In fact I wasnt gonna open a thread here, but then I thought of another reason to open one. I never did any self-introduction in any forums and in 3D I dont see the need for it and I definitely dont enjoy it if I am obliged to. So, seeing lots of people introducing themselves here, I wanna ask what is the motive behind this? Do they enjoy it or does it come as a natural action? I also wanna know if there are any people that feels exactly like me on the matter.

But for people that opened this thread for really knowing about the author, I am Umut from Ankara, Turkey, and I am a mechanical engineering student. I see myself as a mildly affected aspie.

I see it as a way for people to constantly welcome members, thus boosting their post count. Rather pointless to me, unless you have specific questions in the introduction.

for me, if I am understanding the question of this thread..... it is to express and identify with this condition... autism/aspergers.... possibly after having considered many diagnosis - so I guess its kind of like a sharing/confession/relief...experience... though YMMV as they say

It helps people know who you are like when you were diagnosed, or if you have AS or not and other things you want them to know about. I didn't post an intro either when I first joined and then after 100 posts I did. But under this account I didn't People can know more about me just by reading through my posts but good luck with 9,981+ posts.

Well, do not worry that you didn't introduce yourself... I only discovered that I truly like it here after a few hundred posts.

Just feel welcome here and have fun here!! ! :)
