Hey there!

Post Reply New Topic

I just wanted to send out a quick hello, and start putting out "feelers" to see who is out there - maybe meet a few of you. I have only been a member of this forum for about fifteen minutes. This will officially be my second post. I'm not going to lie - what I am about to do is basically "copy and paste" my first post (which was a response to someone else's "hello" thread), but the truth is that it took a great deal of energy and concentration to get it out the first time, and upon reading it I don't think that I could state it any better second-time-around. (Plus, I need to be getting back to work...) So, in short:

I have been a member of this forum for all of five minutes. This is my first post. I'm also not officially "diagnosed" by a "professional", but I have known that I have Asperger's since I first learned about it, and have also passed all of the online tests with flying colors. I'm high functional, have a job, a girlfriend of eight years, currently traveling the world (while working online.) Most people don't realize my condition upon meeting me - it takes a while. But, eventually, I will say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, accidentally rock back and forth in public without noticing, etc. I could probably live a completely normal, seemingly transparent life so long as I kept my friendships at arms length, but tendency is to want to get to know people. I'm not even exactly sure why I am on this forum, or how long I will stay. In fact, just responding to your welcome post is taking a great deal of effort. I guess, recently, I have decided that it's time to address this condition rather than dodge it. I want to know more people "like me." Maybe I have something to offer. Maybe I can learn something. My goal is to live a fantastic, eventful, amazing life. I prefer to think of this as a personality shift rather than as a disability. I like myself, and don't want to change. Or "cope." I am interested in other people's experiences, how others "see me", and how to make the best of (or improve) my social character, in order to comfortably and confidently live my life, share experiences with others, and grow as a person.

OK...sorry this is so long. In short: "Hello! Nice to meet you!"

Welcome to WrongPlanet

Well, it was short enough that it kept my limited concentration enough to read all of it
It's very good that you've accepted who you are - we are still people, even though we're branded under a label.
Hope you achieve your goal and that you enjoy your time here
