Hello everyone! My name is Harrison - I live in BC, Canada, and just turned 18 years old =3
I'm not totally sure that I have Aspergers, but after stumbling across a wiki page and reading a bit about it, I'm almost totally certain I have it ...
I've been very inclined at, basically, everything from a young age ... Artwork, Math, Writing, Sports ... but have always had a sort of 'obsessive' personality and difficulty speaking with others and absolutely suck at small talk =(
I won several Art awards at my school, recieved all sorts of scholarships for my achievements, had the highest marks in my math classes, was one of the top players on my soccer team, and have always had a pretty good sense of grammar =)
I come from a family line of hardcore inventors, businessmen, scientists, artists, and such - I'm actually closely related to Howard Hughes, Tim Horton, and some other guys! I graduated highschool at 17, and tried going to art college ... I was getting straight As and was on the Dean's list, but the teachers were so darn lazy, I had to drop out for the amount of money I was paying to be there ... I'm thinking about engineering at UBC instead.
I spent hundreds of hours created video games of my own and animations all throughout highschool (type in 'O Fortuna Misheard Lyrics Animated' in youtube for an animation of mine, haha) instead of hanging out with my friends or chasing girls, which I have come to seriously regret ... I didn't even realize that I was being obsessive .. I thought I was being 'determined' and dedicated to my work, but it was likely obsession ... bleeeeggghh =(
You know, I think people with Aspergers/High Functioning Autism are the creative/innovative ones who make big differences in the world as 'producers', and everyone else just 'lives life' as mediocre, small-talking 'consumers'.
Anyways, yeeah! That's me! =3
