What is your first name? Mel
Age: grown up, adult, a bigger number than I want to think about, but I feel 12 most of the time
Location: Boston
Hobbies and Interests: sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING. Except sports teams. Everything else, and everything my kid is interested in too. Hoping to learn rock climbing next. I've been putting it off because I'll have to learn from someone (like, a rock climbing teacher) but I guess I'll just have to deal with it because I really want to try it.
Why are you here? undiagnosed Aspie, but from reading here it sounds like I fit right in. Also, diagnosed ADHD & other stuff.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): within the past few years
Favorite subjects: just about anything (except pro sports!)
Favorite music: Tom Waits and random other stuff
Books: anything that fits on my ipod. can't deal with paper books because you have to sit still to read them.
TV shows/Movies: 30 rock, The Office, lots of others too
Instrument: not really musical.
Do you like sports? yes!
Family: I have one child, & I'm single
How did you find this website? searching for information on Aspies
Job: cube dweller, working with numbers
Plans for the future? to get a social life
Any comments?

Age: 24.
Location: Washington State.
Hobbies and Interests: They vary; I don't really have any strong ones. Currently it's sort of alternative art I guess. I used to play video games like crazy but now I don't play them so much anymore, although I am starting to have a revived interest in my old Dreamcast.
Why are you here? Not sure; I've taken part in mostly all of the major communities though since about late 2000.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): August of 2000. Never been the same since...
Favorite subjects: Psychology, Philosophy, Theology.
Year/Grade: Graduated from H.S. in 2002, graduated from college with a B.S. in Psychology in 2006.
Favorite music: Boards of Canada, Daft Punk, Jackson and his Computer Band, Devo, Polysics (they recently had a concert near here and I missed it! Damn it...), some others I'm sure.
Books: A Corpse in the Koryo, MPD Psycho, Azumanga Daioh, Gold Rush, about half of everything that Banana Yoshimoto has written.
TV shows/Movies: LOST, Azumanga Daioh, just about all movies made by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Takashi Miike, Hostel Part I and II, Thank You for Smoking.
Instrument: I used to play the trumpet when I was in Middle School; I sucked at it. I wanted to play the saxophone instead but my parents wouldn't let me. When I was about 17 I had a fleeting interest in drums, but when I finally got them I barely touched them. Looking back I sort of regret that...
Do you like sports? Depends what the sport is I guess (Tennis and Handball are sort of neat), but generally no.
Family: Mother who is on chemo for the second time, Father who I have mild/moderate conflicts with, a younger Sister who I get annoyed with moderately but for the most part is alright, and a younger Brother who years ago I used to sort of hate (due to him hating me) but now we're good friends.
Clothing: I wear stuff from the Gap/Old Navy. They are pretty nice clothes but I've had most of them for years (some of my winter clothes date back to when I was in High School!). My mom keeps buying me new clothes all the time, but I only wear a small portion of them.
Job: Right now I'm just a student. I've tried to find them in the past, but I've had some pretty bad luck. This will change eventually, though.
Plans for the future? I am going to try to get a Master's in Experimental Psychology starting next August and then hopefully move on to obtain a PhD. Hopefully I can get this all done by the time I am 30. Someday, I hope to do academic research concerning various disorders.
Any comments? Nice to be here, I guess.

Why are you here?: Because I don't quite fit in at other forums, but it seemed like I might here
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
Favorite subjects:
Year/Grade: Nothing right now. I dropped out of high school due to health issues, but I'm starting community college in the spring.
Favorite music: Ooh.. lots. 80s new-wave, folk, gothic/darkwave, oldies (doowop). Favorite bands/artists are Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Emilie Autumn, Concrete Blonde, Therion, VNV Nation, The Smiths, David Bowie, Antony & The Johnsons, Chris Isaak, Nina Simone, A Perfect Circle

Instrument: I have no musical talent.
Do you like sports?: No.
Family: Older sister, younger [autistic] brother. I live with my mom.

How did you find this website?: Search engine
Job: No job. I'm kind of passively looking for one
Plans for the future?: escape. I do *not* want a normal life, I will not be happy with that. If that means I'll be homeless, so be it. Ideally I'd like to just go where the wind takes me and live here and there, not in one place-- and eventually settle in a cabin in the woods or in Ireland.
Any comments?: No.
