I'm a 25 year old Aspie male who lives in Belleville, IL about 20 minutes east of St. Louis, MO. I have been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism as well as Asperger's Syndrome since age 2, as well as GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) since 2008. I'm a huge weather nut who's into severe storms, snow, extreme weather, you name it. I'm also into astronomical events like meteor showers, comets, auroras, and the like. I'm also a big fan of Star Trek, Star Wars (though to a lesser degree), as well as other forms of science fiction and some horror as well. I'm extremely talkative to people once I get to know them and feel comfortable around them, and I can chat up a storm about my favorite subjects whatever that maybe at the moment. I learned of this site from Wikipedia's entry on Asperger's Syndrome and decided to give it a try.

Hi BellevilleAspie! Welcome to Wrong Planet! Check out the interesting and helpful articles and forums here. You are among friends here at WP!

I share many of your interests, but not to as great an extent. I also like both Star Trek and Star Wars, and in that order, too. I like interesting weather news and space photos. I sometimes save the photos from online articles and get to see them when my screen saver is on. I picked the screen saver that automatically displays random pix from the picture folder. I had tried other screen savers, but found I like that one the best.

Hope you like WP. I do!

Hey. I'm from central IL. Not too into extreme weather (Maybe I should move out of tornado-alley-season-zone?). I like star wars, but am more of a star-gate nut. I recently found out what aspergers really is, and when I look back at my life, I was covering it up from my family pretty successfully, but I have always known I have not been a social success. Now that I think about it, I remember seeing the definition about 30 times in my life(knowing that it might apply to me), but I immediately purged the word, i always knew because I hated the way I walk, and I was offended that the definition said "walked clumsily". (How dare this POS book, it can't even walk at ALL! Crazy thoughts, I know....)
Anyway, good to meet you.
