A warm welcome to WrongPlanet, Hilary "the baker"!
What would you rather prefer as a nickname for Asperger's?
Sounds to me like you are quite a polyglot.

First, I'll explain my nickname. It's my email name too, and I was in Culinary School studying baking when I got my email account. (This was two years ago.) I do not have any desire to be a baker, although I am certifed. I went to regular college for four years, too.
I have Asperger's. I do not want to be referred to as an "Aspie." I don't like the term.
I live in Texas. I found this website while looking at the Wikipedia Encyclopedia webpage.
I am interested in 50s-60s oldies (especially from Europe, Asia, and Latin America), books (I read all the time), languages (I understand 8 written languages), DVDs, talking, painting (I have painted over 1,012 landscapes since June of 2003), culture, travel, history, among other things.

I got my nickname given to me by a special needs child at a neuro-typical camp where I volunteered. Yes, the Aspie name is sad but necessary. It appears to have come about because children were being called: "Ass-burgers".
Well, it appears your interests have many job potentials. The hard part will be meshing with others in your direct communication approach.
Have you displayed any of your paintings for sale? Or have you become too attached to them, not wanting to sell?
Oh, I guess I should say: "Welcome".
