Hi all, i'm a newbie both at the WP and as aspie.
Not that over the last 44 years I've felt somethings been odd, for sure, but well its been a mind jog.
And i want to, at the start, to admit that I've felt on the wrong planet for a long time and the connection made me approach this site first (I've envied Fords ability to flag down rides for 2 decades and my towel is ready)

I'm from Norway, so in advance plz don't be infuriated with spelling errors, erratic sentences, alone i (to be I) , c and s shifting around where they are not suposed to be etc.
Tbh i have almost the same problems with Norwegian (sigh) :lol: Oh! and I'm socially awkward so the slow pace of a forum suits my mental capacity (you will not find me on facebook its to noisy and alien)

So, I guess i should be short about it, but how to condense me into a few lines!? :idea: See the PS!

Cheers
Baard aka Gragzy

PS:
Almost everything in this world, that i'm aware of, is interesting in one way or another so I rarely get bored but i'm not compulsory about it i think.
But i hate every form of lies, so i'm non-theistic about almost everything, its hard enough realizing and living in reality as it is, adding to much faith and mystics into the mix only murks the mind and make brains leak and utter silly things

Thinking on the other hand is essential to me, there is nothing that cant be talked and thought about that is taboo, every issue never have one perspective or side, and states and issues of black or white almost never appear without some grey in between.

I guess this is more that enough for introduction, except this:
I in general like people, they are amazingly complex and rewarding to interact with.

My current thinking project: how to normalize issues around gender, especially the problem about equality where biology flat out cant be changed and in this context if our current model of equality is fair. I assume its not, bc it stil do not appear to take into account the burden of pregnancy etc. Its a big project and one of the things I wish and dream to have responsible brainstormings about.

Hello, Gragzy, and welcome to Wrong Planet! I think you communicated just fine in your introduction and that your post was very interesting.

You said you find people very "complex", do you enjoy "picking the brains of people", or so to speak? I find just observing other humans and how they interact really interesting. We have a lot of similarities in behaviour to other great apes.

Hi Hyru, not sure since I have a problem understanding the concept "picking the brain". My complex humans: as a living thinking whole, from biology to neurology to physiology to evolution on and on, humans when its constituents are factored in is almost an infinite complex system. I do agree that observing humans interacting is interesting, but the same goes for anything living. And yes we have a lot in common with apes, but we have common traits with everything living. Even plants and crustaceans .... in deep time. I think i'm interested and fascinated by too much stuff lol

Cheers m8

Being Swedish, I can totally identify with you saying that you will make mistakes, but trust me, you're fine.
BTW It's too, not to ;)
I can identify with most if not all that you said.
Anyways, welcome. I'm pretty new here myself.

I see I've found another like-minded person who has an entity motif going on!

Welcome to WP and Asperger's.
It's a relief to know that we have a reason for the challenges in our lives.
I won't be infuriated with spelling errors, erratic sentences, English is my only language.

I find real-time communication, especially verbal, too immediate.

You're welcome here regardless of how you think.

Your English is fine and you seem intelligent.
I remember thinking as a child that I didn't like people and felt odd for it like I always brought out the worst. I remember about 10yrs old or so asking my mother and she said she didn't know, I just seemed to get people's backs up, meaning I am annoying
