I am currently 32 years old, born {redacted}. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (now classified as "high functioning autism") at the age of 3, and Tourette's Syndrome at the age of 8. I am a Hispanic-American of Mexican descent (both of my parents are Mexican immigrants), and was born and raised in Arkansas, currently living in {redacted}. My hobbies include tabletop gaming, parkour, and retro gaming. I have never been in a relationship, and currently have no friends. I have a B.S. in Finance, and have worked 2 jobs in the financial sector in the past, but unfortunately was fired from both of them for "acting out". Afterwards, I got a job at Arby's as a cashier, but was unfortunately fired from that job as well after I had a meltdown. I am currently unemployed and collecting social security disability income, and I have pretty much accepted that, as an autistic man already fast approaching middle age, this is my life.
