You sound like a normal young man that started at the age most children your age start at. You compose your sentences very intelligently. So I'm wondering, are you autistic or have Aspergers?


You can click on his name and see what he's set for his diagnostic status. His status is "Have Asperger's - Diagnosed."

Also, how well you write is not a reflection of how autistic you are.


Thanks for the information. I should of checked before I commented, so I removed it. Yes, you are right. Many of those with Aspergers and Autism are even more intelligent and talented than many people that don't. I was gifted with art and that is the only thing I have going for me. I went professional when I started selling my artwork. I will have to post some in a different Topic.

I have a license and drive as little as possible for the main reason that I can't always interpret the intentions of another person, so I'm always thinking of the possibility of them blowing a stop sign or red light. I go to work, the store and back to my house - that's it.

i didn't get my lisence till I was in my mid-20s and I can only drive an automatic car (not liscensed to drive one with manual gears!). i have a 2002 white toyota scion/bb 1.5 with about 50k miles on the clock.


Yeah I waited until 22 or something like that. I knew I'd just kill myself or someone else as a teenager. I even hated when my Dad would just have me move the car up or down the driveway. I was too anxious but I was mature enough to not let anyone make me drive until I was ready. I had a few mishaps early on and it took a while to learn how to judge speed and distances at intersections but I think I've got it now and I'm an okay driver.
