Favorite subjects: Philosophy, Animal Sciences, Anthropology.
Year/Grade: I am finished with formal education. I dropped out of high school after 10th grade but then I got my GED. I went on to college and majored in Philosophy but never graduated.

A sampling of my all-time favorite movies: The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, The Journey of Natty Gann, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, The Black Stallion, Pete's Dragon. Best recent movies include: Hotel Rwanda, Cast Away, Adaptation. I haven't seen very many movies this past decade due to my busy work schedule.

Many family members on my Dad's side exhibit definite signs of being on the spectrum somewhere, but no one but me seems to be aware of this. I also consider my 2 dogs, 10 cats and 50+ horses to be family as well!
Clothing: Comfortable clothes only -- especially jeans and t-shirts.
How did you find this website? From a forum at Aspie Hangout or AS and their Partners -- I can't remember which.

How long have you been in Fort Wayne?

Who got me onto this forum: indirectly it was a dear friend I have from my local Autism support group who has his own website. It includes links to Wrong Planet and other AS websites and I found this one through looking around on Wrong Planet.
Sports: don't like playing and never did. I suppose table tennis and volleyball are the ones I find a bit better than any others. I like watching cricket on the TV and occasionally the footy.
I've probably forgotten a couple of things but this is a start anyway.

I can't say for sure, but i think us aspies are drawn to sci-fi and magic fantasy books... I don't mean all of us, just a good majority, since we are all unique...
Anyways, I have all three Artemis Fowl books, all six Harry Potter books (well, not #6, but i've preordered it), and i've read the first two of the Alex Rider Adventures (and from what i can tell, MI6 is a lot cooler than our bunch of squabbling delegates in our CIA). As for Star Wars, I've seen all six, although i've forgotten the Trilogy. I have Episode I and II, and recently saw Episode III at the Malco down the street. Just FYI.
