Evening, guys. Just thought I'd pop into this forum to introduce myself. I 'm a diagnosed Aspie and, well, I just got tired of communicating solely with NTs. To be quite overly dramatic, I guess I want to be around 'my own kind'. So, with that in mind, I signed up here, great to meet anyone who pops there head in 
.
Erm, some other basic info? I'm 18, male, originally from London but now live up in the Shetland Islands in Scotland. I'm an avid PC gamer, I love to read, write (poems and fiction) watch films, eat and admire the fairer sex 
.

Welcome to WP. I hope you like it here.
The Shetland Islands eh? It's a bit far from anywhere isn't it - what are you doing up there? Or is that part of the appeal?

Hah, while how quiet it is has its charms, I'm actually up here as I moved with my parents for the sake of my sisters' education (schools weren't exactly great where I was from). Apart from the fact that I can't understand a word that anyone says and I don't have any friends, it's working out alright, got a job and uni, via video conferencing.

Are you living in Lerwick or outside it?
Wow, what a move to make though - it must be about as far away from London you can get and still remain in the UK!
That isn't peculiar to the Shetland Islands though by any means.
Join the club.
What's the Internet like up there? I'd imagine it to be pretty slow comparable to most of the rest of the UK all things considered?

I'm told it sounds like a mixture of Norwegian and Scottish, the Shetland accent (due to being closer to Norway than to London). Would you mind elaborating on Shetland accents a little? Might be quite interesting.
Excellent! Do you how how fast your Internet connection will be once they've finished?
