hack games. The website for our public page is my page on this forums if you would like to see it. They might not be too friendly to new people, but it depends on how you are.
Well, that's my life story, just about seems like it anyways.
