Hi there!

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, I'm Vel and I'm new to the forums.

I was diagnosed with PDD in kindergarten (because my doctor at the time was hesitant to diagnose me with specifically asperger's or autism when I was that young) and then with asperger's in grade 7. In addition, I was born missing my right arm (but I am the fastest typist I know...my skills are a mystery ).

I like writing, drawing, and coding and my longest-running special interest is computer viruses and old computers. I'm 26 and still a student (working on my third degree) because I love going to school but I graduate in a few months and that'll probably be the last of it, alas, so I hope I can find a job I won't hate too much (I got a few offers but they all want me to start on help desk, yikes). Will probably start off with freelance coding/website building stuff.

Nice to meet you all!

Welcome to WP, Velrane.

Do you use a smaller, custom keyboard or are you just crazy fast on a full size?

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Crazy fast on full size. It's mostly muscle memory (shows how much time I spend on the computer, haha). There is a small keyboard for one armed people called FrogPad but it's different enough that I'd pretty much have to re-learn typing.

Hey Vel welcome.
