Hi, everyone,

I've been aware of Wrong Planet for quite awhile, but never joined in. But I've been talking about my Aspie-ness over at a Facebook group of over a million Christians, "One Body of Christ Experiment." Yesterday someone posted a new topic: "If you could go on a mission to any place, where would it be?"

Naturally, I typed in "Mars." That led to mentioning the "ever since I was a child, I believed I was born on Mars" bit. The OP obviously was talking about a religious mission, but for me it was a chance to, at least in my imagination, "go back home" from this 'wrong planet.' I linked them up to the WP home page, and started browsing it again myself. I'm here!

------------

I still have a few minutes before getting ready for Sunday school.... what to include? I'm a male, 58, unemployed, Ace orientation, never married; into 2nd of 5 years of treatment for a pituitary adenoma tumor; B.A. in English, Art; career in newspaper writer/editor, graphic artist on Mac; live in generally international community surrounded by the Bible Belt in the deep south of the U.S.

Looking forward to reading these threads and catching up on everyone. I've known I had Asperger's since seeing it featured in a Parade magazine story about three years ago. Wow, epiphany! :idea: So that's why I was always the "little professor," a grade or two more advanced than my classmates. Wow, no wonder I get so intensely focused on a few topics. Wow, so that's why I can be so self-absorbed and uninterested in all the social mingling.

Gotta go. Keep me in your prayers, any of you who are religious. See ya! :lol:
