Better late than never?

[LyricalMuse]

Hello! I received my Asperger's diagnosis rather late in life -- after having known I was on the spectrum for many years due to all the research I did when I my son was diagnosed in the second grade. I was reading books and web pages devoted to Asperger's and thought to myself, "Hey... this sounds terribly familiar."

I'm into music, theoretical physics, psychology, poetry... and more.

Due to a few rough years, I'm currently dealing with PTSD and an anxiety disorder. Fun times!

I'm not sure what else you'd want to know about me. I'm open to questions! I'm looking forward to getting to know you... but it might take me a little while to feel comfortable. I'm sure a lot of you can relate.

Hi welcome to the forum, I sometimes write poetry and I've always been interested in psychology for some reason.

Hi, Paige! It's nice to meet you. Thanks for the welcome!

I think the interest in psychology, which began around age eight, was because I've always known I was different. To a certain extent, it helped to explain some of the reasons people behave in the ways they do.

As for poetry, I love word-play, using metaphors and double-entendres. Also, when I'm feeling too overwhelmed to write a long explanation, a short poem is like a compressed file.

Aha I'm quite good at using metaphors, I think like phycology cause I like to know how people's brains work differently to mine. What kind poetry do you like to write anyway?

Hmmm... I just kind of let the poetry dictate the style. I really despise restricting myself in order to write in any particular form. I suppose I write freestyle and prose. You can see some examples on my blog if you're interested. Art & Poetry | The Autistic Feline Owner's Manual Or... perhaps you were asking about the themes?

What about you? What kind of poetry do you write?

Welcome

I also have an interest in psychology, though I got in to it a bit later in life. My first passion is more art related. Theoretical physics sounds pretty cool; you must be quite bright then. I've always wished I had the math skills to understand it, as it seems a rather interesting field.

Hi I normally write sad poetry based on past experiences.

I'm also into poetry! I typically write poems about nature and encouraging/life is good poems. Oh yeah, welcome to the central!
