What is your first name? Calvin

Age: 25

Hobbies and Interests: programming, psychology, AI, languages, chess, music, CGI-acting

Why are you here? I'm just searching for something, I don't think I've found it yet, and so I'm trying to see where things will bring me

When were you diagnosed? I've been diagnosed by a psychiatrist to be on the on autism spectrum (a few years ago), but it wasn't at the clinic, so I don't know if it counts as an official diagnosis (and also to have a schizoid accentuation, which is interesting, since on the one hand I do indeed seem to not be interested in people, and on the other, I'm extremely curious about the human mind and soul, but it doesn't seem to be on a personal level, i.e. it seems like -- though it doesn't apply to few people i hold dear -- i lack this emotional connection with people who i don't know deeply, and was told by others that they felt coldness conversing with me, which however seems to not be the case sometimes, and there are some people who i didn't know well and yet i felt genuinely interested communicating with, mostly listening to their stories -- with great attention, but the explanation of this seems to be evading me, and I'm not even sure what the reasons in each particular case are).

Favorite subjects: probably AI (but i still have to learn it), psychology, programming, CGI, optimizing and automating things, digitising things, BCI, and I'm curious about combining AI and the human mind.

Favorite music: not sure... I'm in the process of trying to avoid dark, gothic music and gothic aesthetics, because I'm afraid it could affect my emotional and mental state somehow, and lead to darkness. But I was listening to a lot of gothic, dark, sorrowful music in the past.

Books: for some reasons i cannot read books, I start, but they don't interest me.

TV shows/Movies: I'm also in the process of revising what I'm watching and trying to not watch anything that could affect my mind negatively.

Instrument: i've played piano, but not playing currently. I hope some day computers could read information directly from the brain, so I could record music without the need to master an instrument.

Do you like sports? I like table tennis, but since there is no way to play it unless going somewhere or writing to someone to organize a game, i don't do any sports...

Clothing: anything that fits, and doesn't make me stand out too much. I try to not buy anything new, because i try to save as much money as i can and only buy the most important things, because i don't like working/haven't found a job which i would do with pleasure.

How did you find this website? By searching for topics about Asperger's.

Job: Freelance web developer

Plans for the future? I want predictability. I will move in with my family and try to find something I'm interested in. Perhaps psychology/AI mix? It's strange, I've learned Web Development, first as a hobby to make certain necessary programs, then as a financial opportunity. But I'm not sure if I really enjoy it. But this is the only way to make money for me. I don't have a degree. Preferably I could find a job in the industry where I would only have to talk to the senior developer, and won't have to stress out about approaching/writing to someone as it is with freelance.

I'm trying to figure out if I should perhaps pursue psychological analysis/something from a similar field, or perhaps it's an illusion and I'm not really good/won't be better at it than I would be at programming…
