Why are you here?
To mingle with other Aspergers for the sake of improving my social skills, but my crippling shyness keeps me from doing it... now I've only the courage to make a post here every now and again.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
Aspergers, around age 8.

Favorite subjects:
Computer Programming

Year/Grade:
In college, third year.

Favorite music:
Pretty much anything with a well-composed instrumental. Most of such music I know of comes from video games with non-lyrical soundtracks, though.

Books:
Feeling Good, by David Burns

TV shows/Movies:
None, but there is this online web show called Game Theory (by the channel known as The Game Theorists) that I really enjoy.

Instrument:
Used to play trumpet in middle school, and the recorder in elementary school, but have never done it again since.

Do you like sports?
Not really...I would be if my upbringing didn't prohibit or discourage me from pursuing sports.

Family:
My extremely overprotective, infantilizing mother.

Clothing:
Plain stuff.

How did you find this website?
A counselor of sorts several years ago recommended it to me.

Mostly getting over my depression and overcoming my issues with learning to draw.

Nothing, I guess.

What is your first name? Nyx.

Age: Currently 25.

Location: Edinburgh, Scotland

Hobbies and Interests: Cats, creative writing*, offline gaming, fantasy, horror, science fiction, magick, serial killers. To varying degrees with the gaming being the main one currently.

*in relation to any of the interests listed

Why are you here? I'm going for a specialist assessment at some point. Highly suspecting Aspergers. Even if not I feel I fit into the Broader Autism Phenotype and I personally don't believe the current model is wide enough.

Favorite subjects: Not in school but it was English.

Favorite music: Eclectic music taste but prefer orchestral, strings, and alt pop/rock. Also Dethklok.

Books: A few. The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien was the first one that came to my head.

TV shows/Movies: IT Crowd, Metalocalypse, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Amélie. Apparently Amélie herself is suspected to be on the spectrum. When I learned this about the character I became very excited because I've connected deeply with her since I first watched the movie as a pre-teen.

Instrument: Wish I could play cello.

Do you like sports? Hate the competitive nature that occurs with them but enjoy the aesthetics of gymnastics, figure skating, diving, etc.

Family: Only contact with two cousins through FB and my Dad on email after recently re-establishing contact. I consider my unofficial carer my family and my two cats.

Clothing: Usually I look like a beatnik, all black with leggings. Other times like a metalhead teenage boy when I wear a t-shirt too big and my boots.

How did you find this website? It seems friendly and useful so far.

Job: Disability Benefit receiver.

Plans for the future? Live is spiraling out of control right now but if it stabilises I'd simply like to write for table-top games. Not even for a career as I'm unlikely to ever be fit for work. I'd also like safe and non-sexist polygamy so may eventually try to campaign for it. And I suppose I'd like to find a quirky chick who may even be asexual though I am not to spend my life with. I can sort out my own sexual urges as long as she enjoys to kiss and hug.

Any comments? I'd be interested in more questions. I like answering stuff.

What is your first name?
On here? Fisplen
Age: 15

Location: Wales, UK

Hobbies and Interests: I occasionally use my telescope to look at stuff in the sky, I use to write and make stories but I abandoned that some time ago, I can't really think of any hobbies I have to be honest :/, I use to be big on video games, I still play some, but not to the extent to which I was say, 2 years ago or so, does making money count as a hobby? Jesus this is embarrassing isn't it, no real hobbies.

Fortunately my many interests make up for my lack of hobbies or skills, these include: Politics, Modern History, Astronomy, Architecture ( mainly modern ), currently trying to learn German, but not sure if that should be an interest or a hobby, finding ways to cope with life if that counts.

Why are you here?

On my second attempt at a comeback on these forums, when I basically did nothing and faded back into obscurity back in my first attempt in February

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
Well, officially its suspected, but all the doctors say I may aswell be diagnosed, we just haven't got to it. But I was tested for Asperger's about 9-10 years ago, when I was just a wee kid.

Year/Grade: Going onto Year 12 in September to start Sixth Form, atm I'm in the middle of my long summer break.

Favorite music: Rap, mainly old-school, NWA, Tupac, Biggie's gotta be my favorite. I'm into a lot of R@B from the 90s up until around the early 00's, along with house music too.

Books: 1984, The Hunger Games series.

TV shows/Movies: Breaking Bad, The Wolf of Wall Street, Inglorious Basterds

Do you like sports?
I like watching some sports, mainly football. But I don't play any, mainly because I'm terrible.

Family: I live with my Mum and 3 sisters.

Clothing: Anything goes, but I mainly wear a simple, not to decorated shirt and tracksuit bottoms or shorts if its summer, I don't really care what people think of me so I wear whatever's most comfortable

How did you find this website?

I don't like the changes to the forums since I've been gone, the new look is just blugh, I didn't update my iOS from version 6 because of the new looks, I just hate things being changed like that, no one was complaining before, for me it was much easier to navigate around in before these changes.

Job: Self-employed, kind of.

Plans for the future?

Get good A-levels, get an undergraduate degree in business, go travelling, come back in my mid 20's and start making my dream of operating my own nightclub or perhaps theme park, becoming very rich and famous of it becoming a worldwide renowned brand, a reality. ( Do I sound naive and unrealistic? Well better to aim for the stars and miss than to just poke your head above the clouds. )

Any comments?

This is my second time posting a reply in this thread, not sure if that's aloud... but my last one was quite some time ago, well over a year I would say, so surely there can't be a problem with doing this again after so much time?
