Why are you here?

Well, I had a lot of trouble with Asperger's as a kid because I wasn't diagnosed. After my diagnosis and through going to college and living independently and having jobs, I learned how to blend in. People don't know I have Asperger's when they meet me because I am so good at acting neurotypical. I don't want to do that anymore. It's exhausting and it doesn't gain me any true friendships. I am very lucky to have a couple good friends and a girlfriend who know the real me. Now I feel like I want to meet more people like myself who have a diagnosis because that is where the realness is.

When were you diagnosed? 18 years old. Senior year of high school.

Instrument: Piano and Percussion but I am out of practice.

Do you like sports? Nope!

Family: A sister who is 27 and both biological parents. I live states away from them though.

Clothing: Huge t-shirt collection. I prefer mens clothing. Cargo shorts are my favorite. I like to customize most of everything. I do dyes, tie dye, home screen printing, and sewing to make my stuff more "me."

How did you find this website?

I had an account when I was a teenager but I don't remember the login and I would rather start fresh on a new account as an adult anyway.

Job: Freelance art and film

Plans for the future? I am trying to earn a world record and that is my biggest goal. Otherwise just basic survival.
