Hello from Dallas, Texas. I've been looking for ways to socialize with people and not be so reclusive. I can say easily, my greatest need as well as greatest fear is to meet people, but I'm certain most, if not all, of y'all can relate.
I like words, art, music and to draw and find out about stuff through this wonderful Information highway. I used to play games a lot, but I find them a guilty pleasure so I uninstalled some. I still might play them in my dreams, but I am relieved to find I'm not actually playing them when I wake up, I hate incentives and MMO grinding. I feel as though playing games is a waste of time, unless it's multiplayer or I can create a lot of things in them. (like Spore).
I want to read more, but used to be real savvy in math. In fact, I am so confused about identity (as to describe myself, I mean I know what I do, but having and image and all) I still can't place what I want to do in life. I don't feel like a strong individual: I don't drive, and stay home much of the time. Visits with the friends are infrequent, and I couldn't think of a more fitting username than describe most of my life: behind a screen of fantasy. Ok, before you may think of any wrong: my parents are perfectly wonderful and loving, in fact my Dad takes strong interest in being an activist for autism, meeting with congressmen/women or attorneys, talking on message groups. I can aver there's no abuse in my household, and I may be the more fortunate.
Good thing is I am about to start my freshmen year at a four year college and that I am in a special program which supports ASD people. It's a rarity, and I am glad to be a part of it. Wish me luck.
