Hey there, I'm a 33-year-old nerd who loves making music (modular, anyone?), creating digital art, programming, playing with circuits and the like (it gets way nerdier than that but I don't really want to infodump on my first post!). I also have a fondness for all things paranormal, and I'm a sober alcoholic.

I was diagnosed with ASD in my late 20s (due to my wife's assumption at the time) and I'm still trying to figure it all out. I figured I'd sign up here because I'd love to interact with other people on the spectrum in order to better understand things, make some friends along the way and nerd out on special interests.

So, yeah. Thanks for having me and I hope to stick around for a long while.

Welcome!

Would love to hear some of your music some time, if you feel like sharing.

Welcome to WP!

And I am curious about "modular music". I had not previously heard of it and had to look it up.

Is there any chance you can post a link to something on Youtube that you would consider to be a good example of modular music that you like? (I'm very partial to ambient/space/trance music, myself. Especially Steve Roach's works.)

I agree programming is fun! But I started doing it in the old days...before the Internet and PCs got into everything. I started programming as a junior in High School, in the 1970/1971 school year.
