Interests:
Economics (Austrian), Geopolitics, Libertarian Minarchism/Anarchocapitalism, investing, history, literature, physics.
Why are you here? I am certain that I have Asperger's, because when I "discovered" it a few weeks ago, it's all I could read and talk about because it made my entire life make sense!
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I'm looking for a doc who has some experience with adults on the spectrum.
Favorite subjects: English, Business, History, Foreign Language
Year/Grade: Sophomore (College)
Favorite music: Too much to list!
Books: The Bible, The Lord of the Rings (Tolkien), The Art of War (Sun Tzu), The Complete Works of Tacitus (Gaius Cornelius Tacitus), Norstrilia (Cordwainer Smith), A Brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking), Catcher in the Rye (Salinger), Crime and Punishment (Dostoyevsky)... If it's historical, scientific, philosophical, science fiction, or true literature, I'll read it.
TV shows/Movies: I don't watch much TV, but I like House, 24, Prisonbreak, Simpsons, and South Park. As for movies, I like science fiction/fantasy, horror, comedy, and black-and-white films.
Instrument: I used to play the violin, and I'm considering taking it back up (I have one, it's just hardly used).
Do you like sports? If so, which one? I live in Alabama, where Football is an organized religion. I watch a couple of games a year, but I'm not a fanatic and I don't play. I lift weights, but not competitively. I also enjoy marksmanship, but I'm not good enough to compete.
Family: Best parents ever, an older sister (27), two younger brothers (19 and 15). My middle brother has traits on the spectrum more pronounced than mine, but I haven't talked to him about it yet.
Clothing: Jeans and t-shirts, but I can be fashionable when I want to be. I like the film-noir look, and 60s men's as well.

Job: My sister and I co-own and operate an online and convention-based retail concern specializing in printed t-shirts, beanies/hats, and accessories in the geek/anime/sci-fi fashion niche.
Plans for the future? Long term relationship/marriage, finish all these books I'm trying to write, get an MBA, and live life to the fullest!
Any comments? Well, since finding out about AS about a month ago, I've really found a number of websites and books helpful. My ex-girlfriend is an aspie (and proud!), and when I talked to her about my "discovery" she had a duh-moment, and told me I had neon signs flashing aspie all around me, but she thought I was just a peculiar NT. I decided that as I go about getting diagnosed professionally, and seek to interact better with NTs, I should get to know other people on the spectrum as well, which is why I'm here! I'm from Alabama but you wouldn't know it from talking to me ^_--. If you're from the Alabama/Tennessee area, get in touch and we should meet up somewhere! I travel across the U.S. quite a bit on business, too, so maybe my schedule will put me somewhere where lunch might be in order. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to getting to know you!
