EVERYTHING relating to AS and left brainedness is BS.

I can relate, though for me it's a little different, I know that people don't like me, and that's why I'm an outcast everywhere, but there's nothing I can do about that, people will either like me or they won't.
Why people don't like me isn't really a concern of mine, it's not my problem it's theirs, and I've lived most of my life being ridiculed and left out so I'm used to being alone in my room with no one to talk to. I may not always like my situation, but ultimately there's nothing I can do about it.

I feel like I don't fit in on this site or with other aspies.

I don't have this crazy memory, i'm terrible with facts. I"m terrible at math, gammer and punctuation, science and english.

I'm more creative. I'm good with programming synths and making techno. creative writing that doesn't follow the rules of english. I'm good at creating orginal art. I have a hard time imagining but I can still do art. I'm much better with creating with out a criteria than with one. Every one has always told me what ever I do its always got like this distinct style that is my own.

I have this ability to just think of weird sayings. like let me think of one right now "super planet gue gue puffs". first thing that popped into my head.

I'm weird I'm awkward, I have a very strange way of expressing myself. I"m so obsessive that I have over 40,000 photos of different stlyes of art I saved off Google. but I don't know any of the history or meanings behind them.

I feel like most aspies are left brain and i'm right brained.

I'm also bi polar with voices so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this. I don't hear the voices unless I come off my medicine.

I'm clearly eccentric I have a hard time with bathing often. The feeling of the water on me bothers me.

I want to meet aspies who are like me!

I feel like a misfit of the misfits!


I am appallingly bad at maths. I am also very creative. We are all unique with our own mix of traits.

Lonerchild9 how are you?

Have you heard of Caiseal Mor?

How about Donna Williams?

Below is some stuff on Caiseal. He is a very right
brained man on the specrum.

Donna Williams is an inspiration too, i was
really blessed to have had her endorse my
book


There are loads of people in the
spectrum that have such gifts like
of which Caiseal & Donna embody.

Go well

Math is supposed to be "right-brained" (spatial). Of course that whole right/left thing is kind of pseudoscience anyway.

You sound pretty normal to me. We all have different special interests, some of them very unusual indeed. Creative and geeky aren't mutually exclusive, anyhow.
