Any comments?
I have never fit in anywhere and I'm a social outcast. I thought I'd outgrow this awkwardness by now, but I am still unable to meld completely with society. I knew I thought 'differently' than most people, and that something was fundamentally wrong with the way I perceived the world. 7 years ago I think I found out why, when my psychologist tested me for AS, and was diagnosed with it later that year. I look forward to reading posts in this forum and hopefully be able to converse with people of like-mind.

_________________
So simple, it's complicated
Name's Jan. I'm 20 and live in Prague (Czech Republic) with my parents right now. I'm interested in GNU/Linux and anime. I'm here because of... yeah... I've read about Hans Reiser on Slashdot, then followed the link, read about AS on wiki and booom, I found myself having most of symptoms.
About art; I like Happy Hardcore music, try Hardcore on di.fm and hear for yourself. I've tried learning how to draw (obsessed with manga and anime), but failed. My hands... awww... just don't seem to move right. I like reading science fiction and fantasy, but I've never actually written anything. I don't like sports.
Yeah, I have family. No I don't have any clothing. Just kidding... I have some.
Job? Yep, got one. Future? More work?
