Decided to join this community that I learned of from a friend on the internet.

Been diagnosed with autism around kindergarden and considered higher functioning on the autistic spectrum. People don't really notice it unless they know what to look for and I have a speech impediment that makes make sound like a English man (or so I'm told) and socially shy and considered a loner at school. Have a hard time carrying on a conversation or starting one for that matter as such I'm not exactly a socialite and still alone to this day.

I have some nerdy interests that ranges from Science fiction, to studying the mind though psychology. Along with interest in some astrophysics; purely conceptual of course given my rather average mathmatical skills. Also a avid reader along with a great if selective memory. So hello fellow neuro atypicals.
