Hi.

The real name behind ichtms is Tomas. I've been a dx:ed Aspie for 6 months and I've been very busy posting at AFF; so busy that I've developed a back/shoulder/neck/arm-type problem from being glued to the screen in a way that's not very wise. I'm a one-finger-typist; right pointing finger. In June I'll turn 42. I'm a collector of odds and ends; mainly plastic screw corks and pieces of objects, that catch my eye; read color + material. I play the electric guitar and produce sounds beyond its usual range by fooling around with screwdrivers and random tunings. It has been described as "drones". I celebrated my 40th birthday by doing a one-day installation at an art gallery. I called it "Identification - an exhibition of the ramifications of the self."

I was born in Sweden and I've always lived here... I'll stop here before I'll start weeping...


Cheers! :wink:

Hi!

I hate to be the bear of bad news, Tomas, but mentioning Aspies for Freedom is against forum rules here!

Welcome ichtms,

It is a shock to discover that there is a reason for being yourself. Self can be a lot of fun.

Lots of range here, you will find yourself in others.

One finger typing does hurt, much better to use two hands, even if you still can't type, it spreads the strain around.

Hi! Sometimes I stay typing sitting at wrong position for so long, what causes me troubles that I minimize doing exercises, that are of great help to this.

Sometimes I feel here we are the "aspies for chains", or for sufferings, but we will soon change all this.
I type using one finger at each hand, what induces me to a more simetrical position!

Welcome!

I think their administrator had unintentionally allowed our administrator to move on, and she left here.

Welcome ichtms/Thomas. Have fun here.

I'm sure I've seen someone else from Sweden appear on the board...

There's a map here. Unfortunately, not a huge number of people have put themselves on it.

Ah! One 15 year old zingo is on the map, but seems to have Sweden as an occupation!

Interesting... out of interest, by scanning users (look at the bottom of your profile), sorting by location and guessing - this is part of the list showing those who have given sweden as their location.
