Hey all,

Just joined today...I am so glad to find out that I am not alone!

Anyway, I am an Aspie, with a kid who is probably an Aspie too...

Sick of being dx'd as "shy", I have had my share of issues, but I doing ok right now...LOL

Been working as a buyer at the same company for 9 + years...I really like the group I work with, and they seem to understand me. I only wish that I could work at home, b/c I would love that option! (I could do my entire job from home, if the CEO would allow it!)

Thanks!

PS: I took the Geek test on FB, guess what I got 10 out 10 on the test! Totally Geeky!

Anyway, enjoy your stay on the Wrong Planet!

No, this is the geek emoticon! :nerdy:
Welcome! :D
I think all aspies are geeks in one way or another. They may not be traditional computer geeks, but anyone with a strong interest in one particular thing can be classified as a geek.
