I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was sixteen. It's taken me several years to develop enough self-awareness to acknowledge and accept the fact that it has impacted and will always impact my interactions with other people, and to realize that it's pointless to try and fight it. While I have managed, with lots of observation and practice from an analytic perspective, to read signals and body language and even to put it into practice myself, I am getting to the point of realizing that it's just who I am and that it doesn't have to put a damper on my mental well-being. Realizing that I am uncomfortable with physical contact and that I don't like the emotional attachment that comes with dating and sex has also been quite liberating--and those tendencies are only increasing as I get older. 
I have a fascination with and love for hi-fi equipment, and even though my limited income doesn't allow me to pursue it often, I read audiophile magazines like others read car magazines, and every now and then I find myself criticizing others' headphones and spouting off about how much I love my own. Making music is also a hobby of mine, and I like to add a little spice to jam sessions by breaking out my recorders.
I have three dogs I could never live without and with whom I empathize far more than I can with humans.
So...um...hi!
