Hi all,

Well, I'm new to this whole thing... and I'm afraid I'm a bit new to the whole AS thing, too - until about a year and a half ago, I hadn't even heard the word "autism" (I gather that's unusual - I'm 18 now).

Anyhoos, since being told that I am "no longer in an environment where I'm the only one", I am having what I believe the gay community call a "minority group complex".

And I'm on study leave and BORED out of my MIND!!!

So, having had enough of being hassled by my mum to get out there and try and meet people, I have ended up...here! (For goodness sake, don't tell my mum!)

Anyone else at Massey? What're you studying? Are you as bored as I am?

Cool

Thank you! Smile

Aah, at last... like-minded individuals... AND I am no longer the only person in my hall who is not on a social networking site! (Of course, they're all going to be fruitlessly searching on Facebook...)

cheers

Oh, and I'm sure I heard somewhere that Coyote /did/ catch RR once. Sometime in the '80s, I think it was...
