I am new here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while, but I thought I might as well sign up.

My first name is Anton. Duh.

Age: I am 20 years old, soon to be 21.

Location: The northern part of Sweden, in a smallish town.

Hobbies and Interests: Reading! I especially like reading about anything philosophical or religious in nature. I also enjoy discussing these subjects. I also have an interest in magic (though I am skeptical to it). I am also interested in writing. Roleplaying has long been an interest of mine, but I have been quite inactive on that front lately.

Why are you here? I've been seeing a psychiatrist for 5 years because of my severe OCD, but now he suggests that I may have AS as well. He also thinks that my OCD is linked to AS. I've read up on AS quite a bit, and I think it fits well on me. I am getting diagnosed in February or March (probably February).

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Not yet diagnosed, but probably AS.

Favorite subjects: See above.

Year/Grade: The swedish school system isn't as the American one, so I'm not sure what to say on this one. But I am on university.

Favorite music: Heh, I listen to so many different kinds of music, I'm not sure I can say I have a favorite. I listen to lots of theme music to Animes and RPGs. Right now I listen a lot to Bob Marley too.

Books: Philosophical books are of great interest. Nietzsche is one of my favorites. I see him as very optimistic. Sartre is also good. Except that I also enjoy reading fantasy.

TV shows/Movies: I hardly watch any TV, but when I do I prefer the news, or shows like The Simpsons or Family Guy, due to the comical value.

Instrument: I can't play any intrument. I have made a few attempts at learning the guitar, but my interest quickly waned.

Do you like sports? Well, it depends on what you mean. I hated sports in school, and I dislike team sports over all. I love going out running on my own though.

Family: Still living at home with my parents and our cat. I have one sister who's 23 years old, but she's moved out.

Clothing: I usually wear soft clothes, and T-shirts only. When I'm home, I tend to undress and walk around in boxers.
When I have to wear costumes/tuxedos and such, I feel like a snake trying to shed his skin.

How did you find this website? Hmm, don't remember actually. When I scour the internet, I oftentimes forget how I got somewhere.

Job: Nah, I study.

Plans for the future? Well, my most immediate future is about getting evaluated and diagnosed. When that has been done, we'll see. I will probably continue my studies on the university, but I may change and study something else.

Any comments? Don't think so. Or, well, I'm happy I found this site. I think it can prove valuable to me, and perhaps I can contribute in some small way.
