Hi everyone, I'm 23, male. Lately I've been researching Aspergers and stumbled accross this website on wiki. I was diagnosed when I was in 2nd grade and at the moment I'm just wishing I never had aspergers, sadly enough. I'm not doing poorly or anything, but I do have questions and would really like to improve being normal to my best abilities..

(My odd obsession/routine is going to taco bell almost every day, and american history and history in general is probably my main topic of interest, even other countries and their history too.)

Hope you have fun, ask questions and get to know the folks on here!

Here's a suggestion I learned recently that was a revelation to me: When you enter an elevator it is considered seriously weird not to turn and face the doors when you get in. Try asking a non-aspy if they think it is weird not to do this and watch their face for much amusement value.

LOL I would always face the door because I would be expecting to exit the elevator in a few minutes.

Thanks for the welcome, I've already pretty much grown out of Aspergers but I just need to work on a few of the common things (mostly clumsyness). And is any other Aspergers here ever been called 'ditsy'? Like the stereotype for a blonde girl? Just wondering lol.
