Talk about yourself for a bit

Welcome to WP!

testing to see if the reply is working..

Hi all, i'm new here.
Things about myself.. i like animals, researching random things that interest me online, video games, bmxbikes, true crime stories, reading books. I enjoy urban exploration abandoned places, motorcycles, photography, tattoos.
I'm 30 years old.
I have a beautiful wife who i live with. Hopefully we'll be moving back to Florida soon. Right now we're in the glum Northeast living with my family again to save up money.
I dislike the tv, however my wife will get shows for us to watch online and the 2 i like and watch are Fringe and Criminal Minds.
The purpose of tv is for video games, i enjoy shooter type games on the Xbox 360. I am racking up xbox 360 live points to sell them eventually one day to fund our mortage when we move.
I have a really hard time being in public and i'll avoid social situations. We work online (my wife, Ally & i). It is easier for me to not have to deal with the general public on a daily basis in person.
All through out school since kindergarten i was made fun for being "weird", "odd", everything on the list. I never conformed to their standards and i never will, i can't help it, it's who i am
When in grade school, i had "behavior problems" that included not paying attention and listening to the teacher, however in 3rd grade i got out of special help classes. In 1st grade the "special help class" teacher recommended to my mother to put me into a theraputic horse back riding program (to try to help my social skills) which i did for 8 years until the stables closed down. I had an excellent riding instructor who i lost touch with at age 16. I feel that horseback riding was benefitial, unfortunately though at my old age i've not rode in years. I was diagnosed with Aspergers in 98' at age 18. I do have meltdowns if i get too frustrated or overwhelmed with things.

Sometimes people take what i say the wrong way and it gets me into trouble. I'm not sure if i'm wording things wrong or they're reading it wrong or what the case is.

That's enough about me

Not sure if I'm doing this properly but have just joined this site to try and make friends because... well everyone knows how tricky it can be at school. I'm in the upper sixth, doing maths and physics A level, hoping to get to Cambridge next year and spend a lot of time on my wii and ds i and iphone when away from it. I'm 17 and male and well if anyone would like to make contact then please do. It would be nice to make friends with anyone from the north of England. I'm glad I have found this website as it seems a good way to make friends with people. Max

I'm Ishtara or Ish online, and a longer and more confusing string of names in real life. If you Google 'Ishtara', you'll find the name is also claimed by a bellydancer, a sex therapist, and a peach rootstock (and I'd like to reassure you I'm none of those).

I'm 26 years old and I work in IT whilst studying criminology part-time. Most of my interests revolve around medieval history and the Society for Creative Anachronisms, through which I met my partner. He understood me and my quirks before I learnt they had a name, and ours is a very happy and peaceful household. We read, grow vegetables, and play a lot of computer games.

My name is Neil. I'm short, weigh too much, and eat mo' chicken any man ever seen. I am an audiophile, read many books, and enjoy screaming like an idiot with my Death Metal band. I've held a great deal of jobs, and currently am both a metal fabricator and a Tattoo artist, profession-wise.

I have a five-year-old son who is undiagnosed Aspergers or Hyperlexia... We're not sure... But he's on a waiting list at Seattle Children's Hospital for an AS evaluation. I also have a painfully acute memory, and everything- EVERYTHING- that my son is doing, I can recall doing at his same age. He's quite brilliant, but not socially active at all.

Many days, I feel like my head is going to explode.

I look forward to talking to youse mugs, and only hope that the 'no swearing' restriction in the rules will not be a problem for me, as I add filthy words to my writing like a chef incorporates the finest spices to add flavor to a dish.

I'm new here, so I guess I suppose to introduce myself.

When it comes to different to categorize people by their nationality, religion, occupation, gender or neurological anomalities, it feels a bit awkward to me because I see them artificial. I'm not going to tell the whole story about my nickname, but in a nutshell, Zeroness refers to semiotic theories of Charles S. Peirce about perception of reality and in my mind it has combined with the Buddhist idea of "non-excistence of me". On other words, it often feels difficult for me to choose which labels to tell first about me because I find them all equally artificial to tell about anything real about myself. In addition, I also love paradoxes and by telling all this I labelled myself with these ideas, with these theories which indeed, is also a paradox.

By those common labels I am Finnish from my nationality, my favourite religion is Discordianism, occupation is graphic designer (or some sort of illusionist which might be fall more into to the category of artist than traditional magician), gender is male and what comes to neurological anomalities, asperger syndrome seems to explain pretty well many of my interests, unsocial behauviour and overally strange childhood as I was no like other kids on the neighbourhood.

Please to meet you all, be seeing you.

Hi, I'm Chris, and I just joined this place. I stumbled upon this place one night randomly googling. I thought this place looked like a pretty neat place.

I really like music as my username sort of suggests. I've often been labled as weird, quiet, and rude so far. It doesn't bother me much either so you can call me weird too.

I've found, lots of loud noises like public places really bothers me and confuses me very much(but organized loud things like music are very soothing), sometimes it just angers me and makes me really tense. I've talked to my folks before about actually getting my diagnosed but that's as far as it got. I've researched endlessly into autism, aspergers, and OCD. It seems the strongest one that I seems to hit the most closest to me is aspergers. So yeah.

So, onto my interests. I have been self teaching myself pro audio since I was in 6th grade. I now serve in my churches youth ministry as their unofficial audio/video production manager since that age. I have occasionally worked with the Sunday morning services as well. I am very anal about how certain things should sound and if people are fiddling with my mixer while I'm mixing. I really like computers of all sorts, Mac, Windows, Linux, BeOS. You name it, I like it. I may not have a computer that runs BeOS but I still am very interested in it, and yes I've heard of the recent update called Haiku.

So yeah, that's me. So much for a small intro.

First of all, to those who are new here, welcome to the greatest forum for Aspies in the world.

Then more on myself...

I came here initially to have fun..

I am now living in Singapore and I'd lived here for like for as long as I remember. However, I would want to travel all around the world, from the rich swanky malls of Beijing to the crumbling ghettos of Detroit, MI (home to my beloved Lions and Tigers)...

I do not believe in organised religion, because I was never patient nor calm enough to listen to any word on the things and ideas that I don't understand. I prefer to explore spirituality on my own... I'd already ruled out atheism as it cannot fully explain the presence of order on Earth. I'd ruled out a few religions as well as I fail to understand 'reincarnation' (Buddhism especially). So yeah I am still searching for some inner peace.

And I'm a walking contradiction. I hit people with brute force but I sometimes also reason. I watch sports for a darn long time with fervor but I am bad in sports. Most importantly, I write little but always think so much, my head is going to explode... ARGH...
