Hello Wrong Planet!
I'm Nathan. I was diagnosed with AS as a teenager, and for a very long time rejected the diagnosis or anything to do with it. As I've grown older, I've accepted that it's an integral part of myself, and am hoping to connect with others on the spectrum as well. Part of making that connection is trying to understand Autism and Aspergers through the experiences of others, something I -admittedly- have little experience with.
I have several outdoor and adventure hobbies, and enjoy volunteering with outreach programs that encourage adventurous activities for those of us who's lives are a little different. I write a blog about my own personal adventures (the link should show up in my signature!), and would absolutely love to find co-authors, co-adventurers, or just people to chat with about our own experiences with life on the spectrum.
Thank you all for reading, I'm looking forward to learning more about this community!

Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone!
Mikeman - I see you're interested in space travel as well! I'll be studying mechanical/aerospace engineering at USU, with an emphasis on that exact niche! I hope to come across some of your posts on the topic
Jvon - I think it's very important we see it that way. What we lack in some areas, we more than make up for in others, and it's truly amazing what we can accomplish when we work with those strengths!
