Hi, I'm Matthew, and I play the tuba (obviously!)
I am 20 and I live in Christchurch New Zealand. (which is REALLY wet at the moment!)

I first found out about Aspergers in October or November last year, looked it up, and decided that I must be an Aspie. I got an official diagnosis at the end of January.

I play in three orchestras and a concert band, and I like the romantic and early 20th century composers like Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Vaughan Williams, Elgar, Wagner, Strauss (both), and Janacek.

I am halfway through my second year at uni doing a Science degree majoring in Physics and Astronomy.

I have a huge interest in Astronomy, and I got an A+ in a first year course (which I was expecting) and an A- in the second year course I did.
