Well, I just joined WrongPlanet yesterday. I've been suspecting for a while that something was different about my almost 4 year old son. I've always known he was different from other kids his age. Some things he's really advanced, but he's very anti-social. He goes into total meltdowns if he's in a big group of people. Today he had a really bad one at the library. I even realized that his nose started bleeding. Anyway, he has a really tough time at times. I also have a 2 year old son and an almost 2 month old baby girl. My husband and I live in North Carolina and plan on homeschooling the kids because of all the issues that our son has. I'm starting to suspect that something is possibly going on with our 2 year old as well so I'm definitely going to keep an eye on him. Both boys have issues with foods so I really have to be careful. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know everyone here at WrongPlanet.

Hi. I am new here. I just took the online aspie quiz the other day.
Your Aspie score: 146 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 82 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
...and I have been reading about it since then... and now a lot of things about me make sense to me.
Anyway, I will probably post more later. I am going to explore the site now. |

Greetings, all.
I'm Zeladoni (not my real name, just something I use online). I am a twenty-year-old student in the eastern GTA, Ontario, Canada. I'm privileged to live with my maternal grandmother, two cats, a couch potato of a Jack Russell Terrier and two fish. I visit my mother in the next town over every weekend. I go to college at Durham College, main campus. I am taking General Arts/Sciences, but I'd ideally want to take forensic psychology. Criminal Minds, therefore, is my absolute favourite television show. I never miss it of my own free will.  I LOVE Broadway musicals, Colm Wilkinson, Anthony Hopkins and draft horses. 
I dislike ignorant people, and I hate those who have hatred for those different from themselves.
I was diagnosed with traits of Aperger's Syndrome, Major Depression Disorder and Social-General Anxiety Disorder, and mild Obessisive Compulsive Disorder when I was twelve, eight long, hazardous years ago.
Anyway, I've been skulking around here for a while and I figured I'd get off my lazy rump and post something.
Ciao!
With Love and Peace (No I'm not a hippy),

Yo, everybody!
My name is Donna and I just registered today. I am 23 years old and I live in the Philippines. I had ADHD as a child and was misdiagnosed with an autism disorder that my doctor dismissed telling my mom I was just going through some phases. By the time I was in my teens, I had bipolar episodes and ticks.
I grew up with no support (regarding my psychological struggles) at all from my parents (they were ignorant that a disorder exists and my mom even sent me away to my dad who lived in another region three times because she can’t handle my tantrums). There were times I was sent to the psychiatrist for sessions, though. I was bullied all the way from grade school until the early years of high school by my siblings and classmates. I didn’t have a lot of friends except for Pippi Longstocking (my hero, the strongest girl in the world).
I always felt different and I tried so hard to fit in (cliché). Anyway, it wasn’t until I met my boyfriend that I realized there was really something wrong with me. The only emotions I was familiar with were love and anger, so if I felt like I didn’t love him, I was mad at him and if I wasn’t mad at him I was so sweet and clingy. After 2 years of dating, he told me that his patience with me is wearing off. That hit me and that’s when I started researching my “disorder” and I came across Asperger’s. When I was reading what Asperger was, I felt like I was looking at myself and I started to understand the things I cannot comprehend about myself. That was four years ago. My boyfriend and I are still together and he’s been helping me a lot with social training, etcetera. But I still can’t get the hang of socializing.
I am an ex-Christian who is torn between being a maltheist or a deist but I’m leaning more on the maltheistic point of view. I love crafting – paper crafts, soap making, baking and cooking, sewing and reconstructing clothes. I am a big fan of street fashion and my favorite fashion accessories are socks and stockings. I love collecting school supplies, especially those made by Maped. I love ballpens with 0.3-0.5mm tips (Pilot is my favorite brand). I love reading, anything from philosophy to religion to instruction manuals (the ones from China I read for gloomy days). My favorite authors include Umberto Eco and Alan Lightman. My favorite philosophers are Soren Kierkegaard and Jean Paul Sartre and my favorite scientist is Nikola Tesla.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy and was enrolled for a semester in an MS degree program in Chemistry but I quit. I thought I loved Chemistry but I found out it was too boring for me. I want to study Microbiology instead. But I need to get out of my country because I feel it’s so small and limiting to what I want to do with my life. I have great passion for research and technical writing. And I think I want to do that for a living.
Hope to find friends here. Not the "normal" needy ones, though.

I am a 21 years old, I live in the Netherlands, and I am autistic. I'm also a geek, and I am racially mixed (my mom is Chinese/German and my dad is Caribbean), so I'm used to being the odd one out wherever I go. But that's okay, my mother has always supported me and I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for her. I've gone through a little depression not too long ago, but now I'm back on my feet again.
I love Transformers and 80s pop music.
I have been out of school for years now. I must find a job so I can get me a little room of my own and get the money I need to finally go to Uni (I know I'm late, please don't remind me). I want to be a biologist. 
I haven't had any friends since my school days, but as a sort of substitute I've been active on an online comic book message board for a year now; interestingly I discovered there that my autism still affects my communication, even though the lack of confrontation with faces and such is sort of a 'dampening' factor, if you will.
Well, that's me. Ta-daa! |
Welcome fellow-mokumer!

| Hello, my name is Marc, I have twin ten year old girls, one of which has Apergers. Unfortunately, they live far away and I see them in the summer and on holidays. My daughter was diagnosed just recently and I really don't know much about it. I just want to learn as much as I can, so that I can be more involved and be of help to her mother. |
