Hello there!

Hey, I'm Megan and I've recently been diagnosed with aspergers.

I really only found out because my amazing boyfriend also has it. He has a light case and I have a rather heavy case.

I'm pretty strange, but I'm happy with who I am.

..Ahh, this is really awkward... x_x;

But, anyways, I usually don't talk to people but if you talk, I'll talk.

Hi Megan

Hi. =]

Oh yeah welcome to WP. Hope you find it fun on here.

Welcome to WrongPlanet!

I think it's important to celebrate who you are. Then if others don't....so what. But from what I see, the more we accept ourselves the more we find a circle of friends who will accept who we are.

Nice to meet you, Megan.

Welcome aboard, Megan!

Welcome Megan,

It does help to speak to strangers, and we are great strangers.

Welcome to the playground.

Hi Megan, welcome to WP!

I see that by your screen name that you must be vegan. I am too!

Yep...introductions can be akward, but they don't have to be long and detailed...just saying hello is ok.

I hope you enjoy posting here.

Welcome to WP!

Hello Megan and welcome to WP!

Hi, Megan!

May all your prices be right, and may all your Christmases be white!

I hope you enjoy it here!

Welcome

Well, I suppose I really should've been a BIT more descriptive about myself.

Well, first off I'm a complete photoshop junkie. I work in it all the time. I think really the only reason I do is to project my own, abstract emotions onto something a bit more physical... as physical as a computer image is... THATS NOT REALLY PHYSICAL NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT.

And, yes, I use caps lock a lot. A little too much, but I use it more for sarcasm, emphasis, and other stuff... it just makes it a lot more obvious and easier for me to read.

Umm... what else? Oh yes, I aspire to direct music videos some day. Cause all the ones out there today are just plain boring, uncreative, and... well, they all just show the band lip-syncing to their own songs. Honestly, I want to see the message their trying to put through the music. The visuals should work and emphasize the audio, not battle against it. Though, many people have said my ideas of what a music video are crazy and a little too out there. They've all told me that I'm over thinking this. x_x;

I think they're just emotionally shallow as far as musical expression goes.

Hmm, another interesting things is that I can create exact copies of pictures IN PENCIL. Give me a photo and 5 hours, and I'll make a copy of it. I don't know... its something I've always been able to do.

Also, yes, I'm vegan. I'm somewhat of a health freak and my parents don't understand why I'd want to do something like that. Then again, they all think I'm just weird, too hyper, and a little too anti-social and someone who just basically needs to "get some sun".

...whatever that means...

Though, as far as aspergers though, my diagnosis was really... un-traditional? I don't know. My psychiatrist basically asked me questions and kept it confidential from my parents. According to her, I definately have it... but the thing that bothers me is that I show symptoms of borderline-autistics when compared to my boyfriend, Nathan, who has a mild case of aspergers.

I mean, I flap my arms/hands when happy, toe-walk like crazy, do weird complex-partial body movements without realizing it, make weird noises, and for the most part, I can be extremely nonverbal, especially when sad or angry. From what I know, I had slightly delayed speech and didn't start using any significant sentences until the age of 5, even then, I was quiet... except I learned to recite my address, name, and birth date... but other than that, I didn't talk, or seemed unable to make any real conversation... especially with peers.

I also had a dinosaur obsession... not like everyone else... I actually memorized all known species of dinosaurs and various facts about them. My parents never noticed my odd obsession, though. They just kinda excepted that I was a very odd and talented young lady.

Though, despite my social deficits, I had a very high IQ and still do, up till this day. Mine is 134, and I'm only 15.

sure, I've adjusted to the point where I can put a mask on and act like everyone else, but I owe that to being female, and acting classes that I took as a grade-schooler, for acting puts you through a lot of unusual social situations.

Well, it's good to have you here anyway, and merry Christmas!
