What are three other things about me?
1. I'm a total pop culture junkie with a broad vocabulary of references, cultivated good taste, and an appointment with my T.V. tonight for a double dose of Game of Thrones and Mad Men.
2. I'm diagnosed with Aspergers though or a variety of reasons, most pertaining to effective advocacy (a passion of mine), I identify as 'an autistic person' not an 'aspie' or a 'person with Autism/Aspergers'.
3. I've eschewed the traditional college experience for online classes and backyard chickens.
4. **BONUS ROUND**
I'm excited to talk to some new people and have some great conversations about Autism with people who actually understand. |

Hi ExcitinglyOpaque ! Just reading your intro post now. It's so cool to me to talk to adults on the spectrum because they have a totally different perspective on what people like us are capable of.
Whelp, seems as though I've done something wrong already, loner of loners, autistic of autistics, silly me. |

What do you mean you did something wrong? most people on here are socially awkward, and overly cautious in some ways. I plan to try to watch game of thrones from the beginning soon. I could tell you what happens in every episode of the office and the big bang theory

Ha, I always think everyone hates me until they tell me they like me and then I think everyone hates me.
Big Bang Theory is a total guilty pleasure for me. Have a written screeds about it's portrayal of Sheldon (who is clearly meant to be autistic)? Yes. Do I lock the doors, close the blinds and laugh through an episode every week? You betcha'
I can't recommend GoT highly enough. Have you read/considered reading the series? |

I had forgotten that it was based off of a book. Haven't really thought about it. I read a lot though

| I really enjoyed the books. As a fellow Orson Scott Card fan you should trust me. |

What are you talking about, done something wrong? Don't be too hard on yourself! |
