Even though I registered on here a while ago, it has been nearly 18 months since I have posted anything, so I figure I should introduce myself again, as well as give a little background.
Hello everybody, my name is Troy, and I am what you could call a borderline aspie. At this point, I think I have a pretty solid understanding of both AS and NT minds, although parts of both can still catch me by surprise at times. I stopped coming to this site for well over a year, but I started reading posts again in the last few weeks, and I feel like contributing once again.
However, before I do so, I feel I should issue a bit of an apology. When I first arrived here, I carried with me a very arrogant and inconsiderate attitude towards others here. I had good intentions; I wanted to impart wisdom on y'all. I thought I had s**t figured out. But, looking back at some old posts of mine, I noticed a trend of unearned certainty and unwarranted self-importance that reeked from nearly everything I posted. Reading that now, seeing how I acted, I can't help but feel a bit disgusted with myself. A lot has changed for me in the last 18 months; changes to certain philosophies required exploring new viewpoints, bringing with it a great deal of new perspectives, humility, and maturity. On that note, I'm sorry for how I acted before, and I will try to do better. I can't promise I won't do anything like that again, but at least this time, I will keep a careful eye on my own hubris.
Anyways, enough about me for now. I look forward to interacting with everyone here again.
