Well, my superpowers have not been turned on in this forum, so I can't help you with the sticky part... YET.
Jana
30
Cats, violin, training for a marathon. I like Wii, but that isn't a perseveration quite yet.
First discovered AS about 1 year ago. Dx'd HFA age 9.
Other dx of depression. I've had anxiety in the past, but it doesn't bother me much anymore.
Degree - Master's in Public Health is my highest degree. BS in Psychology.
No kids.
I actually hate NIN. I like most rock music from the 60's and 70's and enjoy most classical music.
I am employed.
BTW - no fair posting questions and not answering them yourself  |

Ooh I'm jealous. Wish I'd gone that route instead of nursing. But at least my current degree is a partnership with the school of public health and half my classes will be with them. I start my first public health classes this fall and I am SO excited! |

What is your first name? Michael
Age: Nineteen.
Location: Canada
Current perseverations: Computers and Technology, abstractions, Spetznas, strategic stimuli, Sharaku, Music, rocks, Nerve agents.
When did you discover AS? Not long ago, I always knew of the Autistic spectrum but it was never something that concerned me being I was perfect and all.
Do you have other psych diagnoses? PTSD, avoiding the reality that I show and have shown signs of BPD and depression, it swayed more towards BPD due to my extreme anger issues.
Do you have a degree? No. I'm hoping to get into Information Technology, may look into Science Laboratory Technology.
Kids? Had one.
Favorite music, other than NIN. R U 4REALZ? NIN IS MUSIC. Kidding. Though I do like Nin. I have a variety expanding from David bowie to Marilyn Manson, Russian Punk, Japanese Rock, industrial, eroguro angura underground, I even like Cake. Thats a seriously broad horizon.
Job? Not currently, still battling problems.
Relationship with significant other, past or present? Past and confusing. Single is good.
Plans for the future? I'm still piecing things together. I hate uncertainty but this cannot be weighed at the moment.
Anything else you feel is pertinent: "Like its predecessor, sarin, cyclosarin is a liquid organophosphate nerve agent. Its physical characteristics are quite different from sarin, however.
At room temperature, cyclosarin is a colorless liquid whose odor has been variously described as sweet and musty, and resembling peaches or shellac. Unlike sarin, cyclosarin is a persistent liquid, meaning that it has a low vapor pressure, and therefore evaporates relatively slowly: about 69 times more slowly than sarin and 20 times more slowly than water. Its military value is therefore much greater as a liquid chemical weapon.
Also unlike sarin, cyclosarin is flammable, with a flash point of 94°C (201 °F). "
Fascinating? I think so.
Be careful next time you smell peaches.
