Just wanted to officially say "Hi...um...yeah I'm new here."
I'm a 34 year old guy who is looking around for people to talk to and get to know, and hopefully find more people like me i can relate with. I am the father of two wonderful children (daughter is 7 and son is 6), who are both on the spectrum. (Daughter is diagnosed autistic with speech apraxia, and my son is PDD-NOS with ADHD and ODD) My ex wife has also very recently been diagnosed with ASD, and through seeing them all, i have a sneaking suspicion I'm in the same boat. I have my quirks. I tend to understand things differently than most. I tend to like to sit at home and be introverted than to be out in a crowd. I do have an obsession with computers, but contrary to what my ex thinks, that can be curbed. I do alot better speaking by writing than i do face to face, unless I'm really comfortable with you....in which case I'm actually quite funny (or at least try to be). I speak in metaphors alot, especially when I write. (Did I mention I like writing? i tend to be very creative in that respect)
Well....unless anyone has any more questions about me, i guess that's it in a nutshell. -shrugs-
