I have made attempts to post things but I always ended up deciding I didn't want to...It's a strange process and I've always been terrible at introductions. Yet here I am, under the supervision of my two cats. Posting. Just grand. *pushes cat off keyboard* I think I needed some internet interaction with like-minded folk since it is so difficult to verbally express what I expect from people... So hello! (Please excuse my rambling...)

I know from myself that it's alot easier when people ask questions.
Don't you think?

Then you'll know what to talk about, (trying not to sound too mental here!).

What are some of your interests?
What's you primary goal of life?
Do you read alot?
Or are you more into videos?
How did you find out about autism?
Is it something you've always known?
Got told by parents?
Found it on the internet, and got interested?
Is it going to change your life, now that you know?
What are you going to do, seek professional help?, try working things out yourself?

Okay, that's got to be the best questions I can ask now. :P

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Welcome!

What are some of your interests?
I love reading. My other interests are rather narrow and intense.. I like hanging out with my cats, making origami stars, monitoring the water in my aquarium, and researching WWII.

What's your primary goal of life?
I think my goals include not being corrupted or changed for the worse, and building up my book collection.

Do you read alot?
Heck yes. More than I should, or so I'm told.

Or are you more into videos?
Not really. I usually pull out a book when I'm dragged to movie theaters.

How did you find out about autism?
I'm on the spectrum so I discovered it rather early. Probably when I was six or seven.

Is it something you've always known?
I knew there was something separating me from my peers, but I couldn't easily identify it.

Got told by parents?
Nope. Psychological evaluator.

Found it on the internet, and got interested?
I've done considerable internet research, but of course that was post-diagnosis.

Is it going to change your life, now that you know?
It has in some ways.. It hasn't changed my personality. I still do the same things I did before I understood what my diagnosis meant. People who find out from my parents or teachers treat me worse though.

What are you going to do, seek professional help?, try working things out yourself?
My parents are sort of forcing me into social situations in the hopes that I will learn what to do. I'll wait for them to get it out of their systems and perhaps try something else when I move out, like a gluten+casein free diet.

I'm no good at that, either. I don't think I ever did introduce myself. Just hung out lurking here until I had something to say* - now they can't shut me up. :oops:

I could not agree more! I've always thought that myself.
