im not super good at introductions but here goes nothing lol Hi I was diagnosed with autism when i was a child but as i grew up and got older i realise i have AS. I am always curious about stuff especially things that spark my interest and i will focus and go on and on for hours about the same subject sometimes. Most people consider me rather odd or a freak but oh well i get used to it after a while my obsessions include Earth Science cars Anime Asian culture and picking up languages on a whim. My brain is like a black box and sometimes even a mystery to me lol I tend to talk to myself too lol. For years i have kept my AS a secret from even most my friends until now with fear of being alienated enough as it is. Now i know i am not as alone i can open up abit heh

Welcome!

Hi Aspie Otaku!

I tend to get very engrossed in what interests me at the moment, also. And, I talk to myself, too, sometimes. Don't worry about that. More people do that than you may think. There are three kinds of talking to oneself. The first when people are rehearsing something. The second is a way people have of helping themselves think, or plan, or remember things. There is nothing wrong with those two. The third way is when you are holding "real" conversations with real or imaginary people or things who aren't there.

Besides helping myself think by talking to myself, I have heard others doing it, too, while I have been out running errands. There is nothing wrong with this.

I did encounter someone with mental problems once during a stay at a homeless shelter. He was out in the parking lot alone, but arguing to immigration people who were not there, about his immigrant girl friend, who was also not there. He had some other mental health issues, too, so the staff contacted the authorities to get him housed somewhere more appropriate, as the shelter staff is not trained to deal with mental cases.

Welcome to the Right Planet!!

Thanks for the welcome by the way. Usually when i talk to myself it helps me keep track of things, other times i talk to myself its to keep myself entertained, for example something funny i have heard ill repeat what was said to myself and laugh about it lol.

hi, welcome to WP

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

More about me my favorite color is green. I like listening to alternative rock, metal, and trance music. My favorite animals are primarily reptiles and amphibians. I am also a lefthanded libra as well my real name is Jerald but my closest family and friends call me by Tony due to my middle name being Anthony. I am currently going to college working on getting a degree in Geology for science is one of my biggest strengths, my only drawback is math is my kryptonite.

Welkome to WP
