Now, I have no idea how to introduce myself. Is it OK if I just do it in logorrhea form? Well, here we go:

I'm 28, Irish/German/Cherokee, my parents looked just like Sonny and Cher. My dad is a dedicated nudist, and possibly an aspie. I inherited my artistic ability from him, along with my ugly feet. I don't know him too well, because the two of them seperated when I was just a wee one.

I went to a Buddhist school, and learned chanting, and Aikido, and all that fun stuff, but I got depressed when I was eight years old, and it didn't go away until I decided to convert to Tridentine Catholicism at age fifteen. That cured it! Well, I still have a melancholic temperament, but I have never gone back to that dark place again. I've heard they say aspies lack a sense of humor, but I've got one for sure, and it's humongous! Sorrow and laughter together, you know.

I love rain, and the stars, and animals - pretty much all of nature. That goes with being raised by hippies, I guess. I am really bad at math, unlike so many aspies, but I am a good artist, mostly in sculpture. Maybe girl aspies are more right-brained or something? I don't know, I've only just been diagnosed, and I haven't had the chance to talk with any other aspies yet. So, somebody talk to me! I may be just a dirty hippie, but even dirty hippies need friends, LOL.

Hi and welcome to join in and talk with us. I havent been here for so long myself but I really like this place and it appears friendly to me and here you can both get and give support. Im also bad on maths and call myself an artist. I have made too few sculptures though. I wish I could do more but I have to find the right environment for it first as I like to be inspired to it rather than trying to inspire myself with it. Your avatar is beatiful. Its a painting right? If so its EXTREMELY proffessional made, impressive!
Good Luck with discovering the aspergerworld and I hope it will give you something to stay on this community!

Hey, you're right, MissConstrue! I got it from reading Introduction to the Devout Life, by St. Francis De Sales. You can tell by his writing that he was a sweet, lovable person. Much like yourself, I'm sure!

Dedhead66: with a name like "dedhead" you must have some hippie leanings, eh? It's a pleasure to meet you, my groovy friend.
