Good morning!!

I am a 27 year old Latino with Asperger's Syndrome. I found your forum via Google, and want to be part of this community and share my experience as a person with Asperger Syndrome, especially one who does not come from an Anglosphere/Nordic background.

Any questions about me, please feel free to ask.

Cheers! :D

Thank you.

Well it is different I must have to say. I say this because I used to live in the USA for 14 years (I am also a naturalized US citizen), and I had a reverse culture shock. For example, Mexicans, like other Latin Americans and Southern Europeans, are very flexible with time and are more spontaneous, whether I am a punctual person almost all the time. Also, I am a pretty frank and direct person, whilst most Mexicans are not like that.

But, apart from that, I really like it here. I work as an interpreter at a Japanese insecticide company, I am married to a Japanese woman, my office is 10 minutes walking from my home, there is much more to do here than in the area I used to live in the USA, and I live in one of the most upscale areas of Mexico City :D

How about you? How is Canada?

Canada is good. Though it's cold in the winter, obviously.

Naturally, lol.

I will also start my YouTube channel and will be discussing on my videos more about Asperger Syndrome. Will keep you guys updated. And will do them both in English and in Spanish.
