Hey everyone, I just joined here and I'm loving it so far. It's kind of like that music video for Blind Melon's "No Rain" where that girl is dancing around in a bumble bee suit and no one get's it until the end where she finds a field full of bumble bee people and they all start dancing jubilantly (if you have no idea what I'm talking about don't worry-it's a 90's thing, plus I say weird things like that all the time). I guess I should say a little something about myself. I'm 20 years old (but I am 4'10'' so I occasionally still get those offers for 12 and under discounts and kids menus, which I think is a hoot) and I am a sophmore in college. I have a few really great friends and although we all go to different schools I still see them a few times a year. They are great people who like my differences-if you haven't found people like that yet, they are out there, so don't give up looking!. I have found that I can't really relate to a lot of the people I go to school though with since many of them seem hung up on things that I think are kinda trivial, plus I don't like to drink! I like doing pretty much everything else though; my main hobbies are writing, drawing, listening to music, reading, learning about stuff...and a few other things but I won't bore y'all with that. I found out that I had AS a year ago but I haven't been officially diagnosed b/c it's not really well-known around here yet-which is unfortunate b/c I see a person from time to time who probably has it but doesn't know it and that's really tough...I want to help them but I'm not sure how. Having it drives me insane sometimes but I wouldn't change it for anything; I consider myself kind of lucky that I am able to see things the way we do-NT's are kind of limited by prejudgements and stereotypes and all those unwritten rules and it causes a lot of problems and causes them to miss and overlook a lot, but we are free from all that. I think in that way we have an important place in the world and will change it-are changing it-for the better. I'm sorry this was so long, I guess I've just had all that stored up for awhile! Well I better vamoose before I bore you all to tears, but hopefully I'll "talk" to you all later!

I see we have another college person from wisconsin here... Mind if I ask what campus you are on and where your from?

Hi!! I was really surprised to see another person from the land of cheese, glad to hear from you! I go to UW Milwaukee but I live in Oostburg (just a little south of Sheboygan) and I drive down there everyday. I see you go to Oshkosh, how do you like it there?

This is my first semester here at oshkosh. So far it's going ok, I might have to drop a class to save my GPA from going into the toilet. I normally live in manitowoc and drive there on the weekends. You and I live probably only 25 miles from each other. There's another memeber here who lives in mequon, not too far south of you.

Hey, midge. I just wanted to also meet a college student from Wisconsin. I also go to UW-Oshkosh. I'm the other one that lives in Mequon, but used to live in Shorewood. You probably know where that is, seeing as you go to UWM. I was just wondering what your major is and how the heck did you end up being at a campus with about 23,000 students. First of all, that's my main reason why I didn't go to UWM was because of how many students were on campus. That's all. It's nice to meet somebody else from Wisconsin.

Hi! It was really nice to hear from you too. My major is clinical lab sciences (but I am changing it to English b/c I love to write and am a walking disaster in the laboratory-I like science tho which was why I got into it in the first place) Milwaukee does seem like a weird choice for someone like me, but it has one of the best health sciences programs around, and as a bonus it's within driving distance. The massive amount of people does bother me a lot sometimes, especially b/c they are all so much alike and b/c some of them are worse than high school students!! I just sort of try to find quiet places and when I can't I just sort of tune everything out which I'm pretty good at. At the end of the day tho I love being able to get out of there and drive home. I really admire people like you that can tough it out and live on campus, though. I would probably throw my roomate out the window (if she didn't throw me out first!). I have met some great people through clubs like Circle K which has some really nice, crazy people in it and is pretty small. Yeah...some days it's pretty good and some days I want to drive off to Mexico and park my butt on a sandy beach and lie there for about a year. Well, I hope everything's going good for you, and it was nice to hear from you and maybe i'll talk to ya again in the future (if I didn't just annoy the crap out of you of course)
