Hello everyone. Some of you may have seen me in the WrongPlanet IRC channel a few times the past few days.

I am fifty years old but didn't know about Asperger's until ten years ago. Until then, I lived with it all my life and had no clue why I experience life so differently than everyone else around me. When I was a child Asperger's was not recognized in the USA, so I was misdiagnosed and misunderstood. I self-diagnosed in the 1990s after a counselor told me about it. It was like light bulbs going off over my head to go down the list of symptoms and see so many that applied to me. Since then I have been officially diagnosed three times, and this past year I was finally set up with the developmental disabilities group of the local public health service. They are coordinating resources for me so perhaps some of the pain and hassle of my first fifty years will be eased if not erased.

When quite small I took to riding a bicycle around in tight circles for hours on the patio of my family's home. As a teenager I frequently went on forty or fifty mile day trips on a ten-speed bicycle, but without a guitar. After I turned 18, I started playing guitar, but not on a bicycle. I played guitar twelve or more hours a day most days my first few years. Sometime in my early twenties I discovered I could do both activities at once, and The Bicycling Guitarist was born.

My web site is The Bicycling Guitarist.
My YouTube channel is BicyclingGuitarist.
Peace, out.

My little Graphic art/creative Company is "The Biking Viking" I think Viking is more easy that playing guitar on the Bike, lol
