Just the tip.

First Name | Not Sino.
Age | Not 45.
Location | GMT -8.
Hobbies, Interests | An unfortunate number of things: astronomy and astrophysics; political science; ancient world history; mythology and folklore; dabbling here and there in linguistics. Picking up a pencil again after years of neglecting my doodles. Writing fiction and poetry by day, tutoring by night (and sometimes the afternoon). Thinking of getting into calligraphy, and by extension, not sucking as much at 中文. Fascinated by lines, shapes, chiaroscuro, typography, themes of incompleteness and isolation; and, increasingly, surreal horror.
Why here? | Blame Wikipedia.
Diagnosis? | Not yet, at any rate.
Favorite Subjects | You can sell just about anything to me if you're a good enough instructor.
Favorite Music | Jazz is my main jam, but I'll take blues, classical, alternative and psychedelic rock, ethnic and folk, and certain electronic artists. A lot of indie artists on my playlists: Radiohead, Jaco Pastorius, 0edit, George Colligan, The Raah Project, Deerhunter, Ali Jackson, Bon Iver, etc. etc. No iPod - I commit favorite tracks to memory and play them back whenever I'm feeling it.
Favorite Books | Plenty. Ender's Game; A Visit from the Goon Squad; A Hologram for the King; Stargirl; Watchmen; and so on. The room is a mess of Juxtapoz, The New Yorker, and literary magazines.
Favorite Movies | Not many, but Pulp Fiction has never let me down. I enjoyed Citizen Kane and Bonnie & Clyde; more recent fare would include Guardians of the Galaxy (that thing is two hours of tech porn, and it's awesome), Django Unchained, Sexy Beast, and Nightcrawlers. Getting into Ghost in the Shell, and already thigh-deep in all things Cowboy Bebop.
Instruments | I play keyboard. Clic-clac-clic-clac-clic-clac...
Sports? | Only if I get to play them. Watching it on TV must be the greatest waste of time since manually slicing bread.
Clothing | Black. Not goth, not emo, but the color is wonderful. Otherwise, darker primary colors, and anything with a suitably abstract design. Fractals are a plus, or will be in any case.
Job | I tell people that their essays suck, and I get paid for it. It's nice.
Plans? | Wouldn't still be in 大学 otherwise. Probably collabs and things of that sort - I tend not to hate artist-type people as much.

What is your first name? -

Age: 32

Location: Northern Europe

Hobbies and Interests: I like going for walks (not during panic attacks periods), my animals, taking pictures of my animals, reading, shopping, fashion and beauty, cooking healthy food and learning new things. The Internet…, looking at funny cat pictures and other silly things.
Why are you here? I am trying to accept who I am. That AS is a part who I am. I have always been ashamed of it, for me getting the diagnosis at 17 was like getting kicked in the face. It was a like I was officially disqualified from the real world.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): 2000

Favorite subjects: When I was in school it was history, literature and art.

Year/Grade: -

Favorite music: Depends on what I’m doing or feeling, but in general nothing to noisy or screechy or containing screaming or irritating sounds.

Books: Mostly fantasy, detective, historical

TV shows/Movies: Same as with books and Sci-Fi.

Instrument: None

Do you like sports? Depends, for exercise that makes me feel better and that I can do by myself. Otherwise I can watch sports sometimes on TV, but only big international contests.

Family: Partner, cats, rabbits

Clothing: At home I wear cozy and casual clothes, when I go out of the house I would describe my style as casual/feminine/simple/cute/modest. I like soft colors for the most, a lot of grey, beige, light blue, navy, soft green, white and blush. But sometimes I wear something red or stronger in color; it depends on my mood and has to be the correct shade. I basically dress to look nice without drawing attention to myself, I like blending in.

How did you find this website? I was searching for information about AS.

Job: -

Plans for the future? Trying to be healthy and happy,and not so afraid of everything

Any comments?

Favorite subjects: Theoretical physics, psychology, history

Year/Grade: 2015

Favorite music: Almost any, from Baroque to Volksmuzik. I like electronic music and Volksmuzik because I find the repetition soothing.

TV shows/Movies: Huge Kaiju movie fan. I love "bad" movies, e.g. early John Waters films. As far as TV goes, I like Criminal Minds and Bones for the obvious reasons, and Archer.

Any comments? With all due respect to everyone else, I loathe the terms "Aspie" and "Aspergerian". I don't identify with Asperger's, I just happen to be an individual who was born with it, and don't care to be labeled as such.
