What is your first name? Fabs

Age: 48

Location: Rural Belgium

Hobbies and Interests: Not a lot at the moment tbh. Too many other things on my mind.

Why are you here? To find myself, or something like that...

When were you diagnosed?: On a waiting list to be tested. It's two years long though but am looking into paying up to go private. Had my first encounter with psychiatry aged 10. Have always refused to accept a diagnosis based on symptoms that didn't address the causes. Have a ten-year realization that I have an attachment disorder but have been told no doctor in the country will be prepared to give me an official diagnosis

Favorite subjects: Philosophy, social history

Year/Grade:

Favorite music: Anything but jazz or opera. Mark Knopfler is my favourite guitarist.

Books: The Many Coloured Land by Julian May is a must reccommend from the past. Can't manage whole books no more.

TV shows/Movies: Not much

Instrument: Tried guitar in my younger years and drumming in my twenties. Now I sing when driving alone.

Do you like sports? Not particularly. Used to cycle for a living. Lots of rambling as a child.

Family: partner who is possibly AS but has no need for self-analysis let alone diagnosis, daughter that was diagnosed AS oct 2012. A mother in denial that I can only handle in small doses. I can count on one hand the times she has held or hugged her grandchild. One estranged sister with a weird dog. Various other family that are no bloodline and therefore I have no obligation to beyond New Years wishes.

Clothing: The bane of my life

How did you find this website? Can't remember now, probably googled 'autism forum'.

Job: None

Plans for the future? Get up in time in the morning and not to get stressed out when I (eventually) find the Kinder Eggs packaging that my DD nicked yesterday.

Any comments? I'm a cultural relativist. I'm neither religious or consider myself spiritual but I do have my own beliefs. I'm 100% Hindu according to an online religion test (that I found on in the WP philosphy forum).
I'm a compulsive kind-of self analyser too but that has everything to do with my rather eventful life early years in Belgium and having lived in Netherlands aged 17-21. I'm not very computer savy but love the bulletin style of this board. It reminds me of better days in the UK. The last nine months have been downhill. Wrong Planet has given me hope
Oh, and i have no idea how to use spell check.

Books: Anything Sci-Fi/Fantasy, especially Robert Heinlein, mystery, humor, basically anything I can get my hands (or eyes) on.

TV shows/Movies: Most recent favorites are Eureka and Warehouse 13 (hence the screen name), older favorite - Northern Exposure. I don't watch very much in the way of current TV or movies because I'm easily visually/aurally overwhelmed.
