Hey, I'm an autistic person from the Southern USA, and I though I should give you all a hello and see how many are friendly to me.
When I was 13, I was diagnosed by an inpatient doctor with Asperger's Syndrome. Before I had PDD, but after that it became official I was autistic. For all of my life, I've been different from people, but the autism was my primary disability, until about a year ago. I started suffering from General Anxiety Disorder then, which caused and aggravated alcoholism, and a few years ago I realized I was attracted to minors.
Now, I want to make this clear to everyone. I do not go out and fondle kids or try to seduce them. My sweetheart is an older teen, but he's above the Age of Consent. I'm also a very honorable person generally, and learn from past mistakes, so I would NEVER harm a child. What I'm trying to say is, my philosophy is different from almost everyone else's. I don't think sex with kids is inherently immoral, which, alone, will immediately alienates me from most people. I could use it as a nuclear weapon and could just drive away people that way. I'm also, while domestically a libertarian moderate capitalist, in foreign policy terms far-right and a strident militarist.
Generally, if I was asked what kind of autist I was, or what kind of person in general, I'd say I was an anxiety-ridden one with profound alienation issues, one who is drunk a lot and has not learned to be sober for any prolonged lengths of time, an honorable and moral person, someone who's into the furry fandom, and someone who has constant military ideations and visions.
Are any of you like this, or can identify with it or are at least friendly to my views and how I am? *waves his paw and tail* Oh, for my fellow autistic furries here, my species is raccoon.
