Hi. I'm Bogie, and I'm a geek.

Post Reply New Topic

Not "diagnosed," but one of my shooting buds is an MD, and when I started talking about aspies with him, his reaction was "Gee, Chuck - I thought you already knew..."

I'm genius level, and tend to geek out on multiple things... Over time, everything from dinosaurs (got "lost" at a natural history museum once when I was about four - I knew where I was... ended up chatting with one of the folks who worked in the dino display...) to geology to fishing to shooting to photography, a/v gear (love jazz, blues, bluegrass), computers, what have you, etc... Scored 99th percentile in the college boards on verbal, lower on math/science, mostly because my high school was the pits for the math...

My father is one of the three guys who started the country's first "software only" computer company, my uncle was a rocket scientist, and my mother ran a pathology lab. My sister is basically a high performing neurotypical, my brother is pretty darn weird.

Hello and WELCOME to WP

Now that you already know,

you're ready too know.

You know?

Howdy, Bogie! Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey, welcome from another Aspie (though not too geeky) from a techie family.

"Hello," bogie. It’s a pleasure to welcome you to the WP.

Welcome Bogie, from an undiagnosed tehc freak aspie!
I first laid hands on a vax terminal when I was 7, wrote a couple words, and never looked back! Its good to see that aspergers is more of a positive than a negative when it comes to technology!

Enjoy your stay!

To WrongPlanet!! !

I didn't "get into" computers until college... And then I discovered the world available over the phone systems... Ran a BBS for a while, and now I also do some webjunk.

I've found that I can somewhat target the geek - And it's really cool when I can point him, he goes, and several days, a few pounds of coffee, and a case of twinkies later, I can do something else...

Is Peter Lorre with you?
