Well, to be brief, I'll just say that my name is Brandon, and I currently live in the horrible cesspool that is the city of Omaha, Nebraska. Since it's easier to answer a bunch of specific questions than try and describe myself from scratch, I just stole the form from one of the stickies. I imagine if you have any other questions you could likely PM or email me. That email, by the way, is losontitokash at gmail dot com. Formatted that way to escape the murderous spambots that could even now be crawling this page.

Anyway, here's all the info I'm sure you're dying to read.

What is your first name? Brandon.

Age: 18.

Location: Omaha, Nebraska.

Hobbies and Interests: THE INTARWEBS. I'm also quite fond of video games, playing my guitar, and hanging out with my girlfriend.

Why are you here? Well, this website is focused of people with Asperger's, I have Asperger's, it seemed like a perfect match.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Around 12 or so. I actually wasn't told about my diagnosis till I was 16 so it's not something that's cemented in my mind.

Favorite subjects: History and language.

Year/Grade: 3rd year in college.

Favorite music: Rock. Specifically, metal and alternative. My favorite bands are Avenged Sevenfold and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Unfortunately this board does not have a metal emoticon.

Books: The Worldwar series, Halo, 1632-series. Apparently it's also called the Grantville series but that's silly.

TV shows/Movies: The only shows I watch are Heroes and House. As for movies I quite like the Matrix films (of course as we all know they never made a third one) and Crank.

Instrument: Electric guitar.

Do you like sports? If so, which ones?: Baseball is about it. Unless you count martial arts and orienteering, which I doubt.

Family: Eh, I live with my mother and stepdad, but I'm moving out on my own in a couple weeks. I have 4 older brothers, though I haven't actually met one of them.

Clothing: I wear cargo pants and shirts that either amuse me or have something cool on the design. I'm obsessed with dragons so there you go.

How did you find this website? Somethingawful, a place I frequent quite often, posted a satirical article mocking this website. I'm a member of another forum that received a similar treatment, though I didn't hear about it from Somethingawful.

Job: I work as a telemarketer! :o Not really. I do work at a call center but I actually help people.

Plans for the future? I hope to learn a few different languages and be an interpreter. Preferably for the Air Force.

Any comments? Nothing at the present time. I reserve the right to mock anything and everything at my discretion. Except not really since I've never been banned from a forum yet and would like to maintain my stellar record.

People were outraged by the misstreatment on SA,shocking to be so missundertood(actually we should be quit use to it but it still stings a bit)

Have to say you certainly sound rather "well adjusted" to your AS....a girlfriend...outragious,and going to college and planning on moving out of your parents before thirty.....are you trying to destroy all the best stereotypes?If so,keep up the good work.


Welcome to the planet......keep up your clean "no banning" record (or face our mighter hammer of rath)

Well, I do try. :P This time last year I was pretty much an emotional wreck but I finally went to a psychiatrist after much poking and prodding from family and teachers. College helps, too, since it isn't anywhere close to the absolute hell that was public high school.

Edit: And while I find most of the things on SA hilarious, it certainly does suck when they go after something you like/happen to be. Just gotta roll with it, I guess.

I remember my high school counselor saying that I just needed to keep from killing myself until I made it to college where I would find a few other freaks who could except me(I was in a very conservative,upper middle class,jock obsessed school).He was pretty much correct.College had plenty of Reagon voting business majors, but also a few other weirdo's I could be excepted by, even if they werent "weird" in the same way I was.It was a good place to be exposed to "alternative" music, movies and books.Would have been better if I had spent a few to many nights getting drunk by some strangers bookcase,but I hadnt quit worked out "social group" thing,still havent.
