brave new world....

hey, just saying hello to all you people in the brave new world of aspie's
to let you know a little about myself...

I have just had a late "working" diagnosis of ASC and am just trying to work it all out in my head.
I am now in my early 40s and have had problems with communication and relationships all my life really.

I do have some other aspo traits which i feel are actually very positive.
I am very creative and a visual thinker.
I went to art college in my early to mid 20's, then went to a famous performing arts college in my late 20's.
I am into making music, especially dance music (trance, house etc) and reggae/dub/dubstep, but also really into martial arts (at hobby level). I grew up doing karate, and have done other martial arts over the years but am really into Judo at the mo.

I really like sci-fi and twisted plots in films, and every now and then like playing my xbox one.
Like travelling a bit, been to India a few times. Last time being more of a spiritual tourist trip, going to a few famous historical "spiritual" places like the Golden Temple in Amritsar, DharamSala in Northern India, Bodhi Gai not far from Varinasi, Varinasi, Sarnath near Varinassi and Auroville near Pondicherry.

Presently learning to program online. as bit stuck for a decent job.
I am honest, fairly straight-forward and kind natured but hard to tell for some people, as i am often wired or stressed.

I wish there had been more support for aspies and dyslexics when i was younger, as i would have likely done better at school, at uni and in employment. But never mind. the past has gone, the future is still untold. We can try our best to make things better for ourselves and others.

Welcome madbutnotmad! Glad you're joining us. Everything fitted in place when I was diagnosed at 45 and finally began to make sense.

Enjoy your journey of continued exploration and discovery with us.
