Ontario peeps?

Well, I'm Curtis. Bit of a hardcore Aspie - I pretty much suffer most of the typical symptoms at extreme levels. At the same time I'm kinda proud to be an Aspie. I know most people on here think of Asperger's as some kind of restraining condition that needs to be overcome. Personally I think being an Aspie simply makes me incredibly unique. I was diagnosed with an IQ of 125 (95th percentile) and I barely try and still manage to do 1st year Honours Math without sweating. So I think that AS is not a curse, it is something of a segregation performed by nature. I've learned to deal with, overcome, or tolerate everything that makes me different in uncomfortable ways. Wouldn't mind making some local Aspie friends so we could hang out. The founder of the WLU Go Club is an Aspie like me (I sometimes coach him on Go strategies and such) so we're able to talk about a lot of things face to face rather than this bland internet approach. Not that I dislike the internet (I kinda need it to meet non-local Aspies) but there is just something so much cooler about collecting together and forming a 'team' =)

Welcome Krazie243, welcome to Aspergic forums.

It seems like you already seemed to got the hang of the forums already.
Enjoy your time here and happy posting.

Jared: Have you been officially diagnosed with IQ 139 or did you take an online test?


Superboyian: Thanks. I have done internet tech support for Worldline.ca (Bell internet reseller) and console tech support for Xbox 360 so I've got some practice navigating forums for loads of stuff. Gotta say though, this forum is really frustrating. I can only track the latest 5 threads that I've posted in. I typically post in more threads than that so I've had to resort to making full use of the "View New Content" link that shows people all the newest posts. Still, I try to bookmark the threads I've been in so I can review them just in case. =)

I actually find that part pretty frustrating at times but very useful, but I actually never thought of bookmarking the page, definitely a very good idea.
But me, I check all the boards in general and I have to incase I have to edit or close a thread when it goes out of hand.

No... Moderators don't get paid for this.

Aw you unlucky guy.
By the way, how do I get a neat picture like yours? I know how to add it to my signature, I just don't know: do I upload it myself or is there a link?

You can upload it on your profile settings, just upload any picture of your choice and it will resize for you but it has to be .jpg .jpeg .gif and .png - easy really.

The pic inserter keeps asking me for a URL. Where do I go to upload an image on here aside from my avatar and profile pic?
