I was diagnosed at a young age, I'd have to ask my parents exactly when. They sacrificed so much of their time and effort into finding me experts that would poke and prod, prescribe pills, and I'd be constantly going to the doctor and talking about how it is helping me. My parents told a more detailed story, and I really owe everything I have to their dedication. My brother and countless other people have shaped who I am today. I feel like I've come very far in life due to all the people that have helped me along the way, I've have had ups and downs. I am in a good place now, and discovering myself more every day.
Recently I faced a lot of changes in my life. First I had discovered Marijuana in college, and also went through a hard transition of panic attacks due to stimulants I had up to this point been treating Aspergers. Somewhere in college I also decided to leave my first ex, as I simply grew out of her and her goals in life. I was single for a while, but shortly hooked up with a friend... who then convinced me I do not have Aspergers, ADHD, ADD, and OCD... and that I should stop taking pills. She also abused me, and to this day I am still unsure if she was just a bad person, or if she simply couldn't handle the Aspergers. Sadly love is blind, and I was very upset with my family and doctors for a misdiagnosis... to think I was convinced? Fortunately she was right about the pills (adderal, abilify, clonidin).. I did not like how the pills make me feel... especially after an anxiety attack where I had called emergency services.
I've recently begun in a new relationship, and my life has been rapidly changing for the better ever since. I've been reconnecting with my family, rediscovering who I am, and most importantly reflecting on my experiences in life.
I've gone from a recreational consumer to being officially prescribed Medicinal Marijuana. I am open to discussion about this, as long as it is friendly, please feel free to ask me about this subject.
I am also on a spiritual journey, trying to make sense of this silly world. For example: one common question that has plagued me is how anyone invests in war, knowing that this is in the business of killing the life it touches. We all belong to the same planet, and all life should be sacred.
When I am not working or hanging out with my friends I usually am listening to music or playing video games.
I like most music, my favorite bands are: Oka, Metallica, Death Cab For Cutie, Joe Satriani, Neil Young, Pantera, The Kooks, The Glitch Mob, Eminem, Rachminoff, Trance In Motion (This is a compilation site), Pendulum, Bob Marley, Chopin, Coldplay, Default, Disturbed, Dropkick Murpheys, Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, Opeth, Patrick Watson, Porter Robinson, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, Rage Against The Machine, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob Zombie, Skrillex, Sonata Arctica, The New Pornographers, The Offspring, Thornley, Thousand Foot Krutch, Tool, Weezer, Aeoliah, Apocalyptica, Arctic Monkeys, Ash Daragan, Audioslave, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Five Finger Death Punch, Jethro Tull, One Day as a Lion, Rush.
I've stumbled upon this forum while becoming more aware of how Aspergers plays a role in my life, and I happy to be part of a community I belong to.
Thank you for your time <3
