Hello folks, a good friend of mine in an obscure IRC network that shall remain unidentified suggested this resource. I've been reading the posts off and on for the past few weeks and have decide that it would be of value to register and participate when time permits. A therapist several years back diagnosed me with the condition between our exchanges, but I'm in-between psychiatrists at the moment for problems involving stress and focus, with the focus problems mostly the result of stress 
I like taking certain types of tests, but I usually find the "personality" type tests to be vague and difficult to understand. I did enjoy the aspie quiz, though, since I understood most of the questions and had a clear answer for most of them:
Your Aspie score: 186 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 25 of 200
I'm an IT engineer with interests in electronics, chemistry, gardening of certain types of plants [bananas, hot peppers, etc], and others that slip my mind currently. I'm a college drop out that made it back to tech school after working in a bleach factory for three months; that's good motivation to get yer rear in gear, as folks say, to get more education. I plan to work in computer security for at least a few more years before moving on to something more interesting and suited to my needs, perhaps as an independent researcher.
How's life?
