Yet another Maniacle Asperger.... Yo

Post Reply New Topic

Hey everyone, while I had heard of this place for sometime, I neglected to look at it for more than, oh.... 10 seconds. But I finally gave in and decided to join, just prior to writing this post in fact.

So I guess I'll introduce myself with some facts and whatnot so you all can see what kind of person I am.


I have Aspergers. I have always been different and neglected and have recently been diagnosed.

I am a 22 year old guy, living in the southern US, the redneck territory. As a result of my personality, I suppose, I have no friends in my area, they all stopped contacting me, so a filled early childhood quickly dwindled and has now become nothing.

My extreme points of interest, the Asperger trait, are within the confines of logic (non math based), video games, stories (like novel, fantasy, comics, ect), historical warfare (I become obsessed with the developement of gunpowder in the Medieval Age), video games (yes, again, I am a big time game genius), and random bits of geographic information. I have a passion for stories and art, as a whole, as I am a fan of comics, video games, or just plain good stories.

My goal in life is to be a video game designer, since that aspect has taken over the majority of my interests. I am about to achieve my early goals when I graduate this year and become a scientist at long last. I'll have 3 awesome titles when I graduate, Social Scientist, Geographer, Cartographer (map maker, historically the adventurer's title).

I have been VERY anti social, though I am very needy for social interaction, which makes having Aspergers very trying on my self. I grew up getting in everyone's face, but as people told me to "shut up" and 'go away" I retracted and became lacking in social skills, as a result of being pushed away by those I tried to socialize with.

I have an incredible amount of morals and virtues, and hope to find out if this is just a side effect of Aspergers developing my mind, if it influences it, or if I just read one too many fairy tales as a kid.

Oddly enough for my syndrome, I have the anti social quality of being a 22 year old virgin about to graduate with a degree, and having never dated in my life. And odd about that is that is not attributed to religion or anti social behavior, as I have turned down many date potentials, I just didn't like the girls that way.



Anyways, that's who I am. I came here to try and meet some other people in similar predicaments, and as I have almost compensated Aspergers to almost stop affecting me, I figure I might even be able to help others out here with other problems. Who knows, maybe I'll meet some new friends.


Oh, and I go by Lord Arquebus in myspace (since I am too new to post a direct link), in case anyone wants to try and make a friend out of this here maniac, though I may be a "tad" picky so look me up

Welcome to WP, glad you finally joined.
I am 15 years old, and was diagnosed last year, it was also when I first heard about it.
I share some interests with you, such as I love programming and science and of course, math. I am a bit of a loner, I have few friends, but almost everyone knows me though
I lack social skills, I try to make friends, but I fail to understand how to.

And because you are a gamer, I will say that "the cake is a lie"

Hi!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

I hope you enjoy posting here!

Welcome to WP!

Nice to meet you, LordArquebus. I understand the social problems you described as a child. I used to hear people, young and old, tell me that I had a temper when all I was doing was reacting naturally to situations that arose. The message I got there was that I had no right to express my feelings. It made me avoid people a lot later on.
