Hello there.

I came here because my friend Sylvastor told me about this forum.

The reason I registrated here is to find out more about autism and the way those affected cope with their existence in everyday life. I came across some aspergians already, all of which I made friends with pretty fast, perhaps due to my tolerant nature.

About myself, I am from Germany and perhaps a minority inside a minority - it seems like I am mostly NT with a little bit of Aspergers added to the mix.
This made me a very quiet person, and especially in my early years I had a hard time in school because of that. (not saying enough made my mark go worse)
Also, I've been subject to slight bullying, but I had made some friends to protect and support me.
However, I think I also gained something from that bit of Aspergers, which should be my visualizing mind and logical thinking.

My real Aspie side tends to show only rarely, but when it does, it is usually something like me sounding angry or tyrannical when I wanted to sound friendly. Which results in arguments almost instantly. :roll:

So, what else is there to say? :scratch:
I can't think of more that would be of interest for you, but if you have questions, just ask. ;)

Yours
Baryonyx

Hi there and welcome to WP.

I have some German friends myself who I talk to sometimes that are not part of this forum though. Good people, I like Germany, hope to go there someday.

Welcome aboard! :D

I somehow like the word aspergian, gives me an urge to laugh when I speak it out loud. :lol:

Welcome, Baryonyx... I can relate to the saying of unintended things that wind up creating arguments... I have a huge barrier in communication many times... Mostly when I am trying to joke around or speak seriously... For me, things go a lot smoother to relax, take a deep breath and allow myself to enter a silent submission of peace... What helps you?

That is much depending on the situation and the kind of stress:

Slight anger: Play first person shooters
Great anger: beat up my bedding or work out till it hurts

Argument I cannot win or am fed up with and resign: Go to a place I am on my own.

More input than I can process: sit down, relax, close my eyes and think it all through till I am finished processing it

For everything else, distraction does the job. :wink:
