Hi Guys

Post Reply New Topic

I was hoping I could think of something clever or endearing to write for this initial post. Unfortunately, that sort of thing usually seems to evade me until some time after the moment has passed. I've always had the strange thought that if I could get my mind to work better in realtime IRL; I would feel much more confident about myself and that would somehow translate into success and popularity.
Anyhow, I have now reached my thirties and find for the most part that personal nirvana eludes me. I have recently rediscovered that I fit the AS profile almost if somebody wrote my biography. I say rediscovered since I clearly remember giving a psychiatrist I was seeing for 'personal angst' in my early teen years a written checklist which could have been used as a checklist for AS, which he largely scoffed at. This was of course several years prior to its classification in DSM-IV. I try not to be too resentful, though, I often wonder if I haven't lost several years of my life being needlessly drugged with whatever was cutting edge at the time.
I don't want to bore the pants off the collective WP community from the get go with a long post, so I'll give you a brief sketch about me. I seem to be differ from most Aspies in that I am fairly athletic- I am/was bigger and faster than most people in my peer group and played several sports . I am somewhat of an adrenalin junkie. I've enjoyed skydiving, jumping off bridges, and white-water rafting much more than being the center of social situations. I enjoy science, good books, sports, and new experiences. Peace.

I'm not sure I'd call myself athletic, but I was pretty good at sports back in my high school days. Nobody fits the aspie stereotypes to a T.
