Hello My name is Tony and i was told i had aspergers when i was 11 yrs old and it had wrecked my high school life due to fact the school didn't want me because they lacked the understanding of anyone with special needs due to fact that so my parents and teachers agreed to sent me to special needs school until i was 16 then i tried college but failed due to lack of interest in doing anything that didn't test my ability. I was told that i would be going to another special needs school where it changed my life. The teacher there really tested my ability's and gave me more respest then i ever had from any teacher in my life. I got so confident that i was often helping the teachers all round the school with the pupils and computer stuff when it came to leaving the school. i was upset but i knew that i would always visit once a week but its been ages since i have done that and i managed to get job at local shop where the owner has known me for years before getting the job so he knows and understands me and often lets me making major decisions about the shop future which i like. Been working at his shop for 5 years now and loving it

Sure you know a lot. Maybe not what anyone expects, but you do know.
Overall you have some life experience that most people don't.
What sort of films (genre)? or name some... I'm looking for new good films to watch :D

Unfortunately I'm not much interested in climbing, but there MUST be at least one other person in here who are.
