...Oh, hi! I heard about WrongPlanet on another forum, and finally registered tonight.

I don't know if I'm an Aspie, ADD, or something else in the spectrum, but this feels like the right place to begin to find out. I'm 48 now, female, a "lifer" geek with out-of-sync social skills, an attention span that seems to be connected to a random number generator, and a demented sense of humour.

My interests: Dragons, cats (I have nine of 'em), computers, music (listening and playing), and producing weird art in various media.

Oh, and penguins. I adore penguins.

More later, but right now I have a lamp to fix.

Welcome to WP. I hope you are find out what you need.

You have 9 cats? It must be fun in your house, I only have the one cat and she's adorable, I love cats (I like tigers too) and I, like yourself, love music.

I too like cats and tend to knock lamps off tables. You're in good company here.

My maths teacher when I was in the ninth and tenth grades loved penguins and hated pandas. He wrote us lots of word problems featuring a character called Derek Penguin, and he put "Pandas are boring" on his website. Looking back, I think he may have had some aspie tendencies...

Welcome to the WrongPlanet. That lamp doesn't really have to be fixed just throw it anyway and get a bigger better one.

8O Why throw it away when you can fix it?!?

But hi; welcome :) I'm not sure if I actually have anything on the Spectrum, but I know I have far more traits and tendencies than the 'norm.' Enjoy being here! :)
