Kiprobalhato, I seem to want to pick an argument with everything you say, so please forgive me in advance, but I don't understand your first sentence, it sounds illogical to me; on the other hand, in the world of autism, our present understanding of it and the crazy world we live in... I'm not surprised!

oh no need to apologize :)
i meant that since i've been diagnosed since i was 4 i had known for a long time i simply had an "autism" label and diagnosis, but it wasn't until a lot later that i realized what that actually MEANT for me and finding more about what it means being on the spectrum...sorry if that sentence of mine came off as a bit of a semantic travesty!

Wow Kiprobalhato, you understood me, agreed and added another dimension! No wonder I didn't get it, that hardly ever happens to me :wink:

Thanks :D

ImAnAspie, what a lovely Welcome sign, thank you!

Yes I think you can describe painting as my Special Interest. I tend to focus on one thing, though that one thing has varied throughout my life. When I found out about autism, I guess I made that my Special Interest too, like you, I believe :)

Did you take up the idea of doing a degree in Psychology?


No sadly, I never did. Besides, I think I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to consider a career change. I'm just happy to have AS as a Special Interest. It takes up a LOT of my time :)

The other thing is, I've always been worried if I turned my Special Interest into a career (like I could have done with programming/networking), I would get sick of it and it would kill my Special Interest. Not sure though. Maybe that's just a cop out.
