I'm new here, so I suppose it would be appropriate to follow the template in the sticky:
What is your first name? Carl
Age: 25
Location: Socorro, NM
Hobbies and Interests: Math, Computers in general, computer networks, security, gaming, cartoons/anime, comics
Why are you here? Socialization, advice, cheating on another webforum
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I was informally diagnosed by my aunt (a Doctor in the field of psycology and had interest in research in the field of autism) in middle school, and a few years later I was formerly diagnosed.
Favorite subjects: Isn't this a redundant question? See hobbies, with the exclusion of the last three categories

Favorite music: I don't listen to a lot, but I like classical, and have some Simon & Garfunkel CDs.

Do you like sports? No
Family: I've got a sister who threw away a full college scholarship to marry some guy, and a brother who threw away a partial scholarship to... get drunk and spend half his time in rehab. I've only met my sister a few times since then, but I still get along fairly well with my brother and parents.

Plans for the future? 
Just keep going to college until I figure something out.
Other things:
I'm a hopeless introvert who gave up talking to people almost entirely (triggered by a particularily bad case of rejection) beginning in the 2nd half of highschool all the way through halfway through my first semester in Grad school, and I also missed massive portions of the school year in grades before that due to illness. I'm trying to recover, but it's incredibly difficult.
