Introduce yourself (part one)

Jim V - mod

Hi everyone,

We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.

You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello Smile

Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.

And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.

    Oh boy, this is going to be fun. 

    Back in 2004, I thought I was a normal 41 year old with poorly paid jobs, good looks and huge amounts of positive energy.  Then fate interviened - in a cinema to be precise - and I was diagnosed with Aspergers.  Surely this goes to demonstrate the terrible effect films can have on the mind.

    I joined the Autistic underground at the end of that year, and met my Wife in the Autism London social group.  We married in 2007.  Same age as me.  I've worked for the Nas since the start of 2006. which they describe as an experience, an honour and a priviledge.  Good good.

    I have held various roles in The Great Dame, which I could list but you'd think I had the spectacular egocentricism typical of my condition.  Whether or not I do is irrelevant to me, which is all that counts.  I hope to start training a London borough's representatives this year, in what Autism is.  So the good looks will come in handy.  Neurotypicals, so easy to manipulate. 

    My new website is here:  http://modelaircraftmuseum.webs.com/

    I look forward to dialoguing with everyone, and proving that I am more than merely physically attractive.  Please try not to comment how right I am about everything.  It has become so embarressing lately.

    Thanks, Paul.
