Friendship Board - Ages 15 through 18
I am posting again because I want to make a longer description, and because I can't edit the last one anymore.

Tween Mode: insane, weird, quiet, boring
Algorithm for the modes: When I meet someone, I start out in tween mode. Once I get used to them and understand them, it goes up to Happy Mode. If they piss me off, it goes to Angry Mode. If I'm not interested in them at the moment, it goes back to Tween Mode. That's basically the algorithm. For those of you who are C programmers, I'll make it easier for you to understand. However I'm too lazy to do that at this point, so I will edit it in when I'm bored.
--Survival--
coping skills: food, music, computer, sleeping
favorite foods: cheese, general chicken, tamales, pizza, pasta, ice cream, mac 'n' cheese
--Final Word--
If you think you can stand me, and you're in my age group, you can PM or IM me. Just tell me you're from WP. Later.

Hey, I'm sixteen. I was thought by my mother to have Asperger's, then subsequently (mis)diagnosed with "mild ADD," and then told I was "gifted". So I left it alone for about the past year, although it's been nagging at my subconscious, making me consciously feel like some awkward freak of psychology (as opposed to nature) -- although this view of myself has sparked an overflow of creativity, leading to the makings of a quasi-autobiographic story which I hope will one day become an anime ;D. But then, just a few minutes ago, I decided to look up Asperger's on Wikipedia and diagnose myself. After reading the article, I'm almost certain I have it, or else something very close to it. The article mentioned this website, so I came to it -- and I'm EXTREMELY glad I did! This could do wonders for my confidence, self-esteem, and even my behaviour. You see, I think some aspects of my Asperger's have worsened since going to the shrink. I feel tense and awkward in public. I even look awkward. I think I always did, but now I'm aware of it, so it's worsened. And so on and so on, ad nauseum. But there's also another side of me -- a side that LIKES having Asperger's. Here is the reason for that:
Ever since I went to the child psychiatrist (which did wonders for my self-esteem, "Hey! Check it out! I'm messed up!" "Look, Ma! No sanity!"), I've begun to think of myself as someone who is, in some sense, insane (Hans Asperger himself even used to call it "autistic psychopathy," so there you go). In a sense, I sort of glorify having Asperger's in my own mind by seeing myself as some tormented soul. Thus, I've blown it out of proportion a bit in my "story" (see above) by creating visuals of my emotions and thoughts, my own mind, and my way of viewing the world. I hope no one takes offence to that... Because I think the story's going really well in terms of describing my inner struggle with this... "thing" (that's not the right word... but whenever I picture my actual brain, I see something that sort of looks like a short circuit, or something that isn't quite working properly, ya know?)
Anyway, as usual this post is WAY too long (I definitely fit the criteria of being "verbose"), so I'll shut up now!
Oh no, wait! Other info!
I'm female and live in Canada. I'm into anime/manga, Harry Potter, The Matrix, and... working on my story! Btw, I've got part of it written on Escape-ism. If you want to read it, go to the site www.escape-ism.com and search "The Seven Selves". Hope you like!

Did I write in this thread, I don't remember. I have some undiagnosed memory problems ...
Location: Poland, Tczew (Pomorze, near Gdansk)
Age: 18
Interests: Psychology, philosophy, anime (was a compulsive anime fan during 14-16, after that got panic attacks, and guilt feelings because of "wasted time"), video games (Was a compulsive ps2 player, once played guilt wars but stopped after feeling guilty about not doing anytihng productive),
Diagnosis: Freudian Psychologist would just pass his social izolation and mottor clumsiness as a form of defense mechanism, (Yet most psychologists in poland are quacks so just treat is as something interesting to know about), self- diagnosis- OCD coupled with aspergers syndrome, (bot undiagnosed, although I was refered for observation for my Aspergers syndrome but never was diagnosed), I am also frequently depressed.
10 Last read books (I think what a person does with his/her time might illuminate much more about the persons interests than an ambigous description)

7 Moral Orel
8 Robot Chicken

Thank you for reading this post.
I'm an 18 year old male, and I'll be starting as a college freshmen in a week. I was diagnosed with AS a year and a half ago. I live in New York's Hudson Valley, which is an hour and a half north from NYC. I guess i'm a pretty average aspie, my intersts include hiking, fishing, and pretty much everything else that involves the outdoors. But I also enjoy history and writing, and I want to major in environmental science.
