I am gamer in wow and autistic
my science teacher told me and my mom computers were good for me without knowing that i had autism but at the same moment she had a son with autism.so it might be that she had found it i had the same ??
since 1989 after school i started high school with the bullying episodes added to them.The bullying episodes were in a university , what an outrage...
so i flunked my computerclasses there because of the bullying so social i wasnt that because of those episodes. I followed some computerlessons in the evening and i didnt fail them (between 52% and 71 % percent vs a meager 38% in unif)
after i followed a beta to put me over the social problems (etherlords) under the name drdoom. I won a place umong 50 postees for the manual based on a group of 5000.Made my mom proud.
I also tried several mmorpg to get over the social aspect.Doac was my real first one and made friends. Lotro was nice but i did leave it because it was to difficult. Now i am at world of warcraft because of the love of warcraft I II III
and have also the special hint books and a atlas.
In my daoc i was guilded and i grouped a lot but i soloed also..
In wow i am non guilded (i am on the euro server dragonblight - english)
and i dont group (because of the lots of 12-14 years old reminds me of bullying episodes prior to unif) (i had them in regular school alswell)
i went to a normal school , had a normal upbringing and it is only in 1995 my parents found out about aspergers
that is also why i am literated , mouthy and not a typical autist in special group or home ...
how do you cope with autism : do something about it
i also try to participate in as many forums as possible to talk about it because i can get very depressed at some moments. Sometimes i wished my head was empty and not filled with al sort of weird stuff (autistic stuff) and i was normal
i help my mom in house because she has become ill and she needs the attention (she cared for me for those 39-40 years now it is my turn). I do some of the shopping , i have a card gaming club where i socialize with people aka i get out (i am not in house all the time)
