Hi, I'm MontyAA2003, but you can just call me Monty. I also have an account over on AARoads where I talk about my interest in roads. I live somewhere on the Internet, encircled in funny memes. My favorite YouTubers are RebelTaxi, SMG4, and, well, Googlebrains (which is my channel btw)

But enough of that, you probably want to hear my diagnosis. I'm diagnosed with high-functioning autism, (not sure if that's the same thing as aspergers) and I have been since age 3. I hope to enjoy myself here :D

Welcome to the Forum.

One could have high-functioning Kanner (classical) Autism, or Asperger's Syndrome.

Asperger's is not in the DSM-V, but is in the ICD-10.

I'm interested in roads, too, though I don't have much time to research them enough for me to gain a great knowledge of them.

Good to know there's other roadgeeks on this forum :D I particularly like studying the interchanges (when a freeway crosses with another road) and how the lanes work. I even bought Cities Skylinesj ust so I can have a place I build roads (and ended up liking the rest of the game) xD

LOL....it's not so fun when you're actually driving on these interchanges!

You have to be really careful on them.

There's a point, at about Mile 153 on I-95 in Virginia, near Fredericksburg, where the two HOV lanes merge with the four "normal" lanes of this Interstate.

Frequently, this causes 15-20 mile traffic jams, starting at about Mile 169.

They should have had an Aspie when they were constructing this road LOL

Wow. That must be really annoying. The HOV lanes here in Utah just become normal lanes when they end.

I'm glad I live in NYC, where most of the highways make sense.

It's just too populated--that's why we have the traffic jams we have.

Are you really 12-years-old? We have a few people your age here.

Actually, yeah I am. I'll be 13 in July though, so it's not gonna stick around for long.
But tbh if I could stay one age forever I'd stay 12.

There's a guy from Utah named AspieUtah on this Site. He's a good person.
