Been looking to join this site for a while...always put it off...well time to let you know more about me: My name is Dante (my middle name actually, but I prefer being called that), been out of the military for three months (U.S. Air Force), the last base that I was stationed at was in Tokyo, Japan and I miss it greatly. But for now I am in the USA. Felt the need to find out who I really was back in 2006...found out that I had many traits of Asperger Syndrome...hit me like a ton of bricks...

2007 I went to war and had an epiphany to change myself, 2008 I celebrated seeing life in a new light with my friends as we all basked in the fun and merry times in Japan. 2009 I had 9 months left in the Air Force, so I started to read up more on Asperger's and autism in general...bought a good number of books made for aspies to read for future use.

And ever since November I've been doing my own personal development/ progression. Just taking it one day at a time. :afro:

Welcome to WrongPlanet Dante!

When I was little I used to live in Kobe, Japan, but I never got up to Tokyo. What do you miss about Japan?

The culture and the lifestyle. It fit me so well. Family and friends don't understand, but if they could have lived at least one year anywhere besides the USA, they would know...

I have quite a few, lol. And also a handful from when I spent 6 months in Korea. Oh, and thanks to everyone who made me feel welcome here.
