Hi, my name is Greg. I'm a self-diagnosed Aspie. I'd go see a doctor to make it official but I'm an English speaking American living in Spain and have a hard time explaining complicated things in Spanish and I have learned to beat the challenges well enough to make it on my own. Things I deal with: I spend weeks and sometimes months eating, living, sleeping and breathing a single topic. I've got zero understanding of sarcasm and take verbal input very literally. I get anxiety attacks waiting in line next to people in the cafeteria at work for fear of having to partake in small talk yet I can talk comfortably at long length about the things that I'm very interested in. I often times spill very personal truths to people I hardly know and find it impossible to lie. I'm a visual thinker. Apart from all of that, I'm a pretty sane, happy (in my own way) and successful person. Nice to meet you.
