Talk about yourself for a bit

Post Reply New Topic

My name is Ren, (Sort of- my legal first name is Aubre, but I prefer a more gender-neutral nickname.) I am undiagnosed, but I've decided I can largely 'empathize' (somewhat ironic, heehee) with autistic struggles even in the event that I am never diagnosed. (I'm not a fan of self-diagnosis, I do not like saying that I "am" something without at least being given reasonable evidence that a medical professional agrees.)

I like to write, sing, play the guitar (very difficult- I have been playing for nearly ten years, and I still cannot play very well.), run (somewhat difficult due to motor skills, joint pain, asthma), play the taiko drums (Japanese drums. I have been playing for almost ten years.), and make digital art (very difficult because I have a hard time visualizing the finished product, and I have extreme difficulty drawing properly, or at all. I occasionally paint/sketch/etc. as well, but mostly I am devoted to digital work.)

I am a bit of a sci-fi "geek", I am fascinated by computers (both hardware and software), I like mechanics (I worked on bikes for years, and love to learn 'how things work'. I'm also generally interested in 'learning new things'- if a topic begins to interest me, I will research it ad nauseum. (Such as: law, anatomy, mental illness, autism, Disney Parks, etc.)

I am a food lover, and a music lover. I am also highly fascinated by architecture, fashion, home design, etc.

I have very narrow interests, but I have a lot of broad..."pseudo-interests", I guess- interests I spend very little time on, but still manage to fascinate me, I don't know.

I feel like this is getting long, so I'll stop.

Hi, my name is James, 28 and I live in the UK. I am male bodied, but don't see myself as a "man" in the stereotypical sense (at least not all the time), I just behave as I like and like what I like, so I see myself as genderqueer/fluid.

I have recently been diagnosed with aspergers, though I think it's quite mild, or perhaps I'm just good at "faking" some semblance of "normality", though that's very tiring.

I have a great interest in people, and this and other things led me to being polyamorous, because people fascinate me and I would like to have freeform relationships with them, I'm very respectful of people's existing relationships though and respectful of individuals as well.

I am interesting in computers, psychology, languages, writing, helping people and many different subjects, I love to learn.

I'm honest and open, so feel free to ask me things.

nah i hate doing that
as a human im pathetic in human terms

I hate kids, I hate dogs, especially puppies. I hate adults.

And most importantly, I hate YOU.

Thanks for reading.

But you like Speed Racer.

I'm Don. I'm 53 and I've been working at the same job (data entry) for 34 years.

I'm married.

I am prone to acting weird--but I won't act weird with people I don't know.

I like sports, documentaries, biographies, paleoanthropology, cultural anthropology, and many other things. I don't know too much about video games, anime, and other "modern" things. I'm computer literate--but not at "university" level.

I'm not a "throwback," though. I'll try anything.

I certainly don't act 53; at times, I might act 13 or so.

I'm not particularly tall--but I'm aware there are advantages to being short.

I don't believe Asperger's/Autism is necessarily a curse. If it could be channeled properly, Asperger's/Autism could provide an alternative means to one to attain success.

My name is Molly. I'm a 25-year-old lady.

I worship the Lord Cthulhu.

I am an abstract expressionist.

I can cook paella.

I have a thing for bricky-red lipsticks.

I never approach men, so I always wind up dating aggressive lunatics.

Sigh.

Hello, my name is Caesár, I'm 17 years old.

There aren't many people with their name written exactly like that.
I tried to look it up once and I found one other Caesár but I couldn't find any other information about him.
Maybe I time travelled to the past and it was actually my son that I named after myself or something, it is possible lol.

Anyways, I'm a silent a not-as-shy-as-I-used-to-be person but I write waaay better than I talk.
I like talking to people on forums because I'm not shy on the internet, probably because writing a posts isn't as hard as starting a conversation.
Though I'm still too shy to start my own topics.

I have this light switch thing with my mood.

When someone tells me that I'm funny, I will think that every funny thing I do is actually funny.
But when someone gives me negative critique on something, on college assignments for example, than I will feel sad about it.
I made a website once for a project at college and I got a lot of negative critique on it.
I do not like critique, especially not for something I don't like to do, in this case building a website, but it's part of my college study so I don't complain about it.

I know it wasn't personal, but I just felt sad about it because from my point of view, it looked like everyone else got compliments on their layouts and I got more negative ones than positive.

I also that the class hates me even though I know they don't.

No one from any class I have been in ever wants to talk to me (except for my friends)
In the last 5 years, from 6th grade to now, no one from my class has ever commented on my Facebook statuses (except for my friends)
And yes, I know I shouldn't make a big deal out of that but it seriously hurts me that it happens.
I used to be more shy than I am now, but I'm still bad at starting conversations, I prefer people starting conversations with me because they're better at it.
But they never seem to start one either.

Most of the lunch breaks, I sit in my hallway one my phone and I spend my time by going on forums, where I do get responses every day but it's also rare, but it still makes me happy because I don't have the idea that no one wants to talk to me.

I don't want to be that silent, lonely kid from class but it's just hard for me to say something.

Whoa, this is something I wanted to say all day long but I didn't expect this post to become so big.

Thank you if you read all of that, I really appreciate that you took your time for that.
Also if you just read a part of it, looked at it or if it subconciously came by. (Not sure if I Englished that correctly.)

My name is Darby, I am 37 years old (will be 38 in a couple of weeks), I am an American living in Sweden.
I have three children ages 5, 7, and 11. I am married, my husband is Swedish and is a professional musician and author. He has a pretty well known black metal project where he writes and plays all the music himself. I am an artist that works with a variety of different mediums and at the moment I am creating my own book at the moment which features art and poetry. We live in a cabin from the 1700's in the forest. We are hoping to be as self sufficient as possible, we are the the process of creating a sustainable farm on our land.

Two of my children have been diagnosed with autism and I have as well.

I have been diagnosed with chronic retinal migraines, chronic aura migraines, and chronic cluster headaches, there is no cure. I also have been diagnosed with complex PTSD and Desnos. I have a very loving and supportive husband and children, they help me through my struggles so I am very grateful for them.

I am me

I'm a 22-year-old male college student, majoring in history and minoring in theater, and I'm interested in connecting with a girl who is interested in a monogamous relationship. I like going to movies, reading books, using the Internet for research, entertainment, and social networking, listening to music, attending or participating in theater productions, and going to social events. I like animals, and I have a dog who is very sweet, albeit rambunctious and not quite house-broken yet.

I am avoiding going to bed because I got up at 2pm today and even though I have taken 5mg melatonin over an hour ago I still don't want to go to sleep. This is odd because I really love sleep but I think it's the case of the Sunday evening blues - going to bed means when I wake up it will be Monday and time to go to work. I don't mind my work so much but it's cold now and everything feels like such an effort.

I am not a collection of data. I mean, of course I am but I don't like to describe myself as such. I probably don't really correspond to most of my data anyway. It would be misleading. My age, for example. I feel really old and really young and somewhere in the middle. It makes no sense. I never fit into anything neatly but in questionnaires and tests, almost always come off somewhere in the middle. I am very boring but outside I look like I am really interesting. I always feel like I am letting people down because they expect something from me which I cannot supply.

Intimacy intimidates me.

This is nice. I can finally unload this stuff without feeling like I have to connect to someone over it. People always want to connect, it makes me very uncomfortable. I don't really get the mechanics of it.

My fingers feel very cold.

I made jam or a preserve yesterday. Not really sure. Basically I boiled down three bags of frozen summer berries and whatever was left of the bag of caster sugar I found in the cupboard. It tastes nice. I ate lots of it but there is a small jar left. I should probably not eat any more of it for a while.

This is quite fun. I can just go on and on and on and there are no horrified faces looking at me because 'I've gone off on one again'

I'm Josiah. I am a 17 year old male with blue eyes and blonde hair. I enjoy sketching, soundtracks from video games, and fiction books. I (obviously) and an aspie who has been aware of this condition for 4 years. I have never been in a relationship due to social clumsiness and an apparent pickiness. I have hopes of one day writing my own books and becoming a functioning member of society. That day seems farther away as each day passes however.

I am Groot.

Really, I'm biologically male, but I don't have a gender identity (skipping past that rabbit hole). I'm currently living in the states, gmt -6. I haven't been on this site in a while, but some rough happenings in my life made me remember a haven where people understand. While I'm not strictly opposed to a romantic relationship, I'm not seeking one. Really, I'd like some new people to chat with. I'm old enough to drink, but smart enough not to. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke. I don't drink coffee, soda, or most teas. My top interest should be obvious from my name (you can google it easy). I tend to self-teach myself various scientific topics through the internet (currently web programming stuff). I was diagnosed with Aspergers just over 4 years ago.
And I should mention another detail. It's a behavior which is rare, but happens. Sometimes I will completely cut myself off from society (on the net and in the physical world) for weeks or even months at a time. There are some places I've never returned to. But I'll keep coming back here.
I'm just interested in talking to some new people who I know will understand the aspie part of my life.

My name is Keegan (Irish descent). My family calls me a Heinz 57 (ketchup brand) because I am part German, Portugese (I have no need for sunscreen!) and part everything else.
