What is your first name? Rachel
Age: 22
Location: UK
Hobbies and Interests:Ballet, kickboxing, fairy tales, languages, fine art and illustration (practising and appreciating), reading, writing, film analysis, puzzles, solipsism.
Why are you here?To find people I can talk to, and to sort my head out.

Favorite subjects: Art, English, German, History
Year/Grade: At university, reading English and German
Favorite music:Tchaikovsky's ballets, NiN, the Prodigy, Aphex Twin , Kanye West, Lana Del Rey, Metallica.
Books: Too many to list. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are my favourite books. Otherwise any 19th C. Gothic and Romantic literature, anything by Fitzgerald, 'true' ( 
) paranormal anthologies, the Millennium Trilogy. Folklore and Fairy Tales are a special interest; I like the way they interact, morph and reappear across different eras and cultures. I'm also never without my copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
TV shows/Movies:My favourite movie is Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). It's not the best movie, but it is my favourite: Gary Oldman is superb, Eiko Ishioka did amazing costume work, and all the effects are practical. David Fincher is my favourite director. I also love German Expressionist cinema. For TV I like House of Cards, Sherlock, Doctor Who, classic Scooby-Doo, Bojack Horseman, and Mr Robot. Those last two really get me.

Job: Student, but I work part-time in a supermarket and in HR.
Plans for the future?To harness the good and bad parts of my brain and translate them into creativity. I'm going to be an artist and a writer; I just need to get comfortable showing my more personal work to other people, because I think it is my best.

What is your first name?: Chelsea
Age: 29
Location: Northern California
Hobbies and Interests: videogames, boardgames, music, movies
Why are you here?: Reasonably sure I'm autistic, though I'm undiagnosed. Also confident I've got ADHD, but also undiagnosed. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, though, which at least, I think, makes me not neurotypical? idk
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): N/A?
Favorite subjects: What like in school? I liked English and History/Government/Social Studies. Should have done psych when I was younger, tbh.
Year/Grade: lol, I graduated a little over a decade ago.
Favorite music: Everything metal, just about! Also like weird but interesting stuff, been listening to a lot of retrowave/vaporwave lately. I have very eclectic taste.
Books: Everything by James Alan Gardner, I like Piers Anthony a lot, Neil Gaiman is god
TV shows/Movies: Love love love Steven Universe, Avatar/Korra, don't watch many movies lately but my fave is probably Army of Darkness (was definitely a special interest in jr high, I watched it every day for a whole year at least)
Instrument: I play drums! I can play a little guitar and keyboard, but percussion is my main thing.
Do you like sports? A little. Prefer to play vs watch, but would rather do a multitude of other things instead.
Family: I have 3 siblings; twin brothers that are about 19, and a little sister who is 14 I think.
Clothing: I prefer a gothy, rock aesthetic. I wear a lot of black, but also a lot of pink or purple. ^.^
How did you find this website?: Google
Job: I'm a professional moderator, for a game company's community. Can't give specific details but it's less exciting than it might sound; I basically have to sift through all the offensive material that jerks on the internet send to each other. 
Plans for the future?: I have a hard time envisioning the future. Currently my girlfriend Rain and I were pondering moving to Europe somewhere, and have been teaching ourselves Norwegian halfway for funsies and half to have some kind of other language when visiting.
Any comments?: This is silly and it reminds me of MySpace and I kind of miss that site tbh

Just to name a few.

I also dislike poor people. I don't even find abortion immoral because I don't truly think human life is something valuable in the first place.
>Any comments?
I was both a bully and a bullied kid. Violence solves problems is something I learned the hard way. It's the truth, contrary to popular belief. I still mistreat people for fun sometimes. I've been to a mental asylum once and I don't truly fear getting arrested. I'll try to behave, but if I don't even fit in among the high IQ nerds then I'm done. I also have a bit of PTSD.
I don't even think I'm mentally gifted because I'm not (or perhaps I am, who knows), but being an intelligent person surrounded by dumb poorly educated people can be pretty insufferable at times (Andalusians are the worst, WTF is wrong with them?). I think you all can relate to what I mean. We Aspies are geniuses compared to these idiots, which is why I feel a lot of resentment and hatred towards them in the inside.

Dunning and Kruger would have a field day. 
I absolutely cannot relate.
