I am "ShadowsandRemedies," but if you'd like, you can just call me Shadow. Or Remedy.

I am actually here because my counselor said it might help me to meet others with my condition. I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 13, and now I'm 19, so... it's been six years since I've known. I have to say, the diagnosis seems to fit me pretty well.

As for a few things about me, well... I love video games, especially the Pokémon, Ecco, and Mother games. I also enjoy drawing—I may share my deviantArt account later on—and writing. yeah, I actually planned on writing a novel... got the prologue and first chapter done, but due to depression and grief, I haven't had the energy to continue yet.

Yeah, I should mention that. I'm also depressed, that's why I'm seeing a counselor. A depressed aspie.

I also went to college, but I dropped out for a semester because of the depression. I was going for computer science, because I'd love to be a video game programmer some day, but any programming job would suit me, I think. If my plans work out, I'll be going back in the fall.

Anyway... hello, and thank you for reading. I'm sure it'll be nice meeting all of you.

Hi, Shadow. Do you play Pokemon for fun, or are you interested in competitive battling? Nothing cheers me up like defeating an entire team with an Umbreon

First off, Welcome to Wrong Planet, Shadow!! !!

Second, please share your deviantArt!! ! I love seeing my fellow Aspie's artwork and I will add you to my watch list. Mine is ~FullMoonShadow.

I couldn't help but notice your location. Buffalo isn't too far from my hometown and I plan on transferring to SUNY Fredonia after I'm done at FLCC.

Thank you all for responding! :3

As for Pokémon, I do like making competitive battling teams, but I like playing with others in the Battle Frontier more than fighting against them... still, if you want a battle, I'm willing! Just send me a PM.

I put my deviantArtaccount as my homepage, then... my username is ToBeSomeoneLikeMe. I'll definitely watch you! And, it's pretty cool we'll be so near each other.

Yeah, my hometown is Canandaigua, aka, town with the worst public school system for acceptance of "different" people in the world.
