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? :P

We got lots of music stuff here, so, hmm, enjoy :D
 
Ahhh welcome to AC! Jump in when you are ready and hang out. We're a pretty great bunch. The water is nice and warm Welcome welcome welcome!
 
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 :D
 
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...
 
Indeed, Balder. The 2 most popular interests in this group is geek stuff (expected) and music. Languages is a third, given our diverse backgrounds :D
 
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.
