Hi all

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.

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.

Hey j_k welcome.

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.
