Hello, my name is Tyler.

Hi there. I'm new here, but I've been haunting this site for a few weeks. I was diagnosed by a doctor as having bipolar mania about a year and a half ago, but I've had a lot of bouts with depression and other really high-level side-effects to the medicines and treatment I was having, so I sought a second opinion (and a third), and both thought I was misdiagnosed as bipolar, and instead suggested I was an Asperger kid. I have an appointment later in the week to take the "official" tests they give you, but my doctor had me take the online "aspie quiz" in the meantime, and I scored an Aspie Score of 167/200 and a NT Score of 29/200, and she seemed to freak out about that. So yeah, I'm thinking I'm an Asperger kid. Anyway, I was glad to find a site where there are a lot of people who feel the same way and have a lot (A LOT) of the same problems I have with making friends and fitting in and especially with communicating my thoughts and feelings with other people. I turned twenty on Friday, I live in the southernmost tip of Alabama (I touch the water!), and there aren't a lot of groups for people here with what would count as functioning autism, but I'd kind of like to make friends with people. I like vintage clothes and records, and reading, I'm a big history buff (I'm sort of obsessed with the French Revolution right now), and I really like Asian science-fiction and horror films. My favorite bands are Sonic Youth, Galaxie 500, and Jesus and Mary Chain. Anyway, if somebody would like to be my friend, I'm here in Alabama, all by my lonesome. Oh, and I really love writing. Okay. That's it.

Welcome to WP, hope you like it here.

Hi, Tyler!

*pounces* *lick* *pinches the little cheeks*(j/k)..

hi!!

welcome. I'm sure you'll find some solice here. I'm sorry that your town is aspie-less. I'm in a similar boat, though, I know they are here--I just don't want to travel to seattle.

whoah..they put you on the wrong meds? how traumatic..

Wellcome Tyler!!

Hope you enjoy! posting on Wrong Planet.

Hi Tyler welcome to WP.

Vintage records? We may need to get to know each other a little better and swap notes on our collections.

(Water's nice to live near, isn't it? I live by a bay I should get out to more often.)

It's nice to meet everyone. I'm glad this place is around.

You should message me sometime. I enjoy trading secrets of the "trade" as it were. I'd love to know what you've got crawling through your ears when you're by yourself.

Cheating right now by listening to some old game show themes I downloaded, but definitely the vinyl will be out for a spin later tonight. I'll be here for a while.

It's good to know that there is someone else who is aware of their possible Asperger's who lives in Alabama. Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hello, and thank you for such a warm welcome. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of freelance writing do you do? I review foreign films for a British-based Asian film site, and I'm always interested in others who write as well.

Nothin' real big yet, but I did some articles for my highschool newspaper and newsletter, and have applied for a paid job with my college newspaper. (I won't find out about that until October.)

I'm also minorly involved with some friends on a free, independent newspaper. (I've asked some questions of the people running it, and have joined the facebook group) It has the unoriginal, uncreative name "The Project." Since I don't think "The Project" is being planned very well at this time, I may not contribute any articles. But as I gain more information about "The Project," I may decide to submit something.
