Hello fellow lemons

Hellow fellow users of WrongPlanet, I hope the subject line didn't offend you, I'd hate to start on a negative. Anyway as a new member I should perhaps tell you a little about myself, I am 17 years old and I am from Britain, I was diagnosed with Asperger's shortly after I was born but I was unaware of my affliction until 2003. I have a keen interest in television production, particularly as a producer or production designer, I am currently doing a Btec in Television and film and as a hobby I sometimes make review videos on youtube among other short film productions, including but not limited to claymation films; as an aspie I joined this forum with the hope of exchanging opinions on and knowledge of the disorder, as well as sharing my sympathy and understanding with others going through the same hardship as I or those who are unsure of how to approach those who are. I do experience one or two ongoing challenges which I would like to get a greater understanding of from others who have experienced similar things or at least know what I'm going through. In terms of the symptoms I display, generally my mood is very changeable, I can be very happy and full of myself but more often than not I quickly begin to beat myself up and feel hopeless for no apparent reason, when talking to people I often feel an obsessive compulsion for closure, for example if someone tells me a joke that I don't get I will pursue a complete understanding regardless of the other person moving on, and even if I do eventually get an understanding I often expect there to be some greater underlying complication which I am not getting, like there is another way of seeing something which I have missed, this also extends in my inability to judge a good balance of information, if someone asks me a question I may give a perfectly concise and clear explanation but I may then feel I have overlooked an important detail or I could possibly make my description better, so I may reiterate until the person becomes bored or annoyed, and I may see it as them being rude or disrespectful at the time but on reflection I know it's me. I have very narrow interests, in terms of what I do and what I enjoy, I obsessively think about (rather than work towards) my video projects etc and I have a very hard time getting into new television shows or even watching individual films because I don't like the lack of familiarity, I find it very hard to adapt new routines, it could range from small things such as remebering to put my clothes into a particular draw to devoting a day to something new, even if it really is something which I need for the sake of my health and/or sanity . I am aware of my intelligence but I constantly doubt myself whenever I get something wrong or get mistaken, which causes a vicious cycle my expressions of doubt warrent yet more doubt from myself and others. As you can probably tell by now I have a lot to say, so I'd just like to put al this out there before you all fall asleep! Speaking of sleep, who else is tired of being tired?!

Wow - massive wall of text! You need to split that up!

I'm offended. Where can I claim my compensation?

As for the lemonade - is it authentic, homemade lemonade? I'm in.



There are a lot of people here from the UK here (myself included). You should be in reasonably good company here.



Can you provide me with a link to your YouTube account? Just for general analysis, of course.



No problem - I know how it feels, even if I perhaps am not here as much as I used to be.



Reason that people don't want to tell you the meaning of the joke in detail is that to actually tell you the meaning of the joke actually eliminates all humour and fun from the joke, and therefore makes it a chore.



Me. I have been near-constantly tired and have been for years.

All the best!

I can't post any links for now due to the annoying but still legitimately helpful anti-spam measure but I can tell you that I have TWO youtube accounts, they are:
CTPixelReviews
&
CTPixelProductions

I presume by general analysis you mean trying to spot symptoms of my "head problem" in my videos, shouldn't be too hard!
Anyway thanks for taking the time to read my mini-encyclopedia, it's good to be in the company of other keen readers for once!

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Welcome!
Videos, cool, I have...a few, of those
