Your going-away reading: A very short story called Jonathan Livingston Seagull. If you enjoy it, I'd also recommend Harrison Bergeron. I think you will appreciate them.

My point being that I think you are still "evolving" if you will. That you've learned certain meanings and truths and that you may find that you have a strong desire to share this with others. This desire may bring you back. If you come back, I don't want you to feel guilty or worried just because you said an official good-bye. You can come back anytime. There are others like you who may benefit from your words.

It's too bad that you're leaving... you're one of my favorite posters on here. I remember you helped me out a lot when I was very angry at my math teacher and posted in The Haven. I really appreciate how you have such a positive outlook on autism. Thank you for being here on WP. You will be greatly missed.

I don't think about going to this forum in my spare time, but when I log on to my computer I always find myself going here. This forum makes me happy because so many people here can relate to my problems. It's a place on the Internet where I feel safe and secure. Therefore, it's difficult for me not to come back, because whenever something bad happens, I come back here and seek consolation. Maybe if I find someone who can help me deal with difficult situations and give me some coping strategies, I will not visit this forum so frequently. But until then...

Yours is an uplifting presence here and so I will miss you, but I understand perfectly well why you feel you must take your life back and get smoking with your passions. Get that novel finished Glider. But come back and see us as often as you can.

I totally understand, and I'll miss your posts. Feel free to PM me.

I need to cut way back, too. My short time here has been transformational, but now I have a Neuro club to start, and rugby practices are beginning.

You will be missed, as you no doubt can tell from the many posts to this thread.

Good luck with the novel, and everything else you do, Glider.

Glider, I know how you feel and can relate.

Myself, I feel like I am nearing a tipping point. Like you, my intense interests have a tendency to cycle, though not necessarily seasonally. They cycle around goals that I set for myself within the interest. There is no doubt that my current intense interest is AS, which is primarily centered around WrongPlanet. So I don't mind that it takes away from my other interests; that's why they call them intense interests.

When I came here, I came to do research. My goal was to make observations about myself and come to some conclusions. I feel very strongly that I am nearing that goal. My time becomes "vulnerable" to another interest coming in once I've reached a goal. So that means that one of my other interests will probably swoop in and take up all of my time. I don't know exactly when that will happen, but it will.

Anyways, from one of the few people here who knows the origin of the name "glider," I wish you the best!

Glider,

I will miss your words of wisdom, interesting stories and positive attitude. You are a natural leader. Good luck in all your endenvors. You will not be forgotten.

Then it’s time to move up a notch, how about Aspie tweets?
Seriously, good luck on your book.

I understand you glider because I'm in the same predicament. Somehow I need to go back to writing, but the computer distracts me so much. I think I might take a break from Wrong Planet--about 2-3 months should do it.

Well, time's starting now.
