Hi all.
I am a diagnosed Aspie. The diagnosis was fairly recent but my Aspergers has, apparently, been blatantly obvious to my friends for years and years. I only started to suspect it myself around 6 or so years ago. I certainly knew that I was different from most people in some way from the start.
It was a very late diagnosis but when it came I breathed a little sigh of relief. Nothing's changed but it's like I can stop worrying what "it might be" now...
It certainly explains so much. It's like so many things have now fallen into place and the more I learn about Aspergers, the more I understand about myself, my past and, in particular, my childhood.
After many problems, worries and bouts of depression I am finally coming to terms with myself.
I no longer try to hide my stimming (which I still do), too.
So, yeah... Hi all!

Hello and welcome. I'm glad you're able to understand yourself better. I personally find being able to categorise myself quite helpful.

How do you feel about the Scottish Highlands?

Hi, welcome! What are your interests?

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey Gary welcome.

Welcome! I am glad you have found a structure to place your life experience within and hope you are able to move forward with confidence and acceptance.

Wow! Was it really that long ago that I first joined?
I had intended to be a lot more active on this forum but a lot has been happening in my life over the past few years and I haven't really found the time.
However, I've rediscovered the site and I'm back now so, hi again!

That's okay as your most honorably welcome to WrongPlanet and all of it's forums, members, and the entire community as a whole.

Welcome back to Wrong Planet!

Welcome back to WP!

Thanks all. ^_^

To TheAP. I never did answer..
My hobbies include electronics and astronomy but my strongest interests (obsessions would be a better description) are synthesizers, '80s/retro tech, '80s electronic music, synthwave music and the '80s in general.

Hi wee_gary, do you have any favourite synths, sequencers or other kit from that era? I've had a good go on a lot of that kit!

Does fellow aspie Gary Numan feature in there?

Many. I currently have a Casio CZ-1000, Yamaha TQ-5, Linndrum, Simmons SDS9 drum kit and various effects units.
I also use the Cheetah SpecDrum and Ram Music Machine sampler on the ZX Spectrum and an Atari ST for MIDI control and sequencing.
I am currently after a Yamaha DX-7, a Korg Poly-800 and an Oberheim Cyclone arpeggiator.

My dream machines include the Jupiter-8 and Polymoog.



Of course.

Nice.
I've used The CZ-1000, Poly 800, DX-7, Cheetah and Atari st from that list. People complain about programming the DX7 but it's fine. I had one and it really complimented the CZ-1000.
Do you have a CZ patch book?
