Hi Wrong Planet People,

I'm Neil, adult Aspie, been dx'd nearly three years, married, divorced, live on my own, work full time blah blah blah.

I'm living in (not so) sunny North Yorkshire (UK) with a pair of guinea pigs (unlike people, you can buy their affection with the occasional green bean :D). I work full time as a computer programmer (yawn) and when I'm not doing that I'm either running, cycling, have a computer in pieces, or am confusing the hell out of people (it's a gift). Even wrote a couple of books and still occasionally dabble with the odd article.

Like a lot of Aspies I've been through the mill a bit since being diagnosed but am pulling myself together and am trying to face the world head on, refusing to give in etc.

I'm sarcastic, cynical, evil (in a good way), insane (again, in a good way) and can generally be relied upon to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, or just come out with something totally stupid. Like moss, I'm sure I'll grow on you eventually.
