What is your first name? Jamie
Age: 37
Location: USA
Hobbies and Interests: Finding new ways to keep "meltdowns" to under 10 a day sorry - been a rough week
Why are you here? I've always known my DS is "different" .. but, have never been able to put a finger on exactly how and what.. A neighbor told me I should look into Aspergers so here I am.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Not yet - DH is still convinced DS just needs to grow up. We've only talked about it twice so far so please don't think poorly of DH. He just doesn't want DS "labeled" by ignorant people. Heck, where we live 1st cousins are known to marry so ignorance is in abundance.
Favorite subjects: Right now .. DS is deeply into History - Civil War Era - and getting to "see" things through his eyes is making it mine too.
Year/Grade: I graduated in '89
Favorite music: all
Books: I enjoy Anne Rice - her writing style makes it so that if I have to lay the book down for a few days its easy to pick up where I left off.
TV shows/Movies: None - a battle thats just not worth having
Instrument: 6 string Bass, piano
Do you like sports? love all sports
Family: 3 boys, hubby and self
Clothing: comfortable and low maintenance
How did you find this website? google
Job: I was a structural/nuclear welder but, now a stay at home mom
Plans for the future? Typical parent stuff..try to figure out how to be the best mom for the boys and remember all 3 have their own special needs and their own personalities. Maybe do some sculptural welding at home when we get a smoother routine.
Any comments? Nice to meet everyone

What is your first name? Teri
Age: 25
Location: Houston, TX
Hobbies and Interests: reading... I'm a BIG reader, I tend to like fiction, because the "rules" of the worlds tend to be very clearly lined out, and the authors don't tend to break those rules, so things make more sense to me... I also play video games, my husband and I are huge gaming nerds , I used to crochet more before my hands got worse, I don't think I could do it for more than a few minutes at a time now, which bothers me
Why are you here? to learn, to communicate with others like me
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): undiagnosed, and avoiding more doctors like the plague
Favorite subjects: science, anatomy, biology, I'm a nursing student, so I think my interests are clearly in line
Year/Grade: I'm in college, after many years hiatus, I think I would be classified as a third year freshman since I've only JUST declared my studies, but I have some classes under my belt...
Favorite music: instrumental, as long as its calming, I don't like frenetic music... alternative rock is ok but it depends on the song, I can't listen to rap, or hard rock... I get too anxious, indie music is ok, country is typically ok... my favorite stuff to listen to has to be Guitar music ie: Otmar Leibert!
Books: I'm into paranormal fiction, science fiction, the rules of the world has to be clearly defined, and I'm good. Its really annoying when a specific genre has a set rule book so to speak about how the world the author is writing about is supposed to work, and they break the rules because they want their world to be "unique"
TV shows/Movies: again science fiction seems to dominate most of my viewing pleasures... nerd shows, I don't "get" shows like sex and the city, or gossip girl...
Instrument: trumpet, french horn, bass guitar
Do you like sports? not really... I can watch somethings if I have to...
Family: I am married and I have a beautiful baby girl (16 months), I have a mom, and a dad, a younger brother, and quite a bit of extended family.
Clothing: I try to wear what is comfortable, I TRY to keep up with fashions, somewhat, just so I don't stick out like a sore thumb any more than I already do, but I don't always manage it too well, and seem to be unable to pull the fashions off, or they are uncomfortable... I tend to wear the same things over and over again, so they tend to get worn out fairly quickly... I don't like scratchy fabric, or slinky fabric, so cotton clothes are my favorites, I don't like tags, so the new "tagless" clothes are pretty cool as far as I'm concerned, otherwise I cut out the tags of my clothes because they bother me...
How did you find this website? through facebook actually, a bunch of my facebook friends were passing around the Autism Spectrum Quotient test, I took it, and got fairly high on it, started doing obsessive research, found a few other tests, and eventually found this site
Job: Student and Stay at home Mom, but I'm looking for a part time job to help bring in some more money for the family.
Plans for the future? I would like to eventually get my Doctorate in Nursing, and become a Nurse Midwife with Lactation Consultant Certification. I've become really obsessed with natural options when it comes to pregnancy, and parenting, since having my own child.
Any comments? just hope that I can learn something from you guys!
