Location: Alexandria, Virginia

Hobbies and interests: Reading, writing, 1960s bands and music, comedy (especially sketch comedy), theatre, teaching, animals.

Favorite subjects: English and theatre... and music.

Why are you here? To meet people with AS. I feel as though you might find a great, understanding friend in me.

Year/grade: I just graduated college in May of 2009.

When were you diagnosed? I haven't been, but several of my family members and friends have told me that they think I might have AS. I know I have several symptoms (and I don't mean the stereotypical "internet loner" kind... although I'm kind of that way, too. )

Favorite music: Rock and roll, generally from the 1960s through 1980s. A few current artists that I love are Flight of the Conchords, Garfunkel & Oates and Barenaked Ladies.

Clothing: Jeans, funny t-shirts (at least to me), Converse All-Star shoes in different colors

How did you find this website? I searched on Google for an AS community so I could make some friends.

Job: I just got hired as a hostess at a restaurant in my area. I'm already getting so antsy-nervous about it that I'm thinking "what if I find a better job?" before I've even worked a day. Heh.

Plans for the future? I want to write funny books for children.

Any comments? I look forward to chatting with you all!
