Talk about yourself for a bit

Welcome to WP!

Hello, I'm AppleCat (real name Kate) and I'm new here. I'm 16 and I was diagnosed with mild Asperger's about six years ago. I understand facial expressions, tone of voice, jokes and I can tell when somebody is being sarcastic, but I always have had difficulty making friends. I think the main reason for this is because I don't really know how to instigate a conversation, so I generally tend to keep quiet in social situations for fear of saying something stupid and giving my peers an excuse to make fun of me. I guess I must have come across as cold and distant to some people, which might have scared them away. That upset me because I don't like people to feel intimidated by me.

I'm actually a big softie. I am a vegetarian and I love animals. I pick snails up from the ground because I get upset if I step on them. My hobbies include playing the piano, guitar and drums, balloon modelling, drawing and creative writing. I joined Wrong Planet because I don't know anybody else with Asperger's, and after reading some of the posts here I felt I could relate to them. I am willing to talk to people and offer my advice should anybody want it.

Hi everybody,
I'm Ryan and I'm 21. I was diagnosed with AS when I was 11, and while I did fairly well with coping with most of the issues that AS results in, after I turned 19 things really started getting hard for me, and over the last year, I've returned to seeing professionals, and been doing to a massive load of research on my own, which has brought me into contact with other aspies for the first time in my life. For a long time I was really turned off by the idea of talking with other people who have AS, but as I've gotten older I've wizened up and seen the benefits it has. I'm mostly a lurker; I do post intermittently, but I rarely engage the community full time.

Here are a few facts about me:

- I'm a vegan, but I am not the preachy or obnoxious kind, I just find it very satisfying in my personal life, because I adore animals, and I like the community behind it. No I'm not going to tell you what to eat, but in the event I see 'mindless vegetarian/vegan-phobia rants' (ie I f***ing hate vegans and I can't understand why they're such p*****s!) I will respond quite directly. I might also on occasion 'lightly' stick up for Peta, but not too much, because a good portion of those folks are quite deluded.

- I'm an obsessive atheist, and a 'tad bit' sacrilegious ; theists if I accidentally (or on some occasions intentionally) say something that you find offensive, please understand that I'm not making a personal attack on you, I just have a lot of personal angst and anger at religion, particularly Christianity.

- I'm bisexual and my highly casual openness about it often takes NTs off guard. However, given the rather high proportion of LGBT people withing the aspie community, I doubt I'll have to worry about homophobia here.

- I'm an obsessive fan of table top RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, the World of Darkness, Warhammer FRP, and many others.

Well, this shows Tim is friendly...

I have been diagnosed with medium-severity adult ADHD in 2004. Since 2007 I'm on Ritalin, and it suits me wonderfully - am so lucky! Nearly all my constant anxiety vanished after I started this medication and has stayed away since; I also sleep loads better. I suspect I have some aspie traits, also. I am becoming fairly convinced that my husband has something alike Asperger's - he may well be aspie-addie, too.
