So i'll just say some things about myself. My name's Florence but I go by Astrid a lot, usually when I'm speaking in semi-intelligible German with various friends. I'm seventeen and I started thinking I had Asperger's about 18 months ago, and I'm not officially diagnosed, but I'm fairly sure I have it, and I suspect that my father and brother do as well. My obsessions are animals, astronomy, evolutionary psychology, Romantic-era music, classic and alternative rock music, radical environmentalism, the "Beat generation", various counterculture movements (I take both a personal and academic interest), leftist movements, math/physics (less than some of my other interests), and I spend a lot of time drawing in a sort of surrealist style. (Maybe that seems like a lot, but I've studied them all intensely for weeks at a time at some point.) Oddly, one of my best friends has an autistic sister and an Asperger's uncle, and may have it herself. And I do Academic Decathlon. So... hello. :-]

Welcome! I have a keen interest in the meandering thread woven through counter-culture history, too. I have a cat named Gertrude Stein, a kitten named Jack Kerouac and a wife named Florence. I hope you like it here.

Welcome, Astrid. You probably might want to consider getting properly tested. If you do have Asperger's, at 17 you're still young enough to have a relatively easy time learning to adapt.

Either way, welcome to Wrong Planet.

Ich habe die Deutsch gelernt im Schule und ich gehen nach Greichland im Juni fuer drie wochen. Ausgezeichnet!! Wann ich kann nicht die Gerichlich sprachen, ich will die Deutsch sprachen, nicht die Englisch.

Sagt diese Worte 3-zeit schnell...lol: Welche Sprache spricht mann im Sueddetuschland? lol. Deutsch, na klar.

Sprechts du andere Sprache, warscheinlich?

Ich spreche auch die Franzoesisch, die Greichlich, Japanese (ich habe diese wort vergesst), die Braill, American Handisprech (American Sign Language) und die Englisch. Die sprache macht mir viele spaB.

You have such a limited range of obsessions, but you are young.

There are six billion humans, you could not meet them all, most are just copies, even NTs know few, and they are phonies.

I see a new star rising, a bringer of the dawn.

If only Tesla had gotten some treatment, we would still be living in the dark.

You are right, everyone else is wrong,

My Rx, Sunshine, rain, some good potting soil, peace.
