Good evening,

I am new to this forum and dont really talk a lot about autism in real life. I have not been diagnosed OFFICIALLY but my mother is a specialist in child behaviour and wanted to treat me myself and not turn me over to the somewhat... Not always understanding authorities.

I have a passion for history, a broad interest in politics and philosophy and love debating (you wouldnt expect that from an aspie did you) and playing with my lego blocks, building 1 m high piramides, sorted by color (have been doing that since I was 6) stereotype much.

Anyhow! Nice to meet you

Greetings,

Alex

Welcome! I love History myself, especially Colonial North American History. What's your particular area(s) of interest.

Hi lordalexander, you sound very interesting! Like you, I also have specific interests, some of which come and go. What age are you by the way? (not that age matters to aspies... just curious)

I hope you'll enjoy a long and happy stay here.

Hello Alex, welcome to Wrong Planet! :) It sounds like you'll fit in well here, so I hope you enjoy yourself.

Like you I'm very interested in history, politics and particularly philosophy, so if you'd like to talk more about these then just send me a pm sometime.

Welcome Alex,
Perhaps you're fortunate to have your mum in such a position.
Although debating is certainly not my "cup of tea", I still enjoy playing with "kiddie" things sometimes, even though I haven't enjoyed Lego stuff since I was like in grade school. Maybe I'll take it back up should I live to see retirement?
FWIW, I was one of those that lined up their toys when I was a little boy.

on the question of age; I am 19 years old, maybe a bit young for this forum? Maybe not. Maybe a bit of background info about me; I study tax law at a Dutch university and live with my parents ;)

Btw, I would love to pm with you about history! :mrgreen:

Of course you're not too young! We have active members from about age 12 upwards, and the oldest users are in their 70s.

Hope you're having a good time on here as you get to know everyone a bit better!
