SO ABOUT ME!! !

Everything that exists on earth is but the transient form of appearance of some celestial agency. Everything terrestrial has its prototype, its primordial cause, its ruling agency in heaven. The Chinese philosopher, looking at the beauties of nature, the variety of hills and plains, rivers and oceans, the wonderful harmony of colour, light and shade, sees in it but the dim reflex of that more splendid scenery frescoed in ethereal beauty on heaven's starry firmament. He gazes at the sun, that dazzling regent of the day, and recognizes in him, as his terrestrial reflex, the male principle of creation, ruling everything that is under the sun. He lifts up his eye to the moon, the beautiful queen of the night, and sees her reflex on earth, in the female principle, pervading all sublunary forms of existence. He observes the swift rotatory course of the five planets, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Saturn, and sees their counterpart on earth in the ceaseless interchange and permutations of the five elements of nature, wood, fire, metal, water and earth.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I have some diagnoses with not fit properly in important points. I'm still back in the process to sort out how I could built my life, so that it doesn't overburden me. Luckly I remeet a 'doctor' who made the proposal to let me test on Asperger's. He knows me many years (with long gaps) so I'm nearly sure I will say: "yes, let's test". But I nearly always thought I have some kind of parts of 'autism light' since I know about autism. When I learned about it was before the therms of Asperger has been. With this last week of research it is now kind of: I know.

^^^hiya Scouse welcome to WP

What is your first name? Too unusual to reveal

Age: 37 (despite what the sidebar thingy says)

Location: San Francisco, CA

Hobbies and Interests: Walking and hiking, audiobooks and podcasts, video and word games, origami, wondering what my cat is thinking, photography, drawing, and making lists.

Why are you here? Diagnosed high-functioning autistic (don’t love that nomenclature but I haven’t fully explored alternatives) at 36, struggling with depression and anxiety as well. I guess I am looking to connect with people who are “like me” and as a child of the internet 1.0, this is delightfully reminiscent of message boards of old.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Last November

Favorite subjects: I am not in school anymore but I definitely loved any class in which the teacher demonstrated genuine enthusiasm and I think that is true across all disciplines

Year/Grade: I’m in 31st grade

Favorite music: Oh man this question is so nostalgic UGH. I love a good singer-songwriter, a whiz at the ol’ turntable, a wordsmith of the hip hop persuasion, and also lots of classic rock

Books: I am mostly a fiction person, but lately I’ve gotten into memoirs from people dealing with psychological challenges, plus treatises on race in America. Best book of recent memory is Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann

TV shows/Movies: TV: The Big Four (The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men), Twin Peaks, Seinfeld, Orphan Black, Bojack Horseman, plus anything that is different from what I expect. Movies: I have so many favorites. The three movies I’ve seen the most number of times are Blue Velvet, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and All That Jazz.

Instrument: piano, voice (learning drums too)

Do you like sports? I’d like sports a lot more if sports fans weren’t so terrible. I was on the swim team in high school.

Family: Nuclear growing up, presently just my partner and my cat.

Clothing: Modest but well-fitting

How did you find this website? I honestly can’t remember

Job: electricity policy analyst and fraud investigator

Plans for the future? Uh, just survive for now

Any comments? Discovering my autism was my first step toward accepting and forgiving myself for so many things from my past that I’d assumed happened because I was a bad person. Is that too personal? Also I am not good at boundaries haha
