Hello everyone

Hi,
I am an aspie too, and was only diagnosed a year ago. Since, I have been looking it up on the net and only after 10 months ignoring it, because of the too many other activities. I have started googling after having seen the movie 'The Musical' on autism made by Kirby, on HBO yesterday. I am a Belgian Flemish artist living in Peru. I am high functional as they call it, and did my registration here today and also did the test for aspies. I got 155 on 200 and for NT 61 on 200...

Just in a few hours I realized there was such a thing as an alphabet soup and discoered what NT is. God, we do label ourselves and others, don't we?

As an artist (I sing, dance, paint, write) -I should be thankful to my aspie qualities -( that is those that are positive qualities, I suppose)-, but having read through different blogs online and having observed the kid in the movie I couldn't help the flow of tears, as I realized how much I had in common and how I wished I had been diagnosed 40 years ago, how much would I have not let down people and peole not have let down me.

Noises drive me crazy, in buses traveling in Peru where loud vdos are on for as long as a bus ride lasts (sometimes for 10 or 15 hrs), I have fights about it with people and yet I like good music, which has to be loud sometimes to enjoy it...I have many other things that drive other NTs nuts, but I'll tell this some other time.

Recently I got in volved in shamanism, and I do organise or participate in rituals with hallucinogenics, sacred plants here in the jungle like ayahuasca or san Pedro and pot. I noticed a big shift in my brain and emotional functions, I tend to go into a trance and communicate with the spirits, but when in trance with my partner (as an observer) I seem to be able (in trance) to touch her and be nice to her and not so aloof. (I am gay, but live with a woman, the same woman who worked with Aspies and who diagnosed me.)

Did any other aspie have experience with similar things? It make s me want to be on hallucinogenics more, because I am more charming a person and much nicer with people around me.

Thank you if you reply to me

Welcome Loborojo

yo.

Heee, een Vlaming. Welkom hier.

There is a dutch-language topic when you want to express yourself in the dutch language. But that is voluntary

I wish you a good time here and hope you read some good things here on WP.

Nice to meet you, Lobo Rojo.

Neuh, ben zelf geen Vlaming; maar een Fries. (de groet was als groet bedoeld, en niet als wederzijdse herkenning... excuses voor de verwarring) Er zijn hier overigens wel Vlamingen en enkele Walen die nog een woordje Nederlands spreken. Ik woon overigens niet meer in Friesland, maar in de provincie Utrecht.

Die chatroom ben ik zelf een keer kort op geweest. Het gebruikt IRC, dus je kunt dan IRC commando's gebruiken.
Met /nick kun je volgens mij je nick-name instellen.

Mijn nick heb ik een beetje samengesteld uit verschillende woorden, totdat ik een moeilijk uitspreekbaar iets kreeg dat wel aardig klonk. Op zich wel aardig, omdat sommige mensen ook moeite hebben met mijn echte naam.

Welcome to WP!

Stel je wilt van je nick Loborojo maken. Dan druk je op de knop [status] onderin het scherm. Dan zie je allemaal 'technische dingetjes' Je typt in de onderste regel het volgende commando:
/nick Loborojo
Je drukt op enter en in de bovenste regel komt status Loborojo [ ] te staan. Dan kun je op de knop [#wrongplanet] drukken en kom je in het chat-kanaal met je nieuwe nick.
Je nick staat nu ook aan de rechter kant.

Welcome to WP
There is a lot of labeling on here, but it's probably just because of a common desire to have the world organized.

tnx for the warm welcome!! ALL OF YOU
