Hello users of WrongPlanet!

I'm SimpleSaga, otherwise known as Richard (or whatever variation of Richard you can come up with). I'm 17 years old and live in southern Minnesota where I am a high school student (I will be in 12th grade in September).

In school, I am active in several extracurricular activities, one of which involving a long-term independent research project that is presented annually at a state-wide fair. The topic that I have chosen is autism, something that I have found very intriguing since my 4 year old cousin was diagnosed with it last November.

I found WrongPlanet through another website about autism, and after lurking these forums for a while I've found several discussions that I would like to participate in, which led me to create an account. Strictly speaking, I don't have Asperger's, although I do have the sort of introverted personality type that seems to be common around here.

My interests include Pokemon (hence the avatar), other RPG's, fantasy novels, psychology and music (I play the violin and piano).

I look forward to meeting all of you! :D
