I was reading up on Asperger Syndrome in Wikipedia and it mentioned Wrong Planet, so now I'm here. I'm an old married man and I like to develop relationship online because in real life I have challenges with social interaction. It seems like I'm always saying the wrong thing and the wrong time and making people uncomfortable. I took the Aspie quiz and come up with a neurodiverse score of 106 our of 200 and a neurotypical score of 115 out of 200, so I seem to have both neurodiver and neurotypical traits.
I've been spending a lot of time lately with a passion for NLP (neuro linguistic programming) and neuro plasticity. I believe I can reprogram my emotional brain to be more functional. I'm making progress, but it slow going. Mainly because nobody I talk to IRL seems to have a clue as to what I'm talking about. My counselor can understand me and it helps, but I can't keep going to counseling forever. I'm looking for a support system, a group of like minded people. Maybe they are here. That's why I'm here. We'll see what happens.
