Hello everyone!
After having been officially branded an Aspie I thought I might as well join you lot here on Wrong Planet and learn about my fellow oddballs, and, through you, about myself.
I'm a 29 year old male from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Dropped out of college three times. Just kept trying. Had my own internet startup for a while, but that requires a lot of people skills and/or self-knowledge, but I lacked both at the time.
Currently unemployed, but slowly getting a taste for life and people again. Hope this diagnosis can help me figure out how to make the most out of life.
Currently weighing the pros and cons of living in the biggest city of the most densely populated country in Europe. I might decide to cut down on human interaction by moving out into the country. Curious about your perspective on that, but I'll have to find a suitable sub-forum for that thread.
I'm interested in privacy (both on- and offline), information security, civil and human rights, journalism, politics, movies, tv-shows, books, photography, cooking and a lot more.
Enough about me. I'm off to read all about you guys 
Cheers

Hey, and welcome to WP! Congrats on your diagnosis, it's a wonderful relief. 
I've been to Amsterdam once - I loved the experience, but it was a little too loud for me I must say. 
I'm into photography too! (Although my shots resemble the typical fifteen-year-old-with-a-camera 
) Which area of photography do you prefer?

) Which area of photography do you prefer?Thanks for the warm welcome
Do you have a deviantart or flickr account or somth? I'm a passive photog-lover right now. Haven't held a proper camera for years now. I like street photography; people, animals in the urban environment, odd details. I like women as a subject as well. Pretty ones, sure, but more importantly women and intimacy or women and solace. Lately I've found myself looking at eco-architecture pics a lot. I enjoy the collision of artificial and natural. Are there things that you prefer to look at or shoot or is your scope too wide to narrow it down?Thank you !

My flickr has all my photography but it's lazily maintained.
Here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dextroannie
And I love urban photography! Not to shoot though, just to look at. Ever heard of urbexing?
Look at, photography wise... Pretty much anything! Shoot, I just love people and portraits, although at the amatuer stage I pretty much suck. I still love it though.
And secondhand DSLRs (like you can't go wrong with a Nikon D40!) are going quite cheap these days if you'd ever want to look into it - and gosh, film SLRs are going even cheaper if you could be bothered with all the processing work.

Love the co-op bag cameo
Looking forward to updates, as they trickle in. Are you in Yorkshire? Saw you visited Leeds. Was there recently. I visit York & Yorkshire often.Yeah! Saw this brilliant repo of MailRail: silentuk.com/?p=2792
That's good advice. I just might, thanks!
