Hi there community! My name is Dave. Currently hailing from the front range in Colorado, I moved out here after 5 years with a Chicago non-profit - half as executive director - following a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome (four years after being diagnosed with ADHD-I). That was three years ago. Much has happened in the interim, but long story short, I mercilessly began studying what we call AS & anything related I could find. After a particularly brutal first-time experience with hardcore passive-aggressivism (always two sides to every situation, but it doesn't work well when no one will talk about it :P), I became extremely isolated, & have been now for about a year. I'm in my second attempt to return to school via a great community college, but unfortunately the same difficulties as last term are getting in the way.
BUT, that's a different story! I've had this site recommended to me a few times now because over the course of my isolation I've become completely preoccupied with all sorts of fun mental projects, ranging in topics from physics to consciousness to quantum mechanics to dance. My current big projects (I bounce around a loooooot) are creating a linear model for the evolution of cognitive development & showing in some way why I'm not sure i agree that time is the fourth dimension. Oh, also trying to develop a structure for understanding :)
After looking through a few of the welcome threads here, I'm excited to be here! Now all I have to do is keep consistent...
