Hi everyone, this seems like a cool place

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've been reading posts for a few weeks and you all seem like a cool and articulate bunch of people.

I turn 26 in 2 months. I'm not diagnosed with AS, but I'm almost certain I have it because everything I've read and heard about it matches me. I can now objectively look at ways to change my life for the better, even though nowadays I'm an overall happier and more well-adjusted person than a few years ago.

I graduated with an Associate of Arts transfer degree from a local community college in Summer of 2006 and was an on-and-off college student after that until I decided that college/university isn't for me, at least for the moment. I may go back to school later, I just don't have the desire to right now and don't know what I want to study. I like to learn outside of school by reading non-fiction. I never had big career ambitions either. Currently I'm happier being a janitor because it's low-stress, a good work-out, I get to listen to my iPod most of the time, and I appreciate the honest and hard work it is especially after visiting a third-world country this past Summer. It's also hard for me to do customer service jobs; I had a very difficult time being a waiter at a restaurant, so I willingly chose to be a busser instead. I used to worry a bit about being a "lowly" janitor and and what other people (especially a potential girlfriend, or girls in general) would think of it, but I figured it ultimately doesn't matter because I'm happy with it. Anyone else have worries similar to that? I've learned to become and like being frugal too after my trip this Summer, so if I make enough money with a little bit extra, then I'm happy.

I enjoy working out, learning and practicing Kung Fu, and the online real-time strategy game StarCraft (well, now the sequel is out, I play that).
