I've been around for a few weeks but never properly introduced myself. I was diagnosed with NLD as a child and also had dyscalculia and dyslexia; the NLD went unnoticed for a few years because I also have cerebral palsy.

I'm uncertain if I also have AS or not; I've had psychologists tell me that I have some AS 'traits' but not others... I don't have issues making eye contact but I do have issues interpreting body language and other social cues.

I work in Student Affairs at a large U.S. state university, enjoy skeletal biology, studying ethnicity & the formation of identity and quite a few other things.

I used to develop text-based MMO's and my administrator name was usually Celeborn; friends shortened that to Celery for some reason unknown to me, and the name stuck.
