What are you all like?

Post Reply New Topic

I am curious to know what you are all like. I think this is a great opportunity to do so. I will start.

I am a soft-spoken kind of guy, but I have changed a great deal as far as my appreciation for what life has brought me is concerned.

I used to be very lazy, and not want to go anywhere. I wanted to stay at home. Now, since I have decided to have more of a life, I will either go to work or college, and possibly get a roommate.

I read the article of the overview of Asperger's Syndrome, and I agree without a doubt that computer programming would be a good profession for someone like that. As a matter of fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do if I get a Bachelor's degree.

I can carry on a conversation. I sometimes may not say something the way I mean to say it. That is an accident.

I know to be the best that I can be, and really strive if I want to achieve my goals and get a good career.

Is anyone else similar to me, or do any of you work in computers?

Hello!

People describes me as having a little girl's high pitched voice (I am 20), though sometimes it can go very deep, when I'm moody or annoyed. I hate it when my father imitates my deep voice.
Schoolmates and siblings also describes me as weird or mad...

I enjoy staying home and don't like having to go out. I spend my life on the Internet when ther is no school. I also read a lot and play the violin.

Sometimes I can't carry out a conversation, even with people I know and like. But that's rare, even though I seldom speak.

I dress up simply, and my hair is short(well, it's getting long). As I don't like going to the hairdresser (too much people and too much mirrors...), my sister usually cuts it. But these day I would like it to be very short. Alas, I don't think she is able to cut it that short...

So, you've always been a quiet one, Fiddler. You dress up simply. I wonder what you do in the winter (when it's summer here, of course.) Something tells me you'd be too hot in a pair of pants. You read a lot. I read also, but only books that give me information. Believe it or not, I used to read the phone book at my mother's place when she didn't know it. My head of hair is thick and is cut when it has to be.

I guess you could say I am quiet, but I can be very talkative at times, depending on who I am with. Having a conversation with someone else isn't really all that difficult with me. Since starting college a few weeks ago, I have spent most of my spare time just in my dorm room, usually on my computer or studying. I actually have 3 roomates, and they haven't caused me too many problems. I can understand why a number of Aspies are computer programmers, but I am much more interested in engineering. I am planning on getting a master's degree and do not want to enter the workforce until then.

I posted along these lines under another topic, but here goes:

I'm kinda like a Hobbit. Content to stay at home, unadventurous, perfectly happy with the status quo. Lover of gardens and growing things. Eager to eat, drink, argue and debate with people I know well, but quiet and suspicious of strangers, cities, and the unknown. A cozy hobbit-hole and a patch of garden in the Shire would be heaven on earth, to me.

I'm the shortest person in my very tall family. Plus there's those rather obvious points atop my ears...(seriously!) Hence my avatar, Rosie Cotton, from LOTR. When I was a bit heavier, had my hair permed and wore contacts, I looked like her.

Now I've lost weight, have straight hair, glasses, and I'm living in Bree. Aackkk!

Welcome to the board!

I am known to be very quiet and shy in school (unless someone picks on someone else or myslef, then I get very defensive). Once someone gets to know me though I get to me more outgoing and talk more. I usually am not very good at carrying on a conversation and am never able to keep eye contact with anyone except my close family members. At home, I'm lazy and usually yelling to someone in my family to be quiet. I love animals, art, country music, digital photography, and the computer. I despise having to go to school and sit through boring classes that I zone out in and sometimes fall asleep for a few seconds (very embarrasing). I also despise talking on the phone. That's about all I could think of right now, although there are probably tons more.

I tend to be a very withdrawn person when I'm around others, although I open up more when I'm around people I know and/or I am comfortable with.

My favorite place to be is my room where I can block the windows with tag board so I can make it pitch black inside, even on the sunniest of days.

I'm a common, Female, Cockneyfied version of Austin Powers with clean teeth. Just picture Austin Powers wearing Flared Jeans, a T-shirt and a Newsboy Cap.

i stay at home most of the time, but then again going out is fun..long as it's not to a party or something, i just really am not a party person. although the crowds and noise doesn't bother me so much anymore. i guess there just ain't much to do.. walk around, sit, talk to someone for 5 seconds before someone else comes and steals them away..

i've got long hair. (i'm a male) a couple years back when it was short i thought it would be kinda cool to grow it but was a bit scared to do so, thinking it might look crappy.. but one day i just said, eh, screw it.. and here we are, and it looks better than before. pretty annoying after a shower though..ha.

i'm a total computer addict, and i consider myself an expert. but i'm no teacher.. i really have very little patience when it comes to trying to help other people with their computers. i was into programming years ago, but just QuickBasic.. i thought i wanted to be a programmer then, but i sorta stopped doing it for whatever reason, and got more into music.

i prefer to talk to people on msn than over the phone usually. with msn it's perfect: you get to take as long as you want to think of the right thing to say, and there are no awkward pauses. like this one person i would always talk to on msn, when i would talk on the phone with her it was pretty different and just no good..

generally i'm a nice and pretty calm guy, except when i get really annoyed.. then i might get into my 'don't care' thing, wherein i just act however i want without caring at all if i'm being improper, or rude, or offending anybody, because i'm REAL FRUSTRATED DAMMIT.. heh. what a crappy first impression of myself i've just described. oh well, don't care.

reading of hobbits up there, got me thinking.. something about them and their lifestyle has always appealed to me. ya know what, i think i'm kinda like that Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit - enjoys the simple stay-at-home hobbit lifestyle as much as the next, but has a 'tookish' side that wants to go have a big adventure also
i love natural beauty, only i don't know a clue about how to grow it and i think it would be too much trouble... also, some people might say "oh that forest is beautiful" but to me might just look an average bunch of trees with brown and dull greens.. heheh. i have my own idea of what makes a 'beautiful garden'..

i like to have long and 'deep' conversations with people, and i hate it when someone has to leave i wanna go on talking to them forever until i have absolutely nothing else in my brain left to say!

this may sound strange since i'm aspie, but i LOVE to perform on stage. when i'm doing that, i'm in the moment and having the time of my life. but then everyone has to come up to me telling me how i was really good.. which gets annoying after about 10 people have done it.. i'd prefer if they all just applaud/cheer as usual and then leave me alone but ah well, the life of a performer i guess.

well that's about all i can think of for now.. sorry for the length.

I'm very social and I'm always talking, but only with my friends. Around strangers I get quiet and impatient because I want to leave.
I'm fidgety and forgetful. I'm EXTREMELY rude. I have no awareness of social etiquette but I care very much for people's feelings. People consider me an unpredictable person and maybe that's what makes me interesting.

The AS qualities lurk underneath though, and at the end of the day I do like to stay home and just do my own thing.

I'm very shy. I have always been "the kid in the back that everyone picks on"
I have a few friends, but they are younger than me. I don't get along well with kids my age.
I have shoulder length brown hair, & brown eyes. I'm a girl.
I have 4 cats, 1 hamster, 1 frog, & 2 hermit crabs.

I can be lazy too

Wow!

A bumping of my second-ever thread!

If anyone cares to reply to it, especially the new members, please do!

Hi mate, welcome to the site

I'm on the autistic spectrum, I just don't know whereabouts.

I am softly spoken, avoid eye contact and have social anxiety.

I have an affinity for computers. I taught myself to program when I was 10 years old.

During my A-level I was half way through my end of year project while everybody else was still learning how to do loops and conditions. I picked it up very quickly and have the logical analytical brain to be an excellent programmer. I got the highest programming mark in the coursework out of 80 people at a very good college.

I seem to have a tendency for maths, science and computing.

Welcome again

I'm a girl, who is always loud. I'm 15, yet I don't act it. I have Asperger's Syndrome, and it's quite bad. I have a short temper, and I used to get offensive when people hurt my feelings. I've calmed down a lot since then, and now I'm calm. I have no friends in real life, but I have heaps online. I'm obsessed with video games and the Internet. I like to draw in a manhwa/manga style which I developed myself. I also love to read fantasy novels.

Oh, Mark? Just so you know, I've been a member of this forum since September of 2004. That is a very late welcome!

But, it was nice to know more about who you are anyway!
