I'm attending Austin Community college for a computer science major. It never ceases to be challenging and interesting, especially given my technological needs. I posted something about the strange college kids under college, and under the hardest thing about school.

Cool...

Good field, I've done Applied Science - Computing and been working in the computing field for 15 years now. I was also pretty good on computers (in some not-quite-so good ways) :D for about 6 years prior to that.

There's a few (lot of) other people here who are pretty good on computers too - so if you need help with anything, feel free to ask.

It was exactly one year ago today that I made my first post on WP, in fact my first post on any forum.
When I joined there were 8230 members, membership has doubled to 16566 as of today. Wow!

I was on here nearly 2 years before I made my first post. I had actually forgotten I was a member.

You know I was so thrilled to find this site this morning..my two youngest daughters, who are 8 and almost 5 both have been diagnosed as Asperger's. I am so glad to find a place where I can talk to folks about the sorts of things that Aspies go through.

My 8 year old is desperate to make friends.....but has no "social camoflage" , no idea how to go about it, and no clue how to go about making friends. I would welcome any advice that I could give to her, to help her to r4each out to potential friends.....

My 5 year old is going to school in Sept. and I could really use some advice to help her in the same way.....i.e. reaching out to other school age children


I have an 11 year old daughter I suspect having Asperger Syndrome. This came up purely by accident in a conversation with a friend. For years I've been struggling with the things she does and why she doesn't get jokes or facial expressions. She hasn't been tested yet, but will be very soon. I have yet to find a site listing symptoms she doesn't have. I am very relieved to have found this site. If she is tested and is negative, the treatment is still the same, awareness of the difference. I cannot put in words the relief I feel right now knowing how I'll be able to help her.

This discussion makes me feel old. My life probably would've gone differently had I not found this place. That said, I miss a lot of the older members. All those awesome personalities, just not here anymore. :? Don't know how long I'll stay here again, I've mostly gotten over everything discussed here. Anyways, thank you Alex blah blah blah...Awesome site. :P

I'm a newbie, and I'm so glad this was started! Nearly all of the postings are relevant to me, which is, to say the least, a big change from day-to-day life. THANK YOU!

Hi, and congrats. I hope you enjoy the site. As a person who spends plenty of time on the computer, I find it refreshing when compared with all the junk on the net they call "entertainement."
