What is your first name? Stephen
Age: 45
Location: Kentucky
Hobbies and Interests: Parenting, Computers, Video Games, D&D, and many others...
Why are you here? I seem to have several of the Asperger's characteristics, but I'm not ready to pursue an official diagnosis (yet). I'm here to connect with an Aspie community and learn more about it before deciding further.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Not diagnosed officially yet, but so far a few self-assessments strongly indicate it's likely.
Favorite subjects: Math, Applied Sciences, History
Year/Grade: A.A.S. in Computers & Electronics Technology, B.S. in Computer Information Technology
Favorite music: 80's Rock bands. First memory I have of an Aspie trait (or Special Interest) was the compelling need to memorize every Van Halen song ever produced....so that upon hearing part of one of their songs, I could instantly recite the band name, song title, album title, which track on the album it was located, the year the album came out, and (in later years) who was in the band.
Books: "The Deed of Paksenarrion" by Elizabeth Moon, all of the J.R.R. Tolkien books, and others...
TV shows/Movies: CSI (Miami and NY), Criminal Minds, NCIS (Original), X-Files, and other Sci-Fi shows/movies
Instrument: Trumpet & guitar
Do you like sports? Other than Track & Field in High School, no...I don't do sports. 
Family: Wife and 5 children, ages range from 9 to 25
Clothing: Casual while at home, Business Casual while at work
How did you find this website? Internet search for "Aspergers Forums"
Job: I.T. Specialist....currently working in a Data Center
Plans for the future? Raise my kids successfully & learn better how to minimize these Aspergers side-effects
Any comments? It's nice to know I'm not alone....that there's others with similar quirks as me...and that there's a valid term for it "Aspergers". Yay!

How did you find this website?
Reading a blog by a homeless guy (Kevin) in San Diego led me to take the assessment (link above) and that led to the ASD entry in Wikipedia and from there to WP 
I had been here before, but had got distracted 
and wandered off.
Job:
I was a computer programmer
Plans for the future?
To keep feeding my critters and maybe become an art therapist?
Any comments?
It would be welcome to find others similar to myself to relate to. This has been a long strange (and lonely) road so far.
