Hello everyone, Im a young adult and have shown many features related to the spectrum since an early age, nevertheless I would be normally regarded as functional. I managed to graduate from a decent college in my country, but my traits has carried me backwards to insert in society after studies.

Some little tips about myself: Im pretty much into the stereotype of a geek guy. I usually like to read about History, Fantasy and Sci Fi literature. Also enjoy sculpting with red clay/mud or epoxi stuff, beside with collecting random Warhammer Fantasy/AoS/40k miniatures (althought I don´t paint a lot).

Despite being a bit overwight, I enjoy outdoor activities, despite being many times too lazy for real exercice or gym. But I love walking hills and mountains for hours, creating boundaries with nature. Being overimaginative, I enjoy picturing small worlds in my head while walking that solitary places.

I have to confess tht Im not a native english speaker, being my mother tongue, but rather spanish. I ask you for forgiveness and kindness with my poor grammar and vocabulary.

EDIT 21/10/2020:
People, I apologize for taking soo many hours for giving you a proper reply. I felt overall your warm welcome and genuine interest in what I said. I tried to give all you a response that that reflected my gratitude.
I have to leave home for some hours (safely of course). But will explore the forums when being back.

Cosmic Ape, welcome and your English is amazing and if you had not mentioned you are not English, I would have placed you as English, which shows how good you are, even if you used google spellcheck, because I found no errors.

If you are able to in your country, to get a diagnosis, it would be better for your peace of mind.

When I first came here, I was self diagnosied, with no hope of ever being formally diagnosed, and was very welcomed here to the extent, that I decided that it did not really matter to get a formal diagnosis, but when the chance came my way, a year and a bit ago, I decided to go for it and was amazed at the speed with which I was formally diagnosed as being on the spectrum. Since then, gradually it has proved to be worthwhile to be recognised as having aspergers.
 
Welcome to the forum, your English is very good, and we share some interests..... being creative and enjoying nature, feeling 'on the outside' can be a common theme for individuals that experience life differently i hope you enjoy your time here.
 
Welcome! Wandering in the outdoors is a great activity - both to see the sights, to recharge, and to get away from things (or to delve into deep thoughts)
 
Hi and welcome, yes I like to walk in nature, in the countryside or at the coast. I hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome Cosmic Ape.
I found your intro very nice and can relate to things in common.
Nature, sci-fi, fantasy, physics and creative with clay.
Clay feels so soothing and so does nature.

When I was younger and lived where there was a lot of woods, I liked creating little magical places
there, too.
Fairy Rings, following creeks with the feeling something was waiting just around the next bend
and listening to the sounds of it all. I became quite profecient at finding fossils, arrowheads
and special stones.

Hope you enjoy time with us here also.

Don´t worry, and belive me when I say that even in globalized era, getting used to a second lenguage is a whole challenge. And anyways, I understand you pretty well :).

Firstly, Im glad to meet people like you here. You seem to be a really wise person and having your positive feedback about my lenguage related level, lets me relax a lot. At least Im not going into a wrong path.
About getting a diagnosed, I have been told by specialist to show many asperger features since an early age. But I think that never have got an official diagnosis. I have to meditate such alternative, but at this point point of my life recognizing myself can be a first step to analize my choices in a better way.
Thank you!!
