Hello everyone, I just figured I'd re-introduce myself. Now, I know none of you remember me. Let me explain.

I registered quite a while back, made maybe 3 or 4 posts, and then left due to various reasons. The biggie being that I ran across some people trying to take "emo" pictures of themselves that demonstrated grossly dangerous mishandling of firearms. Being a firearms enthusiast, I take that subject VERY seriously and was put off by the total apathy displayed. I've since forgot what information I'd registered with so I'm back for round 2.

ANYWAY before I dig myself into a hole right off the bat... :D

I came back because I've been lurking for the past few weeks, and this place is really full of interesting people and good information. I'd like to be a part of it.

I was diagnosed with AS quite some time ago, when I was pretty little. For years, I denied that anything was wrong with me. It wasn't until late in high school that I noticed something was seriously wrong. Maybe not wrong, but certainly different and not in my favor at the time. I'm 22 now, and it's quite obvious that it's there.

So here I am, hoping to share a bit of my mind with some similar people online.

I think I'm doing alright for myself lately. I'm in my first year of college at Oregon Tech, and I'm learning to overcome a few things, particularly being comfortable with approaching young women my age who I am interested in. It's certainly a late start by any standards, but I figure I've still got a bit of time in that department.

Now if I can work on my strange fear and nervousness with driving this coming summer, I'll be right where I need to be. At least in my mind. ;)

So yeah, I look forward to interacting with some of you fine people.

Welcome from a fellow AS firearms enthusiast. I'm a bit older than thee and have gone through what you are experiencing, without the benefit of a DX and a support group such as this. It can be done, and I hope it is easier for you than it was for me.

Thanks for welcoming me. :D

Velodog, it took me a second but I recognize your name. Most people probably have no idea. :D

Welcome back to Wrongplanet!

I'm not sure what being "emo" means, but it doesn't sound good at all!

I'm glad you decided to join us again!
