Hello all and first, sorry for my bad english.

I'm 20y old guy dx'ed with aspergers, although I don't really know what it is and how does it affect to my life. Atleast my senses are very accurate, but i can't stand when others touch me and so on, "sensory overload". But otherwise I really don't know. And is asperger's existence proven by EEG, brain scan or whatsoever? Data about it is not public and I don't understand why.

And my music taste is very different compared to others in my culture (I live in Finland). When others listen heavy metal, hard rock and mainstream music there, I listen jazz, classical and some hip hop most of the time. And also play a LOT real money Texas hold'em poker. I have some buddies and acquiantances (not real friends though) and I almost always can't talk about my interests, it's almost always that I have to talk what is interesting to THEM. So i have to talk about their interests more than mine. And it really doesn't matter are they aspergers or not. (I study with the class where all students are dx'ed with aspergers. One year education and we mostly learn social and living skills).

I also have dyslexia and that's why I really don't like reading books. When I was at high school I didn't read to exams, and cheated when in native language classes we had to read book on free time and make essay about it. Yes I did make essay, but didn't read the book because I just couldn't do it without unreal amount of effort. And I didn't knew I had it when I was there.

I don't smoke (idiotic), have tried alcohol mildly but not really on to it and don't use drugs. Even though I can't understand why mild drugs are illegal in most western countries when it doesn't harm others, why you are not allowed to harm yourself if you want?
