Age:26 Male

Location:South East USA

Hobbies and Interests:I have many interests, but I am not much into one thing more than others. Nature, Computers/Video games(Rpgs, Fantasy Action), and Cooking are some examples.

Why are you here? Looking to connect with some people that share interests and can relate to some of my issues in life.

When were you diagnosed?: at age 14

Favorite subjects: Well none in particular but I hated (Still do) English/Grammer.

Year/Grade: Some college.

Favorite music: I like individual songs more than certain albums or artists, an exception to this would be that I like Pink Floyd.

Books: The last book I read was the LoTR trilogy. I mostly read things like National Geographic and Newsweek.

TV shows/Movies: Discovery Chanel, National Geographic, Sci-fi/fantasy, 24 hour news.

Instrument:none

Do you like sports? Not realy

Family:I am the youngest of 3.

Clothing: Comfortable, loose fitting, I don't like bright colors and prefer dark and earthy colors.

How did you find this website? Google.

Job: Curently getting disabilty.

Plans for the future? Getting my act together.

Any comments? The biggest problem I have is with real life social interactions, such as eye contact, small talk, reading body language, sending proper signals, and I suffer from severe anxiety in public places, especialy in situations where I am alone, or with people that I don't know.

Welcome Arbie,

We all have a problem with real life. I thought I was the only one till I found this place. There is nothing real about us. We do all have a lot in common.

We explore a disability that has no cause, treatment, cure, and we are all different. What other disability has such famous writers, inventors, artists, musicans, professors, and has invented a space program and an internet.

Pink Floyd is a common theme. English/Grammer/Spelling, what are they? Not around here.

Welcome to the tribe, Arbie! Your story sounds familiar. We are all peas in an oddly shapen pod.

Remember: Aspies are the Mk II version

Hello, Arbie! Take your coat off, and sit a while! There's lots to go through on this site, and you'll find a lot to ease your load, and ease your mind. We may have limitations, but we have strengths rare in the mainstream, and learn we're okay the way we are.
