Hiya!

My name's David, I'm 20 yrs-old and I've been 'diagnosed' with aspergers since I was about...11-ish. Especially when I was young, I really didn't like being branded as 'an apsergers child/person', but now I'm not quite as sensitive to that as before. And it is easier to cope with it at college compared to at high school; as at collage, people know and treat me as the person who I am instead of [generic disabled person]. That's partially because I have slowly learned to be more 'normal' yet accepting that I'm an aspie instead of cringing whenever someone mentions it, and partially because the staff at my collage are much more understanding, which is much better than the high school staff who talked down to me in an agonisingly patronising fashion.

My interests: Writing, strategy games, techno music, anime (mostly and almost exclusively Ghost in the Shell), drawing and the game Soldat.

Welcome to WP!

Welcome

Nice to meet you, David.

I'm into Gundam, Hellsing, and One Piece in Anime.

Hi David,

welcome to WP.

What kind of things do you write? I like writing too...but mainly poetry as I can never stick to one idea when writing stories haha.

Yea high school is probably the worst place for any person on the spectrum [especially if it's one of those "one size fits all' kind of public school]. It's good that the staff at your collage are understanding of your AS.

Hey David, what kind of things do you write?

Anyway, welcome and I hope to see more posts from you.

I haven’t been writing (as a hobby) for long. I decided to take it up a few months ago as I enjoy using words creatively and some of my collage tutors have commented on the quality of my essays, so I started doing some fanfiction so that I can do something creative along with my drawing. I chose to do Warhammer 40K fan-fiction as it lets you create your own characters and storylines while having plenty of 40K background to work from, plus I'm collecting 40K (Tau and Orks). I did start collecting about 3 years go, but I quit due the the ridiculous cost; but a few months ago I started collecting again as I can now afford to be ripped-off.

And as for my high school, they did have a room and staff for people with learning disabilities, but that was a very basic room and some of the staff would patronise me, maybe because they also worked with a lot of people with low-functioning disorders such as Downs syndrome. But now at my collage the room is dedicated to people with autism and more specifically Aspersers, and the staff are a lot more understanding respectful. Plus the room has received a lot of money and support from the Principle and the local MP, giving the room and students there a lot more space and recourses to work and relax with.
