What is your first name?

Age: 38

Location: germany

Hobbies and Interests: history esp.19/20th century, north korea, collecting records, playing music (without any talent), psychology (interesting species these humans). there's a few other kind of "oscillating" interests. at the moment: female murderers and prisons. i also like statistical information very much, comparing numbers, sizes, tables...

Why are you here? i am still looking for "answers" on aspergers. i am very interested in other people's descriptions of their experiences. the complexity of that "different state of mind" is immensly fascinating. still the basic "symptoms" are somehow very often alike, only differing in severity. this site here is definitely the most informative one on the web.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): last year. by chance. having a diagnostic-odyssey behind me. a lot of shrinks were racking their brains, suspected me to have adhd, depressions, social anxiety, ocd and so forth... completely by chance i read a book about aspergers and was completely baffled: 90% strike. brilliant. support for adults with aspergers? here? good joke! you always have to fight those know-it-all smart ar**es who constantly explain to you that "real autists are much more obsessed with rigid routines, can't understand implicit language, know time tables by heart, are disabled or behave like this rainmain guy". these people then often let me know that i was way too normal to have aspergers... even worse are only those who try to understand you: "yeah i know, i also have these special days sometimes, when nothing seems to work out well".... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Favorite subjects: school? horror. horror. horror. people thought i was a bit "dim", as i often need a bit of time to consider my answers...then at some point i stopped to take an interest in class/studies, thinking i was too stupid for even the most mediocre academic laurels... quit school, failed at apprenticeship, ended up beeing unemployed for years...

Year/Grade:

Favorite music: 60s psychedelic, 80s/90s-indie, electro

Books: many. recently williams-stoner, ageiiev - cocaine, a lot of history and psychological stuff, great war, north korea, bio-psycholgy...

TV shows/Movies: fast show (still the best comedy series ever made), splatter, strange stuff from strange countries, martial arts, documentaries....

Instrument: guitar (lousy), bass guitar (poor), drums (pathetic - though i try hard), the piano (i was forced to practise it when young - totally in vain). i can't even sing properly. but i like to record "music" just for fun.

Do you like sports? no

Family: intricate story

Clothing: important. i am quite anti-autism-cliché concerning that. when younger i used to hang out in the same shabby clothing all the time (i even had a period of quite reduced personal hygiene) buuuuut times have changed...

How did you find this website? it simply was there. apparently it looked for me.

Job: something with a lot of alien people around (stress, horror, stress, horror)

Plans for the future? trying to get an opportunity to catch up on all those things i missed due to these special circumstances.

Any comments?

I've known about this website for a long time. I posted on it once but no one answered so I didm't go on it anymore. I'm trying again. My goal is to take some career training this summer and go into either banking or construction. Probably banking. I'm not so sure I'd be good at construction. I like to hang out with people one on one and and I'm honest, open, and loyal. I don't lie or try to take advantage or steal, even though I've had those things done to me many many times. I'm on this site looking to make new friends and find people to talk to. I'm not necessarily looking to meet anyone right away, but I am looking for someone (a friend) I can get to know and really talk to. Also on a side note, I'm a democrat/liberal-pretty much anything but a republican, I don't hunt and I'm pro-choice. You don't have to agree with me. Anyone else out there who doesn't get out as much as they would like to and is looking for someone to talk to, here I am.
