Hi,

I landed on Wrong Planet yesterday with the idea of doing some research for a story that I am writing with an autistic vigilante in it. I keep coming across things that remind me of me, though, and being surprised. Eg. The way people ask me out of the blue for no obvious reason what's wrong or whether I'm angry, when actually I'm having a good day. It's mostly social things.

I don't think I have enough quirks to be diagnosable with anything in particular, nor do I really feel the need for a label, but it's neat to run across people who understand certain things. Maybe this character I'm working on will be easier than I thought.

So yeah, hi. :-) I will be visiting this planet for a while if the locals don't mind.

Well, sort of, but with different superpowers and no cape.

:wink:

How about this? A guy with an obsession in comics and technology suddenly becomes a anti-hero vigilante...
