Found this site a few days ago and thought I should join! I really like forums. A little about me...

-I like aquariums, digital art, 3D art, owl city, sims & other games.
-I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome a little over two weeks ago. It has explained a lot. I always had issues with friendships. Everyone said it's okay, I was doing fine academically, I was just shy and need to try harder. I grew up very anxious and quiet. I tried participate, but it just never worked. I messed up too many times.
-I also, like many aspies, love my routines. As I researched more into AS I realised that neurotypical people dislike them, a very strange realisation. I also found out that I am, in fact, a very rigid thinker. (There's a lot of stuff that I uncovered.)
-I am sensitive to sound, I get very exhausted from it. I always liked certain textures, I'm a huge visual stimmer - as a kid I watched washing machines, and I've had a life long obsession of anything with water inside.
-I used art as a means of compensating for not having friends. And art has become a talent as a result. My other hobbies included animals - and I would draw them repetitively.

So yea, those are some of my traits. Nice to meet you all! :D

Welcome littlefish. You might try sleeping on a heated waterbed. It is a nice way to sleep. I have been doing it for over 40 years now. It was my wife's idea.

Hello and welcome, littlefish!
I've kept many aquaria with sororities of female beta fish, and one was named Littlefoot!
I look forward to meeting you more!
