What is your first name? Elizabeth

Age: 33

Location: Oregon

Hobbies and Interests: There are so many but here are some: Organic gardening, almost all sports (playing not watching) my latest favorite is rock climbing, cooking, reading,

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): 2 days ago

Favorite subjects:

Year/Grade: Lots of college/no degree

Favorite music: Depends on my mood, mostly goth/industrial, trance, acid jazz. Lately I have been into the new album by Empire of the Sun-Walking on a Dream and POE. I really don't care for country, speed metal, or hardcore rap.

Books: Recent reads: The Egg and I, Dune-books 1-3 (again), The Innocent Man by John Grisham

TV shows/Movies: I don't own a tv anymore, but I still watch SouthPark via www . Movies, I love movies and I can and have watched many over and over. My collection is mostly animation, comedy, fantasy/sci-fi and thriller/mystery. Some are: Fifth Element, Dune, The Matrix, Silence of the Lambs, Monty Python, Space Balls, Princess Bride, Shrek

Do you like sports? Playing-yes...watching-mostly no, though Basketball is worthy

Clothing: I do tend to wear the same thing for about 3 days unless I have to go into town then I change because I don't want to seem weird. I do however like to wear nice and fashionable clothing and jewelry.

How did you find this website? through aspergers dot com

Job: Currently I am a domestic engineer, but I was an accounting clerk for 12 yrs

Plans for the future? owning my own business

Any comments? I am very happy to have found out about asperger's and this community. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me and that I am not alone anymore.

Welcome home, Elizabeth. I live in Oregon, too! The best therapy for Asperger's Syndrome for adults is WrongPlanet.net. (at least it was for me)

Thank you all for welcoming me.

It has been quite a relief to learn that I am not alone, but at the same time I am still dealing with the fact that I have a disorder after 33 years of knowing there is something about you that is not the same as "normal" people but not once thinking you actually have a disorder that is not repairable. I hope to get to know some of you and discuss these issues as well as others that we all seem to have and hopefully form some lasting friendships.

Sincerely,
E

Welcome to the community. I hope you get as much out of this place as I have. A truly wonderful experience to be here for me.

Hello!

Yes. I take great pride, too, in being a Leo/Rabbit. I have found that the astrological definitions of both fit me pretty well. I have five tattoos and 2 of them are related to my sign. I have a Lion's head and a sun on my back and I plan on getting a Ram's head somewhere on my body, thinking maybe my foot. The Ram's head is for my son, who is an Aries.

Welcome to WP, Elizabeth!

You like POE (Ann Danielewski)? Haunted is one of my favorite albums!
