What is your first name? Paula
Age: Seventeen, as of now.
Location: Southeastern United States
Hobbies and Interests: Literature, music, art, people, psychology, philosophy, learning, reading, and many other activities along the lines of the former.
Why are you here? This forum is fascinating to me. I thoroughly enjoy reading the various theories about autism, the human mind, relationships, and the plethora of other theories that the members derive at. It felt a bit rude of me to read into the personal lives of these people like reading the lives of characters in a book, so I decided to join the website in hopes of perhaps contributing something to the body of people that has brought me so much amusement and understanding.
Favorite subjects: I have always excelled at and enjoyed anything dealing with literature; English was always a strong subject, as well as Creative Writing. I also enjoy music classes (Four years of band, two years of choir), Spanish, history, and anything that does not require me to perform a large amount of mathematical computations.
Favorite music: Any and every kind, really, barring overly-synthesized "techno/Dubsteb" that is so popular today.
Books: I can read virtually anything and find enjoyment in it, though I adore poetry (especially that of Shakespeare and Emily Dickson--cliche, I'm aware, but they're famous for a reason) and the works of Scot Westerfield.
TV shows/Movies: I am not largely into movies or television.
Instrument: Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Piano/Keyboard, Vocals
Do you like sports? Spectating? I enjoy watching martial arts, figure skating, dancing, and fencing; Performing? I have very little kinetic ability and thus do not usually partake in such activities, though I took dance and figure skating throughout my early childhood and still figure skate regularly enough for me to consider myself to be an amateur figure skater (I do not take lessons anymore; I do, however, learn a few tatics on my own here and there). Is chess considered a sport? If so, then I do participate semi-regularly in this sport (even though the skill is definitely lacking).
Family: Scattered, slightly dysfunctional, yet the best family I could have ever asked for. :0
Clothing: Protective fabric that I wear to shelter myself from the outside environment. Save for a few sentimental pieces of clothing, it is not too much more complicated than that for me.
How did you find this website? This wonderful site comes up fairly easily with any Google search of the words "autism" and "Aspergers".
Job: Poet, Writer, Student, And A Bit Of A Polymath.
Plans for the future? I shall comment on this at a later time; basically, however, it involves creating as much art (literary, drawings, and musical) as I possibly can and making as much as a positive difference on the world and universe we live in as possible.
Any comments? Salutations, my fellow universe dwellers.  |

Any comments? Sure. A few interesting things about me - I am legally blind in my right eye. I was born with Amblyopia (lazy eye), and they caught it too late to do surgery. I can keep it from wandering in most cases, but when I get tired it can wander everywhere. Thanks to that I also have about no depth perception, which means I can't drive. It's a hard life, but you live with what you get. |
