Shalom

Hi out there!

The expectation seems to be to introduce myself, so that's what I'm doing here. I don't like these introductory posts, but they serve a useful purpose, so...

I'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. I sing, I stage manage, and I try and fail at acting. I write compulsively, and have been published. I like brains and current events.

I like people, but there is a gap between the rest of the world and me, which I don't like so much.

I have Asperger's, and I insist on that apostrophe, and Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia. Life is crazy.

I work in the special-ed department at the local middle school, after working in the same sort of room at my school for a year, and I love it. It has convinced me that IQ does not exist. I am working right now primarily with low-functioning autistic boys, which is interesting. We swap stims. I wonder, watching them, if Asperger's really is a form of Autism--we're so alike, yet so different.

So that's my philosophical conundrum.

I hope you guys like me. I want everyone to like me, although I'm working on that.

Edited because a comma is not an apostrophe.

Shalom! (I dont know what that mean, hello in Israel???)

Welcome to join in with us!
Dont worry about it beeing an expectation of introducing yourself. All of us comes here as we are and all is accepted.
You share as much that is natural to you.

Im glad you are here and hope you will stay!

Shalom is like Aloha. It has multiple meanings. Shalom is Hebrew for hello, goodbye and peace. שָׁלוֹם

I'm glad you are here.
