On Wrong Planet? It gives me answers that I can't seem to get anywhere else and it sure is loads of fun.

My son was diagnosed last year, aged 13, and through his journey I have made some significant self discoveries. It makes sense to me that I too am an aspie (undiagnosed).

Favorite subjects:
English: I have to get it right, state my point precisely and make it interesting. What a delicious challenge!

Love it all! Except techno...

Books:
I can't seem to get enough of books on AS these days. I Have just read Look Me In The Eye by John Elder Robison and Pretending To Be Normal by Liane Holliday Willey. It takes me ages to read one though. I re-read in case I missed something..hehe

TV shows/Movies:
TV: Crime investigation real or not and Aussie soaps. Movies: Anything really as long as it keeps me interested.

Instrument:
I can't play anything...though I am the biggest fan of my sons' garage band..they're so clever

Do you like sports?
Yerrr...I used to play squash. It's an individual sport and you only have yourself to please. Then my club introduced teams and I ran screaming..hehe
I enjoy pool now (8-ball)..I only have myself to please...oh and I work out (Gym)

Family:
I have four children, three sons and a daughter, and I love them to bits! They are the reason I do almost everything I do.
Have been married for 17 years to a very understanding man who gives me all the space I need and I love him for it.
Mum, dad and four sisters and I kind of don't know how to feel about them...um...I'd hate for anything awful to happen to them...I pretty much feel the same about all other family members.

Clothing:
I do a lot of black..and people have noticed...hate denim jeans! sooo restricting...I don't do dresses and skirts...UGH!..(I'm female by the way )

How did you find this website?
My son's case manager suggested I check it out.

Welcome to WP!

Age: 26

Location: Canada

Hobbies and Interests: In no particular order -
Hobbies - cooking/baking, walking, very amateur photography, reading, fiction, newspapers and magazines, and the occassional non fiction, listening to old time radio shows on XM/Sirius sattelite radio, listening and watching to baseball and running my fantasy baseball teams (ALL of which are currently losing...) bird watching, sudoku, bicycling, skating when it's winter, camping in the summer, travelling if I could only find the money and time....gardening, wrttting and editing, and spending a little time online.

Interests - environmental issues, food security, Victoriana and other history, language, society and cultural phenomenae. phenomena? phenomenon?

Why are you here?

I had an account here two or three years ago which I never really developed. Now that I'm a bit stressed again, and looking at a summer "stuck" at home not really doing much by way of personal development, I remembered this site and wanted to come back, in hopes of finding semi-intelligent conversation and interaction with people of my own age. (I'm the only member of the youngest generation in a three generation household.)

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
I don't know if I have Asperger's or not. My sister suggested once that I did, (in not a very nice way) but ever since the possibility has been sort of preying on my mind. I do have trouble with social interactions, and when I self-test, I get sort of a borderline score. So I'm either very mildly Aspie, or I'm just antisocial. I am a Virgo. I also deal with mild depression.

(Asperger's/Autisim is present in my family - I have two cousins with DXs)

Favorite subjects: English, biology, history, geography.

Year/Grade: Have had some university, am not currently enrolled anywhere. (Hope to return to some form of structured study this fall or winter.)

Favorite music: Classic rock, rock ballads, blues, country, classical, reggae. I'm not really a music person, you put it on, I'll listen to it.

Books: Yes, I love books and if you let me, I'll leave a lot of posts here about them.

TV shows/Movies: I don't watch TV shows - just watch TV for the baseball or hockey. Watch a lot of movies - from the 1930s to the modern day. My favourite movie genres are film noir, action adventure, and westerns.

Instrument: I used to play the piano. I have a guitar, and intend to learn to play it some day.

Do you like sports?
Was a wicked defence player in soccer, until it wasn't cool just to play for fun anymore, had to scream and try and kill the other players...so I quit. Since then, no team sporting for me. I love listening to baseball, I will also watch hockey. I walk and bike when I can, skate a bit - on the few occassions I've been in mountainous country, I've adored rock clambering. But I live on the praries.

Family: Yes, I have one. Live with two grandparents and one father. Also have a kid sister.

Clothing: I've just recently discovered clothing that dosen't come from Zellers (the low end clothing/department store in Canada.) Have been updating and "girlifying" the wardrobe a bit - but don't understand fashion facts like pantless pants for office women.

How did you find this website? Can't remember. Google search, probably.

Job: I help out at home. Both my grandparents are on the elderly side - my grandmother has advanced cancer.

Plans for the future?
Get through the last days of grandma, go back to school, find work I want to do for the rest of my life, move out or atleast move into the "suite" in the family home, find man of dreams, make two or three happy babies, live happily ever after.

Any comments?
I come here looking for friendly conversation. You got some, share it with me. There's the PM button right there!
