From London to Auckland with Love

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

Wish me luck I am going for an assessment soon to find out what sort of Alien I am.. My Parents think I am AS.. I have been researching this double edged blade with Interest ... We shall see.

I seem to display all of the symptoms but not atypically.

Perhaps because I was never diagnosed I have tried my whole life in many regards to be normal. The prospect of finding acceptance is very exciting and relieving. It has been a struggle for me to do/fail at some very "simple" things but I have extra ordinary abilities that for the most part go unrecognized.

My obsession is Philosophy but I have been studying it in a completely non linear way taking my own avenues of research from the broadest of sources.

I have tried to balance my social awkwardness but in so doing have gone too far and made myself a minor celebrity in my city and to some extent my (adopted) country of New Zealand.

I am 28, since I was 16 I have worked at more than 50 jobs including: Radio DJ, Audio Engineer, Cleaner, Builders Laborer, Kitchen Hand, Pizza Chef, Telemarketer, Rapper, Fishermans assistant, Turkey Factory worker, Coffin Factory woodwork, Event Planner, Retail store manager, Metal Worker/Welder, Cook, Warehousing, Gardener, Painter, Burger Chef, Promoter ..and the list goes on. I have been fired from most of these positions or quit due to stress and acute discomfort.

My education was similar, I attended 3 Middle Schools, 3 High Schools and 4 Tertiary Education providers and studied for several certificates in Silversmithing, Food Hygene, DJing and Music Production, First Aid and so on...

Home Life is the same. In the past 10 years I have lived at 30 different addresses.

I am very interested in the mechanics of unknown fields of knowledge, occult wisdom and history.. Philosophy is the goal.. It is all for that.

I feel a lot of shame that I can't support myself consistently but I am very proud of my mind. I feel like a wasted resource.

I have the most terrible fear of routine. I cant sleep but I must try...

It is not all bad!! Love will guide me onwards

I am very happy to have found this forum

Hi Everyone!

Hey man! Nice to see a fellow Aucklander and philosophy enthusiast!

If it turns out that you have AS or something like it, you should consider coming to the Auckland meetups run by Autism NZ. They're at midday on the third Saturday of every month, at 642 New North Road, Morningside. (This month is an exception, since the building is being renovated.) I've been slack and haven't gone to one for a while, but it would be cool to meet someone else who posts on Wrong Planet.

Welkome to WP
