i had lurked for quite some time, but figured it might be wise to join and interact.

i'm a male in the united states of america

i was misdiagnosed as bipolar for many decades, decided to dump the meds, no effect on my behavior, quirks, etc. as an adult it's very difficult to obtain assistance with you are asd, after several months and countless dollars spent i had a shiny new "hey you're autistic, likely aspergers" diagnosis.

i knew from childhood i was not like other people and i was content with creating my own world. like many on spectrum i'm very intelligent yet i'm constrained in what i'm interested in (computer science, cryptography, radio, chemicals, pharmacology, digital and psychological forensics).

i have an "other half" who i'm about to drive insane because of my blast-furnace ways. i'm currently in therapy which does not change my wiring but does allow me to navigate life and reality a bit better.

if you have questions, drop a comment. otherwise i'm sure i'll find something else to post.
