You got a double Newbie on your hands here...

Post Reply New Topic

Hello to everyone!
I'm Jeremy and like the title stated, I'm a double newbie here. I recently found this website while searching on information about Asperger syndrome and found a great volume of useful informative posts on the various boards of the forum. If you haven't already guess yet, the "double" part of the newbie being that I only found out about two days ago that I'm an aspie; To be honest in my case it was actually somewhat of a relief to me. I finally knew why I was different from all the people I interact with on a daily basis.

While looking over the rules and sticky threads I saw the already formatted "Who are you" questionnaire, so it seems like a logical place to start with. If I skim over something that anyone want to know more about I'd be more than happy to answer, you just have to tell me.

What is your first name? Jeremy

Age: 26

Location: Georgia

Hobbies and Interests: Technology, Autosports (specifically participating, not watching), Arts (admiration of others art as well as Drawing, Models, and Digital Design), Offroad Biking (Trails and courses)

Why are you here? To learn more about what makes me unique, and hopefully learn to interact with NT individuals better.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Suspected about a week ago, diagnosed by means of the "Diagnostic Criteria for 299.80 Asperger's Disorder" two days ago

Favorite subjects: Surprisingly similar to the list of hobbies

Year/Grade: Some College

Favorite music: Changes by the day, currently listen to 90's and early 2000 rock and current EDM

Books: I, as a rule, don't really read for entertainment; I do however read books and articles related to what ever subject I'm currently cramming into my head.

TV shows/Movies: Last theater movie watched: Deadpool, TV Shows: re-watching Flashpoint and Arrow right now.

Instrument: Never learned any

Do you like sports? I will watch sport socially with the few close friends I have but otherwise pretty well uninterested in mainstream sports.

Family: Nothing special to tell

Clothing: What ever is functional to the task at the time.

How did you find this website? The same way that everyone find anything in this day and age, Google

Job: Wireless technician (I work on the cell phone tower network, and my current project would be over night integration; Put more simplistically activating newly installed wireless equipment into the network for public use.)

Plans for the future? I think I'm going to go to Sam's Club tomorrow

Any comments? None that seem relevant right now.

Welcome to Wrong Planet Jeremy.

Welcome! Glad to have you here.

Hey Jeremy,

You're not alone in that kind of sentiment! I just found out a few months ago what exactly an aspie was, and it's been eye opening ever since.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey Jeremy welcome.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I'm glad i finally found a place with people I can relate to.

@RoadRatt, Nice signature! I've lost count how many times I've watched and re-watched Firefly (Both movie and TV Series). I wish they would have continued making more seasons, or at least a second movie.

I found out when I was 32! It was kind of validating for me. Welcome!
