I am new to forums and don't know entirely how they work. I've been feeling down about my Aspergers, and thought that I should try this website. I am 18 years old and close to graduating high school. I would like to get to know people through this website. Can you please tell a little bit about yourself in perhaps 3-4 sentences? I hope this isn't a silly thing to ask. I really just want to get to know someone right now.

Hello Gate City welcome to Wrong Planet.

Asperger's is a tough thing to deal with at times but it is these struggles that make us strong.

I am 16 from New Zealand. I have a pet dog, and 2 siblings. My main interests are history, politics, sociology and arguing.

I absolutely love History and Politics, currently I am reading about the history of modern France. I am alarmed about the rise of the Far Right in Europe at this point.

What about you?

welcome friend, from another person who was new to forums, not knowing how they work, and in high school when she joined too.... :jester:

i'm in california. i gain purpose by creating drawings, figurines in plasticine, working on constructed languages and learning existing ones. one of my closest friends is 11 inches tall, and cost me over $300 to create. she will turn 1 year old in may. i have had moderator status on this site for over 2 years now.

i speak english and spanish, learning hebrew. i value independence more than many other things.

one issue of mine is my tendency to interpret, when people say they do something differently than me, as "i'm better than you". i should stop doing that. i also have a tendency to give up before i've even started trying. more attached to certain people than is perhaps healthy, and struggle with feelings of inferiority in general.

well, that's me. i hope your graduation goes well, and you know what to do afterwards.

Mae govannen.

I'm quite experienced with forums, in fact, I'm F-mod on the LotR Minecraft Mod forum, and have posted on forums for nearly six years.

I live in Canada, in a rural part of the rather small province known as Nova Scotia. So if you're thinking of leading an invasion on my house, you've got a lot of turf to cover.

I work as a teaching assistant in organic chemistry, and do research on Li-ion batteries for Tesla Canada. In addition, I sail a lot and do karate, along with many other outdoor activities.

I speak French and German in addition to English.

And that's four sentences.

F-mod is forum moderator. Actually, I'm more than a mod there. I'm an admin, technically.

Hi. I hope I'm replying the right way. As I mentioned before, I'm new to forums. I am 18 and from the United States. I also have a dog, and I have 3 siblings. My main interests are drawing, writing, science, and animation. Thanks for replying to my forum. I appreciate it.

Hi. Thank you for replying. I actually want to go to California when I graduate college to create my own television show. I speak only English, and I am teaching myself Japanese. I think every person with Aspergers struggle with interpretation. Sometimes I fail to interpret sarcasm, which can be embarrassing :oops: Thanks for wishing me luck on graduation :)

Hi. I'm not familiar with Minecraft, so I don't really know what a F-mod is. It's cool that you assist in organic chemistry. I've always wanted to try martial arts. I would love to speak another language, and currently I'm teaching myself Japanese. Thanks for replying to my forum.
