Hello everyone,
My name is Brendon, I am 18 years old, I'm in 12th grade. I was diagnosed with Autism at about age 5. I had a hard to believing that I am even slightly Autistic my whole life, but when my mom found this website I started browsing it and what do you know? Many members have the same problems I do :S and I have all the symptoms. (was anyone like that too? denying it?)
Anyways, I've already posted on a few posts already, what a great community that I'm going to be a part of :D

Interests? well, I like the outdoors so I get out when I can, I like to work at a ski hill, ride snowmobiles and ATV, or even just a walk. But when I just feel like being inside I watch TV if anything good is on, play Xbox 360/PS3, go on my laptop and administrate a server and go on some forums.

And the problems I have as a result of Autism include:
Sensory overload (that's sensory overload if you hear multiple things and can't concentrate on one thing right?)
Sensory problems (like when I get hot it feels like tons of needles all over my body)
possible ADD (not sure)
Social interactions are usually awkward and I don't know if I'm saying the right thing.
...and maybe some others that I can't think of right now.

Best Regards,
Brendon

It's a blessing that there's one place in the world we fit - everywhere else, we're allowed as long as we don't break the rules.
