Hello everyone!
I was diagnosed with Aspergers in childhood, but I grew up in a family where mental illness was weakness. Some recent events led to me to therapy. Twice, actually: psychiatric hospitals and two different in-residence programs, and there I acknowledged my ASD and a bunch of other three/four letter acronyms too. And I now have pills that seem to help! I am slowly learning to accept things and march to the beat of my own kazoo.
Anyway, I am in the military (14+ years), and I am currently changing careers. I like outdoors things! Traditional archery, paintball, fly fishing, backpacking, shooting sports (IDPA, USPSA, etc), and mountain biking. I am fascinated with fountain pens, ink, watercolor and ink drawing, machining (metal working), and mechanical devices.
I have a lot of questions and am looking forward to learning from you all!
