What is your first name?

Age: 21

Location: Belgium

Hobbies and Interests:
- 3D arts (modelling, texturing, animating)
- programming (especially C++)
- unicycle trials, a serious sport when practised at a high level, but unfortunately still fairly unknown. It's receiving more attention over the years though.
- gaming, but not so much.
- baking/cooking

Why are you here? To learn to cope with the disadvantages of autism, and apply the tips/stories/information in real life.

When were you diagnosed?: around 2008 if I remember correctly. I was 15 years old.

Favorite subjects: (see hobbies)

Year/Grade:
- Did one year of Digital Arts and Entertainment in Kortrijk. Programming, math/physics and 3D arts were awesome. preproduction was terrible, because I suck at digital painting. I would never have gotten my degree.
- I'm trying to finish my second year of "applied information technology" in Leuven now (it's a three year programme). It's my third year here. Slowly, I'm getting there... The actual things I learn are easy as pie, but I'm having problems with time management and interpreting questions, or information in general . In my opinion, a degree (for IT people) doesn't mean much. I know 17 year olds, smarter than people with over two degrees. Unfortunately these people are worthless in today's society.
What I learn there is not all that interesting, and often I'm bored. But getting a degree is the only way to get a job nowadays.

Favorite music: celtic, folk, metal, folk metal, pirate metal, power metal, gothic metal, drumstep, chillstep, dubstep, metal, dubstep, drum and bass, trailer music, film music, game music, soundtracks, happy hardcore, nightcore... Aaaaaahh, all these subgenres are driving me crazy.

Books: over 30 books, all informational. I've read them all, from the first page till the last page: programming (C++, Java, C#, design patterns, data structures, OpenGL, DirectX...), algorithms, math, physics, SQL, texturing, 3D modelling/sculpting (3ds Max, Mudbox, ZBrush), digital art showcases, animal wildlife, fishing, baking...

TV shows/Movies: The only series I watch is Person of Interest. I love all kinds of movies really.

Instrument: /

Do you like sports? yes, unicycling. No, I'm not a clown. No, I'm not in a circus.

Family: My parents are divorced, but I love them both very much :). I have one sister. She's 23 years old. I live with my mother, but regularly visit my father. Both me, my sister, and my father have ASD.

Clothing: Black, black, and black. With some white and red here and there. I don't like shirts with text. Most of my clothing has a solid color. I do like dragons very much though :)

How did you find this website? I googled "eyecontact tips autism", or something like that, lol xd

Job: /

Plans for the future? getting a degree and start working as soon as possible

Any comments? I LOVE this website. You can't imagine how happy I am. I am still wondering why I didn't look for a forum earlier. It's been 21 years... I'm sure this website helps many people.

Early 2009.

What is your first name?
James

Age:
28

Location:
England, The United Kingdom, Earth, The Milky Way, Local Cluster, The Universe

Hobbies and Interests:
Computers, Psychology, Reading, Writing, Singing, Rapping, Problem Solving, Learning, Teaching, Helping others.

Why are you here?
Honestly? I'm kinda lost

When were you diagnosed?
A few months ago.

Favourite subjects:
Languages, Psychology etc.

Year/Grade:
N/A

Favourite music:
I'm Eclectic, but mostly stuff with clever or relatable lyrics and/or calm music, though stuff with a high BPM can help me concentrate, strangely.

Books:
Science Fiction and Fantasy mostly.


TV shows/Movies:
Anything with good characters, mostly psychological, sci-fi or fantasy though.

Instrument:
Voice

Do you like sports?
To a degree, but I dislike people getting distracted by it and shouting about it, it's mostly mindless entertainment if one is merely watching/listening/reading about it and not actually participating in it, I have a great dislike when people say "We" when talking about a team they support as they didn't do anything in my opinion.

Family:
Yes though I don't feel this special connection one is supposed to feel, I find it easy to relate only to those who make an effort and don't just assume the relationship is automatically going to work, those who try to understand and communicate a lot and work on themselves with a lot of self reflection.

Clothing:
Anything that feels comfortable with positive colours and nice designs.

How did you find this website?
I've known about it for some time, but decided to join due to recently being diagnosed.

Job:
No.

Plans for the future?
I don't really know, just continue to live.

Any comments?
Please ask me any questions.
