Hi! I'm a 40+ Scandinavian dude who wants to make online and maybe more autistic friends. I have English as a second language. I live in an apartment in the heart of my hometown. I work at a communal media place for aspies. My interests are journalism/writing and film making and video editing. I also like comedy and YouTube. I'm single and I like girls. I really like Greta Thunberg and I think most of us need to be vegetarians to reach our climate goals. As a former soccer player I also like Leo Messi – the best player of all time I think – and some sources say that he was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at the age of 8. I think this forum's name is ironic but I understand it. However this is the right planet and society wouldn't be where it is without many autistic personalities thinking outside the box. I'm glad to be here on the forum. Regards, The Dude.

Welcome to WP! I hope you enjoy the company here.

I'm curious, though, do you just enjoy the company of Auties or are you also one?

I'm diagnosed with atypical autism. I like auties/aspies. But also some neurotypical. Then often persons with a similar personality – also known as a cousin. Often they are geeks.

Thank you. Either way would've been OK...but I was curious.

I'm not a fan of "the dude" in that movie. But it's a good movie. The fictional character I like the most is on my avatar.

I get the feeling you're a Holden Caulfield fan.
