Talk about yourself for a bit
I was always socially awkward, and had few friends, though I don't think I've ever been truly bullied. Most people were indifferent or mildly friendly towards me most of the time.
My parents quickly realized I wouldn't last long in a public school environment and sent me to a private school with small classes and a somewhat unorthodox teaching style, and I flourished there, in academic terms. Bless them and their protective souls.
Most of the very good friends I've had all ended up moving away. I also had a girlfriend, but I ended up losing her because Most of my social life is now, you guessed it, online. There's something about the Internet that makes it easier to socialize for me.
Anyway, a little more about myself:
Interests: Writing, video games (VERY MUCH), animals. Most of my writing is "fan fiction", but I do plan to write something original someday.
Food: Chicken, pizza, ketchup, milk.
Movies: 300 (THIS IS SPARTAAAA!! !!), Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
TV: I don't watch much TV.
Music: I'll listen to just about anything, except gangsta rap and hip-hop. I love rock and metal, though. Favorite bands are Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed,
Books: I'm like books with factoids. I absorb random and useless knowledge far too easily. Probably due to my AS.
How my AS is: My personal AS is kind of mild.
-My biggest problem is texture and taste. I can't stand soda and mushrooms.
-Absorbs random knowledge easily.
-I talk to myself a lot. Often out loud.
-Eye contact is difficult. I call it the laser-eye effect.
-I used to have a major problem tearing myself away from video games, but I've gotten much better.
-I think one of the reasons I have trouble talking with people is that I feel like they're not worth the trouble...it's like a superiority issue or something. Yet at the same time, I have difficulty identifying with many of my fellow aspies because they just seem weird to me.
-I don't express a whole lot of emotions other than contentment and happiness. Sometimes I wish I could be a bit more emotional.
That's about what I feel like saying now.

I'm not giving out my name online, but I will tel you that I am somewhat short, a resident of Southern California. My name refers sad phenomenon of my urges to play a game or read manga\watch anime becoming rare after a back surgery to fix scoliosis, whose drug regimen I was on caused me to gain much weight. I think the lack of desire to game may be related to my weight, as people who lose weight typically speak of elevated energy, mood, etc. I am coldly logical when analyzing things and bluntly honest, the latter often to humorous effect. I have very thick skin, meaning it's very hard to hurt me with words. I was once hardcore, but that is no more.

Meh, I wrote out a really long post introducing myself and ended up with a mysql error that deleted all my work. So this time, I'll be brief.
Currently 23 years old living in Tasmania, diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at 19 (wasn't informed of the diagnosis until late 2005 due to a forgivable mistake on my parents' part). Late diagnosis was due to being the quiet one of nine children, I don't hold any grudges or anything about it, but I am disappointed about not knowing there was a descriptor for what was "wrong" with me. I am also asexual and have a long-distance significant other despite my intense distate for romance.
My hobbies include gaming (RPGs), drawing, listening to music (videogame/symphonic/orchestra/etc), and watching educational television and clean comedy (especially that of UK origin).
That's all for now. I'll lurk around mostly since I tend to have little to add to conversations, but I registered anyways just in case I do have something to say.

Hi there and welcome to WP!
I'm from the UK, but am going to be moving to Hobart in about a months time.

My name is Randall, I am 29 years old and live in El Paso, TX. I will be turning 30 on the 24th of this month. I joined the U.S. Army right out of High School, but was chaptered out aftere about 14 months for what they said was a personality disorder. I am wanting to go back to college and finish my degree and am also applying for SSDI right now.
About myself
Interests
Movies: The Lord of the Rings, The Star Wars Trilogy,
TV: Law and Order SVU and Law and Order, Heroes, Lost, The Office, Friday Night Lights
Music: I'll listen to mostly everything except rap. I also like Country and Contemporary Christian
I really like reading, mostly history. I also like Tom Clancy and some Michael Chrichton.
Ever have one of those days where nothing goes right?
Yeah, me too. I just erased my entire message.
Anyway, call me Beksie. I'm nearly 24, I'm from New England, and I was diagnosed with AS this past summer. I graduated from college, and have a BA in Communication Arts and English. I love media in general, sci-fi/fantasy in specific, but not Star Trek or manga. I'm a good cook. I can knit (but I never do). Politically, I'm a liberal and a feminist (but not necessarily a liberal feminist). I'm left-handed. I played saxaphone in school but am out of practice, and can play guitar (though the stub to my low E string is stuck in the body so I can't finish restringing my guitar). I should probably be writing for NaNoWriMo rather than posting here. I loved Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers when I was younger, and find this extremely funny:

NB: Austin St. John (the tough one) is American, and I'm pretty sure James Maclurcan (the pretty one) is Australian.

Hi, I'll go by Lortiz for now. I don't know if I have Asperger's or not, but I am seeking answers, understanding, and resources. My mind doesn't stop. I think in pictures and I spend most of my day creating stories, writing novels , or drawing. I have strong fascinations with seashells, animation, microbiology, and insects. On summer nights, I turn the light on so I can attract insects to the window to observe them. Sometimes I bring my favorite insects inside the house. ((This REALLY annoys my friends and family)) I love fantasy, science fiction, and comic books. Enya is my favorite musical artist. I hate shopping for clothes.

I'm Stephen. I'm 16, and was diagnosed with Asperger's 5 years ago. I'm into photography (I'm partial to film and Pentax-- I'll have to get some of my photos up sometime), music, electronics, and vintage audio. I go a science and math magnet school where at least half of the students, and at least one of the teachers, all have Asperger's too, which is pretty neat . Music, for me, is a passion, especially classic rock. I could easily listen to The Wall or something similar in its entirety in one sitting.
