Greetings!

My name is John Hawkins. As of this year, I have been diagnosed with Asperger's. Wow, now so much makes sense (and so little helps!). I want to learn and understand the neurotypicals (NTs) and while I am not shy about speaking out in public (and ending up with my foot in my mouth!) I feel that I cant understand people and social structures at a level where I could blend in. My doctor - who specializes in helping people with Asperger's - told me that it would be best to find like-minded people so I can have an easier time communicating. So... I hope I'm not going to be a burdan on you all! :wink:

Anyways, a short bio of me follows:
White, caucasian male. Usually thinking. 5"9 1/2 feet tall. Ethnic Romanian, naturalized American. Birthdate: May 15th, 1984. Expected demise: February 24, 2058. Majoring in Game Art and Design at the Art Institute of San Francisco.

- John

Welcome, John!

You will find we are a diverse community, facing the spectrum of autistic problems. Just to let you know, I like to use Socratic irony, satire, and absurdity a lot. So if you're offended, reread what I've written before making an angry reply!

Just wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome! I'm really liking it here, and so far posting and talking to fellow aspies are one of the things that I most look forward to each day.

'ello Johnny, meek and mild! I had a good little laugh over the notion that so much makes sense and so little helps! So true!

Enjoy your stay: you will find complementary guest soaps in the bathroom and fresh towels in the
cupboard under the sink. :D
