Hi, my name is Morris. I'm a computer scientist living in Washington, DC. I'm not really sure if I have AS or not (I've never been diagnosed), but I think I may have it because I've always had problems with people, especially of the female kind, but in general too. I can't seem to know what they're thinking and feeling, which has led to a great number of misunderstandings in social situations, yet I can instantly see where the problem is in a computer program. In addition to computers, my interests include coin collecting, amateur astronomy, and ballroom dancing (only kidding about the last one). I also do volunteer work for an organization called CASA. I'm an avid reader, particularly of non-fiction and science fiction. Being a little bit older, my favorite music is from back in the '60s, such as the Beatles and Rolling Stones; though I like some of the new stuff too, such as coldplay. My favorite movies include 2001, Edward Sissorhands , and Things to Come, by HG Wells, which I first saw when I was 3 or 4 and left an indelible impression on me. Largely because of my social awkwardness and inexperience, it is difficult for me to make friends, and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who shares my interests.

Many men have "problems" of the female kind, not knowing what they're thinking and feeling so don't think that makes you any
different.

I love Astronomy, too...among many other interests.

Nice meeting you!

... computer ... and my mother used to do some ballroom dancing!

... my favorite music is from back in the '60s ... and I can listen to Arlo's 40th-anniversary version of "Alice's Restaurant" for an hour or two at a time ... but I still do not know all the words.
