Hello! I am new here

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I just joined here. I have aspergers, which was confirmed by my psychologist (well, told to me by the psychologist), but I dont think its like, officially down on any papers or anything. My special interests are monsters, halloween stuff, and psychology. I want to be a psychologist myself some day. I think more mentally ill/different people should work in the mental health field.

Joined because I was frustrated at trying to talk to allistics, hoping to be able to chat with some new autistic friends and acquaintances. Allistics can talk to me too, I can get along well with allistics as long as they are understanding of my autism.

Please feel free to say hi and chat with me about anything on your mind! You can talk to me here or private message me

Hello, Roach! I just joined, too. I'm sure we'll both find a lot of useful information and community here!

That is a great goal to become a psychologist. I wish you all the best!

A psychologist? That's awesome! I mean, not only is it great that you want to do that in the first place but I feel a slight kinship with you now; so many people on the spectrum seem to want work that brings them away from people... you want to do a job that's all about people.

Me too.

Welcome to WP!

hi, roach. welcome. psychology is fascinating. best of luck as you pursue it.

Hey, welcome to wrong planet. I am sure your find understanding people here, I am crazy and they tolerate me ok here lol j/k

Thanks everyone for well wishes and saying hi! :3

Welcome
Good intro

I looked up allistic, learn something new every day. Is aspergers considered autistic or allistic.

What do you mean when you say you are inerested in monsters? Like bigfoot and chupacabra not sure of spelling) My wife loves that.

I hope we can help and encourage you

Do you like video games and such?

I was wondering if you like pokemon or tabletop RPGs like dungeons and dragons. A lot of those have monsters which are maybe a little silly compared to bigfoot, but can be fun to b=obsess about or come up wit new variations.
I was searching for the word that describes the study of mythical monsters. I dont remember it, but I acame across Xenobiology. Here is wikipedia
Xenobiology (XB) is a subfield of synthetic biology, the study of synthesizing and manipulating biological devices and systems. Xenobiology derives from the term xenos, which means "stranger, guest". Xenobiology describes a form of biology that is not (yet) familiar to science and is not found in nature. In practice it describes novel biological systems and biochemistries that differ from the canonical DNA-RNA-20 amino acid system (see the classical central dogma in molecular biology). For example, instead of DNA or RNA, XB explores nucleic acid analogues, termed Xeno Nucleic Acid (XNA) as information carriers.[1] It also focuses on an expanded genetic code [2] and the incorporation of non-proteinogenic amino acids into proteins.[3]

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey Roach welcome.

Have you tried the encounters groups for D&D on Wed nights? They try to keep them to about - 6 players, and you could always try to volunteer for the last table which would be less people.

Did you ever battle online with pokemon like pokemon showdown. The people are kind of rude, but the strategy is great, a great obsession.
