Talk about yourself for a bit

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 15 with Asperger's and OCD. I have brown hairs and eyes. I am currently learning Spanish and my special interest is the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants," which you will see me mention on this forum a lot!

Hello everyone here. I am pretty afraid of talking to strangers, but I guess on the internet it is ok. I don't have a picture loaded somewhere to post here, but I put one as my avatar. It's from one of those rare times where being in New York state actually made me smile.

Anyway, I am proud of anyone who can endure being so different, and sometimes feeling like an outsider in your own race.

i am contained within the boundaries of my skin.
my mind is behaving as it is wired to do.
i am a breather of oxygen. and that is me.

Hi my name is matt. I'm a 16 year old aspie. When i was extremly yong i used to be one of the shyest people in the world. but im staring to come out of it. I'm amazed to have found a community of my fellow aspies. Awsome.

Nice to meet you, matt and Kara.

Ok, well it's a bit late, so this post isn't going to be long...

Basically my mum showed me this forum becuase I have a mild case of asperger's... and she thinks I really struggle at life because of it... Thing is, I feel just like a normal person, although I'm really shy, a bit overweight and really really want a girlfriend.

So yeah

Real name: Patrik (I like it without the 'c'...)
Age: 17
Hobbies: posting on a rollercoaster enthusiast forum... going to theme parks... going on long bike rides (if my bike ever works)

Music preference: I've been into everything at one point or another, I used to be into Queen, then I was into metal, then got into muse (and to this day muse is my favourite band) after muse I was just basically into everything, but now I am mostly into ska bands like reel big fish, cat empire and vampire weekend.

Dislikes: The thought of growing up and leaving friends behind and not being silly at youth group each week... a lot of other fears... but when it comes to actual physical things... not much really, although I find some things a bit boring...

Religion: I was brought up christian, but my parents became atheist a few years ago but I actually grew in faith as I realised what it meant to be christian.. until this summer, when I thought about it and now I am very unsure about the existence of God, but I like to think he exists becuase it feels better that way. Also, I think being a christian is better than not even if you don't believe just because of their attitude to life and one another...

So yeah, that's me in short... you don't even want to know what the long version of me describing me is like...

i am a cool 17 skate and bmx dude I love making freinds and meeting new people I have party chill attiude most of the time yeah I ma pretty sweet yo.

My name is Jules. Twenty-one years of age. I currently live in Los Angeles.

I was diagnosed with AS at the age of fourteen and have long ago come to terms with it. Since then, I have gone on to educate myself on AS as well as history, politics, philosophy, the ways of the world/society and human nature. As a result, I have always been regarded as very mature for my age.

As a child, I was regularly made fun of and bullied on occasion for my social/mental differences, which only served to further hinder my social progress at the time. Of course, my social skills have improved significantly since then, and have a small circle of friends.
Upon my readings and research after my diagnosis, I have come to a much greater understanding of how people think, particularly NTs (no offense). And that knowledge, combined with my having to deal with their crap every other day in middle school & high school, has caused me to develop a strong distrust/hatred of people in general. These days, I really only associate with others on my own terms, or if I have no choice but to do so. I usually have little compassion or empathy for others.

My interests/hobbies include gaming, anime, drawing, reading, deep philosophical thought/conversation.

I currently attend community college, with my major being Animation with emphasis in Game Design.

I'm currently working on a couple of video game concepts, have been for over six years. I am still in the very early stages however, mainly focusing on character design, writing the basic plotlines, and coming up with good gameplay concepts for both of my ideas.

My gaming preferences are action/platformers, RPGs, and fighting games.

I do not have a favorite color, because as an artist I end up using just about every color. I draw environments on occasion, but my specialty lies with character design.

My musical preferences are old-school hip-hop & rock, underground hip-hop & rock, and music from anime and video games. I loathe just about all of the popular/mainstream music.

I don't have a favorite movie, as I stopped watching them years ago. I believe that pretty much all movies suck nowadays, save for a select few good ones that only come out once every few years.

As for TV shows, I dislike most of the new stuff. Cartoons/anime from the 70s, 80s and 90s are generally at least five times better than most of the current stuff IMO.


Discovered WP through a Youtube video on AS, and so far it appears to be the one forum I know of that is truly worth wasting time with.
I do hope you all can deal with me without too much trouble.

I just realized how horribly rude I have been in not introducing myself and explaining in advance that some of my posts may not be to proper as I write or respond faster than I think. Sometimes I'm a little to blunt in the way I phrase things and don't think through things as much as I should. I also can't spell very well so sometimes I might have to a cut and paste on a post since this board doesn't have a spell checker. That method often makes it looks like I can't organize my thoughts to well (which I can't) but that's another story.
Anyway hoping that I can contribute something without becoming to abrasive to others here.

Hey everyone. My name's Steven, I'm 22 and I live in England. I'll come back here and write a little about myself later, but for now I just wanted to pop my head in the door and say hi before I start posting. So, hi!


Oh yeah and I have AS.

Hi,

My name is Emily and I am twenty-one years old. I can be shy and do not trust others that easy for I have been manipulated by people. I recently went to a group meeting at UC Davis M.I.N.D Institute in Sacramento, CA and liked it! And trying to find more group sessions to attend to for support and others who know what is it like with autism/aspengers and to also make some genuine friends, for I do not have any I really socialize with. But to be frank, I do have two best friends but one lives in L.A and the other in Scotland.

I have had autism since I was an infant and was diagnosed as severely-autistic at six years old then again as “highly functional” in the middle of elementary school and now was correctly re-diagnosed with Aspengers in 2007. I am a nice friendly person and very loyal. I live with my boy friend and very loyal to him and he treats me the best! (best gift I ever got due to my life experiences.) I do not mind if I talk to guys on here but to be very clear I am here for friendships.

A little more about me and my charter: I am a simple person who enjoys simple things. I am an honest and trustworthy person. Laid back personality and calm. I am fun and easy to get a long with, joking around anything I occasionally enjoy doing things but hate BIG crowds. I do not drink nor smoke and dislike attending parties, such as clubs and bar type of parties or gatherings. I am very very loyal to my friends. I am not the gossip type or really into celebrates. I love to shop or look around just to get fresh air. Walk in nice luscious parks with nature to be seen around. I do like to fish but not hunt. I also enjoy getting coffee and drinking teas.

I do love jewelry, the shine of it I could look at it for days, or really anything shiny! I love to listen to music of all kinds and love piano music, I practice mine daily. I like to write stories I am currently working on one now called, “The Bonds of Another,” I love to watch House M.D, family guy, supernatural, and funny humorous movies. I have a big scene of humor but do not really come out of my shell till after I feel comfortable, for I have rubbed people the wrong way with my jokes? eek! : ( I love kitties/cats. I have one that I recently rescued on Halloween, I am a sucker for animals but am intimidated around dogs for when I was three years old I got bit in the face by one, like anyone else do not like mean animals! I even save slugs and worms on sidewalks/roads for thats how much I care for creatures. But the only insect I fear are spiders!! !!

I have graduated form High school (2005) and last year earned my A.S degree in dental assisting at Heald Business College and now attending another community college to catch up on my English skills and math including my pre-reps to transfer for another A.S degree for dental hygiene. My biggest dream is to earn my Masters for Health Science at CSU.

If anyone wants an e-mail buddy/friend/support I am all hears and I reply promptly. Again, I am open to any personality or uniqueness. Be yourself If anyone is looking, here I am : D

Thanks!

Emily aka Sug_Plum.

They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days...

my pulse is presently 66 bpm.

Hello, my name is Tim,

Socially and politically, I would be considered a conservative libertarian.

Interest: Travelling, history, architecture, art, electronics/gadgets, foreign languages, maps.

Favorite TV Shows: Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, CSI, Smallville.

Favorite movies: I will watch anything...ANYTHING, then feel a mild sense of regret/guilt if it was awful.

Favorite music: Anything but dance or any other repetitive crap.

London, Edinburgh, plus countless other towns/cities - UK
Paris, Calais, Villefranche - France
Lisbon - Portugal
