Hello, beautiful people!

[Liza Jane]

Hi

I've been researching Autistic Spectrum Disorders for almost a year now (since Temple Grandin spoke at my university). I have been diagnosed with ADD. I have some autistic/Aspie traits, many of which I've managed to cover up. My favorite topics are music, psychology, spirituality and linguistics. So far, I have two friends who I know are on the spectrum. They're pretty cool.

I will enjoy reading your posts!

Hi Liza, welcome to Aspies Central.

Hope you find AC nice and supportive.

Got Temple Grandin's signature?

We got lots of music stuff here, so, hmm, enjoy

[Liza Jane]

Thank you both!

No, I didn't bother to get her autograph, lol.

This seems like a really accepting place. I just read a few threads on obsessions. The discussions go so in-depth

I found out that people here have a lot of different obsessions, but as far as I noticed (I might be wrong) the most common are related to music and languages...

 

[Geordie]

Indeed, Balder. The 2 most popular interests in this group is geek stuff (expected) and music. Languages is a third, given our diverse backgrounds

Hi Liza Jane! Welcome to the forum. Neat that you got to hear Temple Grandin speak at your uni. Unis provide wonderful opportunities in that regard. I recall seeing many noteworthy people speak too. I hope you enjoy it here: people tend to be nice & very open & we come from every conceivable bkgd so please feel free to jump right in.

Welcome Liza Jane to AC, this is a very welcoming community, and has helped me tremendously.
You'll find a great group of people here and if you can think of the topic, it's probably already on the forums, and if not, post it.
We love a great discussion.
