Well, thought I'd say hi. :D

Not sure how to introduce myself really, I never was good at introductions... BUT I'll do my best.

To start off, I have a passion for music. I can play several different instruments. Not at once and at about an average skill level... I can play any bowed instrument, as well as bass guitar and bowed guitar. I'm a huge fan of Sigur Ros and Morrissey.

My other interests are cooking and... well, I'm pretty limited in interests, unfortunately. v_v

What else to say... Oh, yes. Should say why I'm here in an autism oriented forum... I have asperger's syndrome. Never had any real problems from it aside from the standard sucking at socializing. Which I hate, 'cause I love talking to people. I was diagnosed, iirc, when I was about 12. Been a fun six years since. :D

I'm pretty girly. For a good chunk of my life so far, I've lived with my sister and mom. As a result, I'm kinda asexual. Like, the liking neither gender kind. I'm probably the least manliest man you'll ever meet, that's for sure. :D Especially since I have no problem with crying when something is sad or painful (Emotionally). Everyone else to have a problem though. >:l

Alrighty, I've introduced myself. How're you guys doin'?

Nice to meet you! I think I'm in a similar boat than the one you're in. I was raised by a house of women, too, with no male role model around. Then during my teen years, my best friend was a girly guy who eventually came out of the closet a few years later. So I'm betting you leave toilet seats down, just like me!

Anyway, I think you have the advantage of being diagnosed early on, so you can better understand it. I'm curious as to how it's effected your life since you found out.

I also pee sitting down. :D

As for how my diagnosis affected me, it opened my eyes, I was a pretty rage-filled kid, and it relieved a lot of my frustrations. I did rebel against it for a bit, I don't even know why now. But it has helped me grow and prosper, I'm a pretty happy guy now. :D
