Welcome to WrongPlanet

Sorry about your wrist injury.

Welcome Mayall! I like him too. Bottom and the Young Ones were really funny shows. I like it when he pops up in Blackadder too. Do you like CSI? I thought of that show when you mentioned about the "criminal mind".

thanxs GA for the welcome

Tom : i love all csi, the closer, the inside, cold case, Law and order, anthing with crime and solving it. I watch almost everything that airs..hehe. tv is my god

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon! Welcome!

Yay for having Radiohead lyrics Mayall.

I thought that instead of starting up a new thread in my own name, I would tag onto the end of this one. Ok, ready - let's do it:

Online ID: adversarial

I am 40 years old, live in London and am currently 'Jobseeking', which is a nice euphemism for 'unemployed'.

Interests of mine include Computers/Internet, Web Design/Coding, Science Fiction both written and Film/DVD based. I tend to prefer DVD to Cinema as you get to hear and see the film without the bobbing of heads, the crunch of Popcorn or the slurping of fizzy drinks.

I tend to read quite a lot when I am not on the Net, as I have plenty of time on my own and don't tend to go out too much. I also (selectively) watch some television, with the thumb hovering over the 'mute' button on the remote control, in order to squelch the irritating advertisements where necessary. Other than that, Music, some Talk Radio quietly and not a lot else, really.

My reason for becoming a member of wrongplanet.net and other sites should be explained; so here goes:

I have no formal diagnosis as it is impossible to get one in UK due to age and other circumstances. Even if I were to get a diagnosis that proved negative, the fact of such inquiries could compromise my future employment prospects with some employers, as they often want details of medical history.

I have taken just about every online test available, two of them I found out about here (thank you), plus a few others dotted around. The scores were very high/indicative but of course, the warnings not to take them <i>too</i> seriously are prominent. Perhaps the one thing that has piqued my interest is the fact that there are so many points of correlation between my own experiences and a great deal of what I have been reading on forums such as this one.

So, there it is. Somebody who things that there is a very strong correlation, but cannot commit to assigning a self-diagnosis, since even a curosry knowledge of psychology (with particular reference to the pitfalls of 'self-diagnosis'), makes such an option very uncertain.

Perhaps one reason I have finally registered to post, is to be able to settle my own mind for once and for all.

p.s. I had rather hoped that the initial message would show up on a blue background ...

Good to see you Adversarial! I'm glad you found us.

Thanks. Glad to have signed up at last.

Welcome!

Heres a welcome GROAR.

GROAAAAAAR

1 official groar. Job done

Welcome.

this really warms my heart and this is the only patethic post i´m ever gonna do..so here it goes.
where i live, in my hometown..or do you say community? whatever. I been alone for all this time, and never,ever had any contact with other aspies. I been the oddball ond the outsider since childhood.
always felt so ...wrong, and that i don´t belong anywhere. The responses i got today as i said..really warms my heart. im så darn glad to finally speak to other persons who really gets what i´m saying. Wow! "normal" people don´t get a thing i say, and they just don´t care. And i don´t get along with them either, every time i try to interact, i get burned or just used by them.
Like: im only something to have if they need anything from me, but they are not at all interested in what i feel or wanna say. I almost gave up it all...this with friends and so..till i got here, you see, i realised that i should probally (spelling?) only have Aspie friends, so, as i said, thanxs a lot for your welcomes, and that marks the end of my patheticness (spelling?)
Myall is here to stay.
