Hi! I go by a lot of usernames on the internet, but I (usually) go by the internet pseudonym of Wildcat.

I am 24 year old woman and I was diagnosed when I was around 2 years old. I am currently in college as a computer science major; hoping to become a front-end website developer. I have a lot of interests. My major ones include 20th century history, storytelling, animals, and retro video game consoles. (The 3DS is the best console, by the way!)

Looking forward to becoming acquainted with all of you.

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

I also studied computer science in college. But that was a long time ago...for some things I even used a punched card!

Welcome to Wrong Planet

You said that you liked animals. For many years, I had animals. They lived outdoors. They were always one cat and one dog. I would train them to become friends. The way this is done is by smell. I would hold the dog tightly and let the cat sniff the dog. Then I would hold the cat and let the dog sniff it. After that they became friends.
