Hello everyone.

I thought i could tell you that i'm eventually back at WP after a long time. Every now and then i've read here using my cellphone, but i just couldn't find the time to be here. (Which is strange, since i've done almost nothing this summer. :roll:)

WP is such a wonderful mess of fun, interesting, or upsetting threads, and it's nice to be back at last. I'm still learning about my ASD, and i hope i'll continue to do so for a long time. Thankyou, all of you, for making WP the place it is! :D

I might have said some silly things in the past, but to those of you who dislike me, please give me a second chance. I'll try to behave. :)

I'll write a few lines about myself. Only a few, this time. I'll spare you my life history.

I'm an 18 year old guy living in Sweden. My biggest interest is computers, programming, and a bunch of related activities. I'm trying to contribute to a bunch of free software projects, but so far not much have happened. And i wont disclose any details, since i'm still trying to be anonymous. (Note to self: Good luck with that.)

Free software is my ideal, the four freedoms are my allies. Now that sounds pretentious. But i really think that it's an important issue, and that FS (free software) can and will change the world in a positive way. Maybe not the most important struggle, but it's something, and i enjoy it.

I'm going to join university studying computer tech this autumn, and might come here often and ask college/uni questions in the school forum.

As a person I'm this thinking, lecturing (in my head), geeky character. Technology often excites me. I find myself disassembling electronics or reading source code to satisfy the urge for understanding, or at least it's an attempt for understanding. I appreciate logic, but feeling is no doubt important too. I can be outgoing among friends, yet extremely shy among strangers.

And the ASD in question? Diagnosed "mild AS", clearly with AD(H)D traits, and OCD-like compulsions.
