I think it's my turn now.

I'm Brian, 22, and live in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. My hobbies are Reading, Video Games, and recently I have taken up bowling. While not diagnosed with Asperger's, I am sure that I have it, and joined this site mostly cause I needed something to do, but also could probaly benefit from meeting people here. Right now I work at a Pizza place, which I am starting to get real sick of working at, and come January 15, I will start school again at the nearby coummunity college. I think that is about enough from me now, thanks for reading!

Howdy I'm Michelle. My age is 21 and I'm currently living in Arizona, but was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I'll be moving to the UK either sometime this or next year to live with my fiance ^0^ He's also a member of this board, his nick is Sam4. We both have AS and have just recently come to find out we both have it together. I really love movies, music, art, cats and the internet. I'm pretty shy and have trouble figuring out how to approach strangers and therefore never know how to make friends, outside of the internet really. I'm hoping to be able to start some college courses on web and graphic design so I can start my own freelance web/graphic design website. Nice to meet you all =^.^=

Hi, I'm Pieter, 23
I live in Belgium, I recently found out I have AS. I don't have lots of friends, well hoping to make some more.
Hobbies: doing little creative projects like making little movies (alone or with people I know), I play guitar (I have only been for playing 1 month, so I don't sound like a rockstar yet), I like lots of other things too.
I like watching good movies (favorites are Fight Club, La Meglio Gioventu, Amelie Poulain), I listen to music all the time (rock, blues, classic, at this moment I am really into Pearl Jam), traveling, art and I love everything about Italy (speak Italian).
If you have similar interests (or none), just send me a message or AIM to: jivanand

I just posted in the singles thread a little while ago. I didn't see this friendship thread at first. I'm feeling a little lazy, so I'll just cut and paste what I wrote over there :) :

I guess that's all the important stuff.

I get a bunch of jumbled up thoughts in my head, so here's some random crap: I like turtles. I started liking them last year. I was in class and I was thinking of the letter T. So I was like "T......TURTLE." All of a sudden I wanted one and that is the story of how I became interested in turtles. I'm in college but I really have no idea what I'm doing there. I've never had a job, but hopefully one day soon....I have a fish. I don't like fish much anymore. I've considered putting it in the tank with turtle to see if he would eat it but that seems kind of cruel since I've kind of started to bond with this fish.

I'm pretty open-minded.
I try not to judge.
I'm the nicest, sweetest person I've ever met.
I like guys.
I like girls.
I like books.
I like funny people.
I like romantics.
I think I'm pretty romantic myself.
I like people around my age.
I don't like making speeches.
I'm horrible at those.

And I think I will stop there. If you'd like to know more random crap about me or tell me random crap about yourself, then pm me. I could have organized my thoughts much better, but that would've taken at least an hour.

I'm not really sure what I look for in a guy/girl. I can only go off what I've liked about past guys/girls. I've liked guys/girls who were into metal music, guys who had long hair, guys who would do things just to try to make me happy, guys/girls who were nice and sensitive, guys who were tall, guys who were kind of psycho, and so on....
I'm mostly looking for a friend right now, but if that happens to lead to anything, then so be it.

Hello, my name is Quantum Cowboy, and I am an aspie. :D

I am male and 29, and only discovered that I was an aspie this last summer. I am currently not able to find employment in my field (hardware design). This is likely due to a combination of the industry being in a depression (especially in North America), and the fact that my aspergers tends to show up unfortunately in interviews. My last serious chance ended up with the company flying me out for and interview, and then later telling me that my social skills weren't good enough to work as an engineer. Ouch!

However, that may be for the best. If I had taken that job, I would not have met my GF. She is diagnosed with ADHD. However, I have decided that I will diagnose her with AS, and treat her as such. :wink:

I just found out today, that she is actually has a WP account. She joined, but never used it. Her user name is karalianne. So, everyone send her lots of messages, and fill her inbox. Maybe we can convince her to spend some more time here. 8)


PS. I am looking forward to making it to the 200 mark, like the OP says we will. :thumleft:

Hi Quantum Cowboy,

Engineering.... next year I will probably resume my engineering degree in college (I quit 4 years ago in 2nd year).
I hope I will not have too much problems finding a job, anyway good luck in finding a job.

I think that it largely depends on the discipline of engineering that you select. Civil and mechanical engineering are hot markets at the moment (at least here in Alberta). If one wishes to make a large amount of money for little work, specialize in environmental engineering. There are many environmental impact reports required for most large projects. They are comissioned for thousands of dollars each, and are largely cut and pasted from previous reports.

Personally, I am in hardware engineering due to the fact that it is one of my perseverances. Ah well. :hmph:
