Hobbies and Interests: Love reading and learning everything I can about serial killers. Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer is two of my favourites. I'm not a groupie, I just find it super interesting how minds work and what might
influence them into different actions.
I draw, almost all the time. Always have a couple of sketchbooks and a handful of pens with me.
Books are another obsession. And I write some pretty bad poetry.

Family: Mother, stepfather, step-siblings. Half brother on my fathers side, 7 years younger and "normal", we don't talk much but I love him to death. Don't like my father, he's not a nice man..

Clothing: Anything that feels good against my skin, I'm kinda picky.. Jeans are a favourite.

How did you find this website?: Google.

Age: 22

Location: Czech Rep.

Why are you here? I've long suspected an aspie out of me. Although i was made fun of by a couple of psychiatrist and diagnosed with things like social phobia, ocd, add, psychotic depression and mild schizophrenia, in the end i found some doctor who was willing to listen(or read as i can't talk to him well yet?) more. And when i was finally diagnosed to have aspergers syndrome i decided to find more people who share similarities and here i am.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I was diagnosed only a month ago!

Favorite subjects: Totally character design and illustration. (The lecturer who taught the illustration class was probably an aspie too)

Year/Grade: Waiting for graduation for which i must show them i can hold a job by doing an internship...

Favorite music: Mostly metal or instrumental movie musics.

Books: Kafka! Little Prince!
Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allan Poe, Paulo Coelho... just to name few writers that i like.
I like shamanic themes and have my own set of beliefs on it. My favorite one might be Harald Braem's Shaman.
I like reading abstract poetry and psychological themed books including self-help books. (I find books of Rudy Simone especially helpful)

TV shows/Movies: I like watching cartoons and animes... My favorite anime is Fullmetal Alchemist.
I watch cartoons like... Gumball, Regular Show, South Park and alike.
Favorite series might be Wilfred, Little Britain, Black Books maybe...
My favorite movie is Mary and Max. I watch everyday at least a movie and have severa movies that i keep watching.

Instrument: I do not play any.

Do you like sports? Nope, too clumsy. So much going on to keep up with that it makes me very confused if not any worse!

Family: I have two families. First is where i am the young child. My parents and my older sister are all great people and i appreciate their support a lot. Especially my sister is an incredibly capable person and she helps me with everything without ever judging. I might have sometimes difficulties showing affection to my core family but i love them very deeply. My second family consists of my partner, our cat and dog. I have great difficulty living with the dog and most of my meltdowns are caused by him. And yet the cat is my ultimate savior and we have many similarities with her.
My partner has also his own share of diagnoses and is on a disability wage.

Clothing: Comfortable and tight clothes with several loose layers on them in winter. I have inside and outside clothes and wear them everyday until they get smelly. Then i change into something else to wear and wash the first ones. It goes in cycles.

How did you find this website? Google

Job: Not yet found. But i work as a freelance illustrator for ridiculous prices.

Plans for the future? I hope to find a job and be independent. Freedom and a life without confusion are my only wish.
