Hiya,

I’ve been perusing the forums for a few weeks and thought it was time to post something.

I’m not quite sure what to say about myself. Self dx’d mid 2007 after many years of avoiding typing Aspergers into Wikipedia (for reasons that no longer seem quite so important as they once did). I’ll save the details of my story for another day, but given that you’re here you can probably work out 90% of it for yourself.

So who am I?

Age: Early 30s

Gender: Male

Location: London, UK

When I’m not working (I do the computer/numbers thing which keeps me gainfully employed) I enjoy visiting art galleries and can often be found gazing at the works of the British and European masters. I also enjoy reading literary novels, anything from Paul Auster to Dostoyevsky, and watching sport (motorsport, football, cricket, etc), travel, computer games (GTA3/CIV4). My music tastes are eclectic/bordering on random (Sonic Youth, Billie Holiday, Nick Cave, etc).

Later,
JK

Hi welcome, I do not feel the labels are the oimportant part about us and sadly the" use of misdiagnoses to cover for institutional incompetence, we have to add distortion of the scientific method for social purposes and refusal to tolerate superior traits in individuals...." :wink:
