Hello.

What to say about myself?
Well I've been aware of my condition for about five years or so, but I've never been willing to admit it. I've tried to ignore my limitations and I've pushed myself to function like a normal person, with varied success. I've never had anyone (excluding my parents) that was understanding enough to look past my unique position in the world. I've generally avoided talking about having AS. I discovered first hand how bigoted some people can be when you have a medical label that isn't well known. I know I'm a reasonably good person, but lately its become a bit much to deal with on my own. There's much more on my mind that I could talk about but, I think I should ease myself into this experience, instead of diving in.

But about me outside of my condition.

I'm 24, and a student majoring in applied science, in the fields of welding & diesel mechanics. I'm gifted with an eidetic memory, exceptional dexterity and reflexes. I'm quite shy, a realist, and very complex as a person. I have a hard time trusting people; but with my friends I'm loyal, candid and selfless.

I've yet to browse the archives here, but I think its safe to assume that this could be a safe haven for me?

I'm looking forward to integrating with this growing community, and with some luck find a friend or two.

-Wülfe
