I just joined about an hour ago 
I'm a self-diagnosed Aspie.
I just posted a thing on how my parents will probably not believe that I have AS.
I like video games, European history and that tv show, Monk.

I like Monk, too.
Sometimes at work, they call me "Ms Monk" in a kind way, but it makes me more acceptable to them when they know that Monk is excellent in what he does, too.
welcome home, Chell.

history rules. try to combine history research with archaeologic research / insist on updated history 
theres a lot of tradition VS archaeological evidence, a good example is the history of norway (since i live here) most norwegians know the traditional history: this king hårfagre (hairfair) promised some blonde hottie to unify norway, and KABOOM he unified it on a pile of dead vikings.
in updated litterature this is now refered to as a lengthy (and much more realistic) civil-war period, and much less "kaboom"
theres a lot of nifty convenience in history, especially in older history, where the tedious details have been replaced by poetic simplicity. how do we know if the epic simplicity of many of the ancient battles, are really true? what if julius' conquest of rome was in fact much more complex and long lasting, and so on.
