Age: 15

Hobbies and Interests: philosophy, guitar, comic books

Why are you here? I don't know

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): A couple of years ago, a psychiatrist told me that I probably had Asperger's Syndrome, but I don't think I've been officially diagnosed.

Favorite subjects: philosophy

Year/Grade: about ten credits from an Associate of Arts Oregon transfer degree

Favorite music: The Beatles, Nirvana, System of a Down, etc. Hard rock with melody. Also enjoy Mozart, Beethoven, John Williams, movie scores.

Family: I'm close to my parents, my sister, my niece (10) and nephew (8), my dog, and my cousin (14).

Clothing: whatever's comfortable, cheap, and doesn't look too bad

Job: currently on disability for major depression, taking classes

Plans for the future? I'd like to teach philosophy, but I'll probably be fifty by the time I get my MD.

Any comments? This is my first post.

Didn't speak until I was three. Gifted student early on but barely graduated from high school. Was in TAG and Olympics of the Mind. Won a writing competition in middle school and represented my school district at the Oregon Writing Festival. Have been a complete failure since then (as defined by society).

I don't think that having Asperger's is a disorder. I think modern society is just torture for people who don't fit the mold. I once read a novel called Ismael which suggests that the expectations of modern society have much the same effect on human beings as a cage has on animals in the zoo. Only caged animals display the same "mental disorders" as humans.
