I swear sometimes I think I'm the only Aspie in East Texas.

Ahem, yeah, some way to start my intro thread, eh? =D; Anywho, rather than call me by my user name, feel free to call me Adam. I'm a Southeast Texas Aspie who's a college student at Lamar State College and working on a Sociology degree. After going to the Port Allen Autism/Asperger's Conference featuring Tony Attwood and Jed Baker back in October, I feel like this is the career path I wanna go for. After all, I seem to be rather outspoken about many things, the biggest one being sexual morality. Yeah, everyone's gonna hear more about that from me in the future. XD;

My interests include Sociology, video games, computers, the internet (because I have no social life outside of it. Go figure :P), discussions over pretty much anything, heavy metal music, online roleplaying, studying and learning about various people, cultures, religions, lifestyles, etc., and learning more about human sexuality (since that's what I really want my main focus to be on in my Sociology degree, hopefully).

I could go into more details about myself, but I've already spent two paragraphs doing so, that and I want everyone here to ask me questions, too, if anyone has any. I'm an open book, so nothing's off limits for me. And with that, yeah, here's my intro, and here's to me meeting more Aspies like myself. :>

I am just outside of Houston, so you're not the only East Texan here.

Welcome to WP!

Being around other aspies is actually kind of overrated.

I suppose, but the novelty is great nonetheless!
