Hey I'm Jamie (male), 16 year old kid from Canada who's kinda concerned about the current state of the world and how it could easy collapse into chaos
even though nobody else is. Anyway. In addition to being a moderate Aspie (self-diagnosed), I'm left-handed, no hemispheric preference in brain, and perceive language in the right-hemisphere (most perceive in left-hemisphere, even lefties).
All my differences seem pretty positive when I look at it, but living in this mind is getting difficult. I'd rather be more neurotypical to be honest.
I've always been classified as different since I was little, but never have been diagnosed with anything. I was a shy kid and spaced out 24/7. I got into the gifted program at school back in grade 3 despite my poor grades, and at one point I was in the gifted and special-help programs at the same time!
I pretty much always sucked at math. That is, until grade 9. For some reason I went from getting below 80s to 99s in math; something just made sense and it became easy. Like learning how to program or learning a new language for the first time, it just clicks at some point.
Oh I have hyper-sensitive senses. I can see clearer, hear better, and taste more than most people. Is that an Asperger's trait? As a result, I can hear any slight out-of-tuneness, and am a picky eater. (cheese pizza plz)
I'm kinda a lonely kid, mostly because I don't know how friends work haha. I wish I could just avoid all social situations, but I push myself to learn. I want to be in control of myself.
I always have been curious and questioned things. Since I was 5 I would ask about life and death, stars, concept of time, dimensions, etc.
At the age of 12, I stopped really questioning reality as much because I felt I knew all there was to philosophy. To be honest, I may sound cocky but I feel I know the best answer to any philosophical question (that is, if I could just word it right).
I also have depersonalization disorder; I hope that will fix itself with time. Likely caused from anxiety and troubling existential thoughts. I have a busy schedule at school (taking university courses and grade up in many courses) which I did of my own will to challenge myself more, but it may have been too much.
Sorry, I wrote a lot because I rarely have ever said any of this to anyone except my parents, who don't take it too seriously (they're doctors, seems counter-intuitive). But I hope I can get support from this forum and learn a bunch of interesting stuff about this condition and variants of it.
PS: I hate the look of this post, too boring and gray looking. If I wrote this last year it would most likely look more like Black's: /threads/blackkitsune13-is-here.5643/
