Introduction I am an adult on the Autism Spectrum (5'9", 130lbs), living in Northwestern Massghanistan. I work full-time as a mail processor for a major off-price retail corporation. I share the rough edges and blessings of all those who live on the Spectrum. I make less eye contact than others, the affect of my body language and vocal tone is often lacking (making it hard for others to "read me"), and I tend to miss subtle social cues. Because I grew up in a broken home, I do suffer from issues of self-esteem and confidence, a mental prison which holds me back in both my professional and personal life. I am working to change this.

While inappropriately expressed in the past, my heart goes out to one woman in particular who is providing a conceptual framework for my social education and the animus to live life as much as possible. I appreciate you more deeply with each passing day...
Interests Reading and writing science fiction and fantasy, biking, hiking, beach combing, landscape photography, photo editing and graphic design, computer gaming, and spiritual truths.
