Greetings

Hi, my name is Terry, and I am 38 years old, married nearly 15 years, with 3 children. (My two twins, age 10, are both autistic; Jackie is low-functioning, while Logan is high-functioning with AS.) I live just outside St. Louis Missouri, having moved here last June from Seattle due to a job transfer. My obsessions are (in no particular order): reading about religion and ancient history; Agatha Christie; Broadway musicals; and Pet Shop Boys music. I hate sports of all kinds; I will not play them, watch them, discuss them, or read about them. I also have signs of severe social anxiety, so I pretty much keep to myself most of the time. Apart from work and church, I don't really associate with people. I currently work in accounts receivable, but I am looking to get out of that field, which I probably have no business being in, and want to work in advertising or publishing--preferably doing design/layout or writing copy. I will be receiving my bachelors in June in Marketing, at which point I hope to move out of the department and into something more in keeping with my strengths and interests. I was diagnosed last Tuesday with AS/ADHD. I first began to have suspicions back in May '99, but spent eight years being misdiagnosed as bipolar. Hopefully, having fired the entire psych clinic which I was going to and taken on a wonderful clinical counselor who is working with the family doctor, I can finally make some progress.

Welcome to WP!

10 or 11 years with the bipolar and it may go longer. They're wrong. Maybe a touch of it, but I'm not to sure about even a touch anymore. This place is a huge gulp of fresh air. And what about them Mets this year!! (I don't do sports either, well not the common kind.)

When someone starts a post that says "Greetings" I kind of have a flash back, that might give you a hint as to my age and I just found out about AS, not long ago. It's all good, this draft I'll be glad to go along with.
