Welcome to WP, Aqua_Dragon and mamc1986!

Hi

im elin! i am 21 years old, and i am from stockholm, sweden. i am waiting to be diagnosed, i am probably done with the psychological tests in october.
i joined this site because i thought it would be fun to talk to people with AS world wide.
i work with mentally ret*d people and i love it.
my interests are music and cooking. i am also interested in history.
on weekends i like to go to concerts and clubs, or just stay home with a good movie.

Hello everyone,

My name is jess. I'm 29 and recently discovered that I have Asperger's after years and years of wondering why I was so different! My 6 year old son is also an aspie and he is probably the only person on earth I relate to. I tried to make a video to introduce myself but it was a piece of crap. I am going to have to write out a script or something in order for me to speak correctly into the camera. I am looking forward to reading more books on aspergers since I feel like I am reading about myself which is pretty handy when you don't understand yourself let alone anyone else. I am also looking forward to joining a local aspie group and who knows I may actually make some friends. I go to college and get good grades but I am terribly shy and awkward, I feel that if I just stay silent and keep to myself no one will notice that I am different. Obviously I need and want to work on this. Hopefully this forum will help. Making videos of myself would probably be a good idea even if I never post them.

My interests include cooking, vegetarianism, knitting, sewing, painting, art, reading, and music. Right now my obsession is desinging knitting patterns. I enjoy math because it calms me down and makes sense where as people do not. I am also very passionate about crafts and anything handmade.

I know that all of you aspies are very honest but just to remind you. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. Thanks.

hi.

i am calling myself jameson gerbil, because i love the taste of whiskey and talking to gerbils. they are highly perceptive and honest little beings. and soft and cute.

jess, i don't think anyone is going to criticize you here, at least on this thread. thank you for sharing. isn't it odd to read about yourself for the first time? i like to knit, too, so i look forward to your patterns!

hobbies include theoretical physics, star trek, computers, philosophy, rpg's, and recently i've gotten into survival games/stories. fun when i was a kid. i read "the hatchet" series. yum yum! now i am reading the clan of the cave bear. excellent, especially if you love anthropology.

am trying to learn how to communicate better. that is my goal here.

Im a 32 year old male who has got asperger's syndrome. I live in the south west of England. I have got a work placement in a nursery to do with horticulture 3 days a week. I drive to work in my own car. I like listening to dance, pop sort of music. I like watching soaps, documentaries about time travel, the universe,quantum mechanics, fantasy programmes, and films like sci fi, action, fantasy. I like reading about time travel theories, quantum mechanics, and fiction. I like dancing, trampolining, doing puzzle books. I go to an asperger meeting once a month and im hopping to get a social life out of it.

Hey all

Think an introduction from myself has been overdue, have been surfing wp for quite some time now, and probably like many people, my reaction when i first stumbled upon this site was "holy sh*t, i can realte to all this!"

Im 17, live in bangor, Northern Ireland (part of the north of Ireland is politically a different country from Ireland), currently studying for my a-levels. i was diagnosed with Aspergers at 10. Although at the time i didn't really care too much as i felt like i belonged within my school, strangely almost everyone treated me as an equal, all changed in secondary school though, which is when i began to realize how much As affected my everyday life.

My biggest interest is music, my favourite genres are classic rock and classic thrash/heavy metal. Not much else to add really

Hello Jamie8675309,

Where to begin?

I've only really been learning about AS the past 6 months or so because my eldest's therapist diagnosed him with AS. It explains so much not only about him, but about myself. We just had his diagnosis confirmed by having him participate in an ASD clinic (on my last birthday, no less) and many comments were directed my way about how "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

He's 13 and loves WOW, Star Trek, and is currently reading The Sword of Truth series. He's also a black belt in Kuk Sool Won.

I have an 8 yo son who's definitely not NT. He had 109 invisible friends until we moved to our current home about 5 years ago. He loves Marines, puppies (cannot have real dogs due to allergies so has a massive army of stuffed ones), draws battle plans, makes weapons out of anything, and used to make plans for world domination. Not sure if he's Aspie, but he's not "normal." Just hoping he's not bipolar like his dad - life is difficult enough without that particular kink.

Me - I'm 39 and finishing my MBA. I tend to be logical/rational. I often say things that I think are perfectly normal, only to have people give me strange looks. I don't have many friends, never had. I have been told all my life that I'm just "stoic" and I don't show emotions well. Less kind people have called me a robot. My fiance affectionately calls me his Vulcan. I tend to be rather open about my life and my experiences - more so than most I suppose. I tend to say what I think and I don't sugar-coat it. I have been accused of talking down to people which I personally think says more about the insecurities of the accuser than me. I'm into computers, Star Trek, Stargate, Harry Turtledove books, and like most things on the SciFi/Fantasy side. My other interests are brief, yet intense, learn-all-I-can-and-move-on things. I dislike spelling and grammar errors and they leap out at me when they are in print. I have gotten better about correcting people though - I just grumble to myself most of the time. I'm very passionate about education and learning. My boys are homeschooled because the public school system where I live wouldn't know what to do with either of them and most of the time, the answer is drugs even when they are unneeded. I tend to see details more than the big picture. I see patterns in everything.

See you on the boards.
