A friend of mine from a different type of forum, told me about this place. When I find what his name is on here, I can add him as one who reffered me on here, if he would not mind that.
I am one that had been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome I think around the age of 16 or 17, my memory is hazy on that. I do know I also have Tourettes Syndrome which would manifest as motor tics involving my spine and neck jerking and sensations or "pressure". I also apparently have ADHD.
I do not really pay much attention to it all as I do not really believe that I should allow societal labels hinder who I am as a person and my ability to do things. Sometimes, my mind does a good job of hindering and whatnot. Silly as that may sound.
My growing up story is quite long winded and perhaps interesting. I am simply happy to even be alive, as due to certain aspects of my birth, I could have very easily have died. around 2 months premature, weighing 2 pounds, having stillborn twin, me not getting enough oxygen and being in some incubator for 2 months or so. I am adopted, as due to biological parents doing abusive things to me, involving a broken arm and what I suspect to be cigarrette burns or scars on my hand, and one on an inner thigh as well.
For me, the parents I have now are my parents as they raised me into the person I am.
For those of you interested, I have taken a certain personality test through the years, and always get the same result. Perhaps others here may find the information to be interesting, and maybe curious to see what their results are.
EDIT: Seems I will have to add them at a later time due to certain restrictions. You could I suppose look up INFJ into a search engine and look for links that start with
personalitypage DOT Com
typelogic DOT com
Normally I would be iffy about online types of test, but it indeed quite interesting how spot on it was for me.
I am 25 years old, and male. As for sexual preferance. Right now is unknown. I could label myself as Pansexual, my definition meaning that I would not care aas to the physical gender of a person (as ther are genders that are not just the binary view of Male and female) but also more about the inner part of a person. I simultaneously may label myself as nonsexual.
I have endured a lot growing up. All school life being teased and tortured for being different. Normally, with such things, others may inadvertantly repeat the cycle of pain and suffering, but for me, I have turned it around and used it to attempt to help others. And know what ways NOT to act.
I am one that is very fond of Video games (and I suspect my collection of such to be quite decent), I also enjoy anime & manga of various sorts. Sometimes, I wish I could jump into the universe depeicted in some and wish to try and help solve certain issues or be abl to offer a form of friendship to characters in the attempt to stop certain pain and suffering they may be dealing with.
My parents, mom especially are usually surprised at how deep and wise I can at times be. I have on numerous occasions acted as a form of counselor to my mom when certain things are upsetting her. She says she feels bad as she feels the roles should be reversed. I simply tell her that I am the way I am. I do not seem to have issues, and I have the mental fortitude and whatnot to be able to be of assistance to others.
I also enjoy music a lot. Sometimes, I find music can help drown out of calm down my mind which at times can be in what I have labeled in a "Hyperactive thinking speed". At night at times, it can be so bad that it makes it hard for me to sleep. ^_^;
I am easy going, friendly and usually open to the questions of others. I find art interesting, mainly things of a drawn manner, sometimes stories as well.
I have what might be deemed, unique views on aspects of reality and whatnot. One of which is where I suspect or think that things that in this realm of universe and reality, that are labeled as fiction, are in fact real in universes and whatnot that may be barely connected to this one simply due to the mental link others have. Those who are artists and writers, I feel have the skillset to take what they may "see" or even experiance, and be able to transfer it into a physical media which can be shared by others.
Anywho, perhaps I should wrap this up. If you have other questions you feel like asking me, please feel free to ask.
I have work tommorow so my ability to reply will be hindered. I just hope that I remember this site when I actually get back as sometimes my memory can get..... fuzzy,
I hope everyone is doing well or halfway decent in these trying times.
