Hey, fellow Aspies! Even by your standards, I am an oddball.

Good evening, WrongPlanet! :D

My name is David Kirchoff, and I am thrilled to finally be registering on these forums after years of on-and-off, infrequent visits to them for the sake of understanding the general perception Aspies have about matters of life. I was diagnosed with Asperger's by my then-child neuropsychologist at the age of eight, and throughout my life, I have let my Autistic label define me as a person, largely because I have always been a socially awkward person and needed some sort of explanation to understand why this was so.

Even for an Aspie, my working memory is quite abysmal, so I never have been good at team sports, musical instrument playing, or small talk. I also have no understanding of Pop Culture whatsoever. Absolutely none. As a result of these difficulties, I have never had very many friends, but I don't find myself much in need of them these days either. I don't suffer much from this highly introverted state of being. I also began suffering from a very mysterious, complex, and insidious neuro-personality disorder that I now dub "Kirchoff Syndrome" at the age of sixteen and a half, and my life has never really been as good since. This thing completely got rid of my ability to feel happiness and has eaten away at much, if not most of my compassion and empathy.
:cry: 8O :? I hope that some genius mind can come up with a solution in my lifetime.

Like many of you here, I do have a decent long-term memory, which has allowed me to be well-developed intellectually. My favorite subjects of thought and discussion include neuro-psychology and politics.

I have been hanging around at the chatroom here for a little while now, and being there has reminded me of one certain truth - most Aspies are really nice and considerate people!

Hoping to possibly make more acquaintances here in the coming days and weeks. :)

Hi, David Kirchoff! I have a similar problem. Starting from when I was 17 years old, people started hating me all because I act silly and immature. I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at age 3 and a half. I also feel very different from other people on the Autism Spectrum.
