<witty greeting>

I never knew much about Asperger's. I did know that it was all but impossible for me to relate to others, and that inability culminated in most of my acquaintances (I don't use the term "friend" lightly) stabbing me in the back last week, my roommates leaving without giving me enough notice, et cetera... Troubled and dismayed, I thought it might be worth it to at least google Asperger's syndromes - and lo and behold, here I am! :)

A bit about me: I'm originally from Russia (and was born when the Soviet Union was still around) and now I live in the mountains of northern Nevada (more specifically, Reno). I'm a hardcore entrepreneur and money is the closest thing I have to a passion (mmm, money 8) ). I know how to make it, how to manage it and how to invest it (my annual ROI is 71%). Needless to say, I also know a thing or two about personal finance. I do a little bit of everything: I'm a blogger, a card-counter, an entrepreneur, an interpreter, a day-trader, a hacker and a political scientist. However, despite all that, I still find myself bored most of the time. :(

I found this community through the intjforum. Looks like there are quite a few threads to go through and quite a lot of data to digest. That should keep me busy for a week or two. :lol: As a matter of fact, this seems like a worthy cause for an all-nighter, so excuse me while I make some tea and run to the nearest gas station for some munchies. :wink:

Yep, welcome. Know how it feels to have everyone turn on you all of a sudden. Happened to me last year. Except for the wondrous partner, I lost everyone I 'engaged' with, one shredding after another.

Near as I can tell, tolerance in this society is a myth. {grouchy moment}

Anyway, have fun frolicking o'er the boards here...
:D

Hi NightRunner, welcome to WrongPlanet! Reno, that's interesting. My boyfriend just recently left Reno to go into the NAVY (he's an undiagnosed ASer, but don't tell the government that), and I can relate to not having many people to talk to since he's gone in. Just some NT friends who mostly end up letting me talk for 5 minutes and then going onto their stuff for 2 hours of non-stop talking. :roll:

Anyway, you'll be hearing more from me later.

~Katie
