First Name: Jerald

Age: 18

Location: The U.S.

Hobbies and Interests: Gaming, Reading, Writing, Politics, Stocks, Fantastical Stories, Mythologies, Baking, Drawing, ect.

Why are you here?: I honestly have no idea. To interact with people like me? To provide input for people's problems? To simply describe myself out of a sense of vanity? I haven't the faintest clue.

When were you diagnosed?: During the summer. Maybe when I was a Sophomore in High School?

Favorite Subjects: Creative Writing, History, Culinary, Accounting.

Year/Grade: I'm a Senior in High School. 12th Grade.

Favorite Music: Anything that has a deep meaning behind it. Although, as a whole, I like Classical the most.

Books: Oh, I've read many, although I have no completed many series. I'd say my favorites are the Pendragon and Tapestry series. The first books of American Gods and Dragon Crown are also good, although I've only read the first. I also like the Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter series as well.

TV Shows/Movies: In terms of TV Shows, I am quite a drifter. By myself, I'd say my favorite shows are the anime "Pet Girl of Sarukasou" "Serial Expirements Lain" and "Shiki". (Not a Weaboo, or Otaku or whatever anime fans call themselves) With others, I enjoy Gotham and American Horror Story. My favorite movie that I can remember is Howl's Moving Castle. Also, I quite enjoy a good documentary, be it with others or by myself.

Instrument: I can play a form of drums I've pegged "Conversion". Simply put, I can take lyrics and other instruments (Some, like electric piano, don't work. However, normal piano and string instruments are usually easy) and convert them to drum beats using my mind. I can't play normal drums, though.

Do You Like Sports?: Not particularly, although I do enjoy a sport called Boffing.

Family: I have lots. We are more like a clan than a family, though. It's hard to put to words.

Clothing: I prefer button ups and flannels over a T shirt, closed. Also, over the button ups I like to wear wool coats, sports coats and regular jackets, almost always open. For pants, I prefer jeans and slacks. For shoes, boots, running shoes and sneakers are my forte.

How did you find this Website?: Don't remember.

Job: I hope to be an accountant. Right now I'm simply a student.

Plans For the Future: To get an accounting job and move to an apartment that is within walking distance from my work and/or a grocery store.

Clothing: I usually just wear a band or anime tee shirt, skinny jeans, and my sneakers, but that's really only because I don't have a lot of money to spend.

How did you find this website? I just randomly googled "musicians you have crushes on" or something along those lines, and scrolled through various forum sites until I came across this one. Upon getting on the website, I took a quick gander at what it was about, and joined~

Job: Student.

Plans for the future? I wanna be a fashion designer or maybe a musician. Maybe a graphic artist? I dunno. As long as it's not math I'll do it.

Any comments? Off the top of my head? No.

I've started writing here in 2010, and stopped at about 2011 or so I think, so I must've already answered that. Still, I would like to again, if it's okay. Perhaps my answers will be different this time:

What is your first name? Omer

Age: 26

Location: Israel

Hobbies and Interests: Politics, History, American Football, Music, Languages

Why are you here? Because I want to be somewhere I could belong, and feel that people can understand me, perhaps

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): First time? 2011, I think. But I've been through several therapists. With my current one, whom I'm seeing for the last 3.5 years, I didn't insist on it at first, as he didn't quite see it. Now when I felt it must be addressed, he agrees, certainly after knowing me better than some first impression. He also apologised for being quick to judge otherwise, although he doesn't even remember. Probably because I just mentioned it during our first meetings, and he didn't want to talk about it just then, so I left it. I like him. I know that therapists aren't really taught a lot about Asperger's, and he's really great with me. He doesn't tell me what I think like other therapists, just offers some explanations, and trusts me to give those suggestions a thought.
