Another awkward hello

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

I'm Adrian, I'm 25, and was diagnosed with AS at the age of 22. I had always wondered why, even when I was a kid, people seemed to think I was rude, disconnected, or indifferent. Or why I had seemingly endless periods where I'd be so involved in a particular subject that I would shut out the world around me so I could pursue said interests.

Case in point, I became so inexplicably interested in computers and the internet that I honed my skills so well that I made a career out of working in IT without ever having gone to school. And I have been told that I literally soak up computer knowledge like a sponge.

I had just always thought I was weird, but when I became older, it became a real problem, especially when I had to start making friends and socialize. I've never been good at it; hell, I've never had a steady girlfriend. But start talking about the Twin Towers, or something that interests me and the talking goes on for hours, even if the listener is completely bored. I'm oblivious to it.

I always felt like I was on the wrong planet, so the name is definitely apt.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here, and pleased to make your acquaintanceship.

Adrian

Hello Adrian. You're around friends here. A lot of 'em' - like m'self - are computer geeks. I was living in NY the day the twin towers got knocked down so that's a hard and sad topic for me.
