Asperger's and Autism Are Gifts!

No, that's not me, unfortunately. I can't play the violin, although it's one of my favourite instruments. The song is Hitori Omou [One's Thoughts or Reflection].
Here's my Fire Emblem Fates avatar modeled after me:


What sort of books do you like reading?

I'm a geek. Like a real one. I have lived on a computer since I got my first one when I was 14, I'm now 31.

I write software. I'm a software engineer. I'm also a hacker - yes a real one. I'm currently working my way through ROP and ROP gadgets to exploit buffer overflows. I've worked with Facebook, Ghost Mail and Soundcloud helping them secure their platform.

I am fluent in a number of programming languages. I spend most of my time with my head stuck in GDB or IDAPro working with x86 assembly language (Intel syntax only!).

My laptop runs Debian Jessie (yes I've used Arch and Gentoo). I use i3, but most of the time I work in a shell with screen because it feels more comfortable for me. I like simple things.

I can set up secure webservers (+ custom compiled nginx, very fast, very secure inc. browser headers on every response). I can develop everything from the HTML pages, to the backend and the database and database design (normalization, N-M, M-M with join tables etc). I use PHP, Phalcon, and Zephir. My scoring algorithms have to perform fast, so I compile them down into extensions. I am an awesome application architect who knows design patterns and OOP very well. I've got, and read, the book by the GoF, and Fowlers Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture.

There is honestly very little I can not do on a computer. People say I am amazingly gifted. I think I am, but people want me to use my skills for money, but money really doesn't interest me.

Urgh. I can't write now more. But thank you for letting me express this. People see me, and think I am this regular guy who's a bit of a "nerd". They dont talk to me. But inside, I am brimming with so much talent and skill.

If anyone other programmers want to work on any projects, or chat, you can add me on XMPP. Just PM me your addy.

You're most welcome! It's so good that you're using your skills in good ways! Money honestly doesn't interest me either.

Read the original post,

I have nothing positive to add so I won't add anything at all. However I feel if I can respect this threads rules, you can too darkphantomx1.

Good for you, dcj!

Indeed, I kinda thought I might have annoyed you with my comment in your other thread which lead to you making the no negatively rule but I figured thats paranoia. I don't have a problem with you Kuraudo777 to be clear or your topic, I guess I am just depressed and my view is a bit dark right now, I hope you understand.

Anyway, I don't know about gifts but I am rather knowledgeable in technology and I seem to be getting better. I have recently built a quadcopter which is fun but I am a horrible pilot and I gutted it to use is A/V Transmitter in another project. I need to fix it but its only three wires, 5v, ground and composite video.

But you know what, the fact that you are skilled with computers makes you unique! I'm probably one of the least technological people in the world and can't tell the difference between a windows 7 or a windows 8!

Hey DCJ,

You built a helicopter that you could pilot? That's amazing!

Yup,

Here she is, its an unlisted video but the only reason its unlisted is it has my horrible voice in it (very briefly). It has a camera on it and can fly a good 100 ft if not more away, flying from the camera prospective is difficult but its very cool.



Here is my friend flying his to give you a prospective on what this baby can do, I followed his instructions loosely so I still take credit for most of the construction, his is a little different.

God Effin Dammit!

I can't build a birdhouse!

C'mon buddy.....if you have these sorts of abilities, then you are gifted in that respect. And don't tell me you're not--for then I'll accuse you of false modesty.

Ever read about Sikorsky? There's a museum devoted to the guy not far from New Haven, Connecticut.

I will tell you all what i'm really good at.

Losing.

A person that's so good at feeling sorry for himself is probably a good actor.

I worked for Microsoft and I've made the same mistake. Jayjayuk has good reasons for living in shell all the time. Unless you're a fastidious designer type or need to concern yourself with IT security, there aren't a whole lot of new concepts in the code base of Windows.

I too am a hacker & proud of it. Everyone thinks it's a black-tie profession but it's really just a state of mind.

I can read absurdly large amounts of text quickly.

I can cook a lot of different things. I get around my social problems by inviting people to my house and stuffing them with food and wine. Conversations are never boring

I'll take some of your food. I don't drink wine, though. Stuff me with diet Coke, instead.

...It looks like what I thought I put up here either didn't or was taken down .
