Hi

Post Reply New Topic

Hello.
I'm a very recent member; I've read articles about Asperger.
And when I have read them, I discovered much of my profile in the description.
Not everything, and I didn't recognized myself entirely, but much.
And then I discovered this website existence, and I guess I wanted to know people with that profile.
Sorry if my English isn't very good,I'mFrench, you see.

Welcome to WP

I hope you enjoy posting here.

Thank you.

I hope you learn a lot here. I have.

Hello and welcome to WP. It's a very good place for information and support.

Hi! Welcome!

Well, you'll certainly find a lot of Asperger's people here!

And don't worry, your English seems fine to me

Greatings, Dave!

People come in a very wide variety. We each perceive, conceive of and relate to reality differently. Every human being I have ever met is unique. Most of us do so in the "normal range," not meaning that this is the correct or right way, but merely the most frequent way. Some of us do so in unusual ways. And a few of us do so in ways that are rare. Of this last group, some of us are Aspies, like me. And, every Aspie I have ever met is unique.

To me, this diversity in the way our brains work is a great strength. So, it really doesn't matter whether you have Asperger's Syndrome or not, your arrival is very welcome, regardless of whether you are an Aspie or not.

May you find good information, inspiration, companionship, comfort, and good humor here.

Explore and enjoy.

And don't worry, Dave, your post was written better than many native English speakers might do.

yeah,I guess it's because I learnt English at school, when Native English speaking learnt it when listening to others, and I guess teachers speak a better English in front of their pupils than ordinary people.
In fact, I suspect I'm an Aspie, or somewhat Aspie, because I have "passions" about subjects, and I spend a lot of time learning about them.
Moreover, I'm not very comfortable with others;for example, with my fellow colleagues, not that I don't like them, but outside the job context, I don't fell I share much with them: they talk mostly about people, what they have done, what they are going to do.
I think much more about the subjects (for example classical music) I'm interested in than about other people, including my own family.
Moreover, I don't like very much journeys, because when I want rest and comfort, being in my familiar environment is much more enjoyable.
And something my family can't feel: I have always had my biggest pleasures alone.
Perhaps I'm just a normal guy who has just a different character and I'm looking for an explanation, but at least, in reading the Aspie profile, it helped me to understand myself.
But I feel that books alone can't answers those questions.

Bienvenue a WP,Dave

I know what you mean about talking to colleagues.I get along fine with mine
but I feel a little awkward when they start talking about their social lives or whispering to each other !

Vous gagnez. J'allais dire "Bienvenue à WP". Mais j'ai obtenu l'accent correct.

And no, je ne peux pas parler français. Un peu, peut-être. Babel Fish m'aide.

Ah,j' oublie toujours les accents.Nous faisons un match nul,mon ami.

I was going to continue trying to burble in French (as if I don't burble enough in English, in the first place!), but thought better of it.

Just in case it didn't sound right before, davershar, here it comes again:

Welcome to Wrong Planet, Dave, where everything is right.
