Heya, and so on.

I am a 23-year old Aspie from Queensland, Australia. I was diagnosed about 6 years ago by Dr Tony Attwood. I used be obsessed with Doctor Who, but have moved on to British comedy and various games, and am just starting to discover Stephen King as an author.

I am finishing my last semester at Griffith Uni, doing a degree in Health Science and hoping to get into a job in forensics. My interest in forensics preceded CSI by at least 2 years.

Feel free to make any comments.

Hi. Welcome to WrongPlanet.

What British comedies are your favourites? And Doctor Who is good stuff at the moment. :)

In rough chronological order:

Monty Python's Flying Circus

Fawlty Towers

Blackadder

Red Dwarf

Black Books

The League of Gentlemen

The games I like:

Final Fantasy series

Silent Hill series

Metal Gear Solid series

Resident Evil series

Devil May Cry 1 & 3

Legend of Zelda series

Parasite Eve 2

GTA: San Andreas

Legacy of Kain series

Project Zero (Fatal Frame to Yanks)

Warcraft III games

These are for reasons of storyline and gameplay.

Actually, I'm getting relatives in Scotland to tape the first few episodes of the new series and bring 'em over. Doctor Who , that is.

Not have broadband where you are? You could download them in better quality off the Internet then. :)

I do have broadband, but am not in the business of downloading entire episodes of stuff. I prefer clips. Do you know of sites that have video-clips from this new series? Aggedor.com had to remove theirs.

Oh, thanks. I haven't read much about it beyond the DSM-IV and some other stuff a shrinkologist gave me after diagnosis. It must have been in that material.
