The name's rupert. Am a 24 year old computer engineer that is just trying to keep busy the best he can whilst the job market and economy go thru their woes.

Was diagnosed autistic at the age of 2 and from there a lot of extreme ableism and abuse was suffered at the hands of my folks. Despite that I somehow managed to graduate college and still have aspirations of being a functional member of society. I have a lot of useless knowledge about computers that's itching to be used.

A video about it will be posted in another thread when I'm not restricted from doing so, as introductions aren't the place for it.

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

And I hope you find computers a nice place to "be". They were for me...a long, long time ago.
