Hi Everyone,

I am a 32 year old male, self-diagnosed Aspie that recently started seeking professional counseling. I have taken several self-evaluations, and recently went through a professional evaluation and preliminary screening, which my counselor advise me strongly suggested ASD. I definitely struggle with social interaction and verbal communication, I get frustrated during some interactions, and have difficulty meeting new people and maintaining relationships.

I am really excited that I found this site. I would really like to see what I can learn from other Aspies as well as provide some support when I can.

A few things about myself: I am a vegetarian, I really love long-distance running, and I am almost always in the middle of reading a few books. I get into other interests/hobbies all the time, so I am sure a new one or two will start soon.

That is all I have for now. Glad I found the site and I am looking forward to some good and fun discussions.

j_k

Welcome to WP!

I ran three marathons in the 1990s.

One of my favorite books of all time is "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" by Alan Sillitoe.

Thanks to you all. And thank you kraftiekortie for the book recommendation. Sounds like my kind of read. Also, a tip of the hat on completing the marathons. :)
