Hey guys, just joined up. *waves to everybody*

Well lets see, introductions... my name is Raphael and i'm from NC (thats where i'm at for now)
Anyways I was diagnosed as having high functioning autism at age 13, before that i was thought to have ADHD and then i was given the diagnosis of PDD. I do however believe (as well as my mom, and my job coaches) that AS. Specific reasons why i say this: multi-tasking... yeah not very good at it; time management... not so good (late for meeting with friends and sometimes work); I do get focused on specific topics of interest that send me ranting (which can be heard across whole buildings at times) or work on them without stopping often taking up the whole day with them; i can sorta (when i write meself a task list) keep my room clean and bathed properly... oh and i have limited friends and no SO (or none that lasted for more then 2 months and even then you really couldn't call it any sort of a romantic relationship)

Well thats pretty much describes at best the identifying factors of my specific form of AS.

I'm from the piedmont triad area at the moment. May move closer to the triangle, but it depends on internships and the job market.
