Hello from the Netherlands
July 27, 2015 at 10:54 am (This post was last modified: July 27, 2015 at 11:08 am by Gryffix.)
Hey everyone, 

My name is Gryffix and I am a woman from the Netherlands. I was born on the 5th of april in 1996 and am currently 19 years old. I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is a mild form of autism. I'm a history student and a science nerd. I absolutely love reading and playing video games, which is what keeps me busy during the day. There isn't really much to tell about me; I guess you could say I identify as a socialist (for American standards) and center-left (for European standards). I also identify as a secular humanist.

As an atheist, I am active on both Twitter and YouTube. I have about 1000 followers on Twitter as I write this, and uploaded my first YT video about 3 days ago. I would post links, but new members can't do that (just found out about this)

Have a nice day, everyone!

Yeah, you're links will be taken down, forum policy and all.

Welcome anyway!

Welcome dutch mildly autistic lady.
Enjoy this fine corner of the web - it is a haven for "people like you" Tongue

(excuse my pushing your buttons)

This guy is writing from Portugal, equally socialist views, but with a poorer outlook; and I have no idea if I have any such psych disorder, however mild... Maybe... Undecided

Hello there, nice to meet you Smile

We have had another atheist with Aspergers sign up recently! I have a friend that has it, so I'm somewhat familiar.

You sound like my kind of person! I'm an avid gamer too, and secular humanist would best describe me. I want a term that includes animals along with humans. A lifeist, maybe?

Welcome aboard!

I totally read the title of this thread as "Hello from the Neanderthals!" and was like "That's so cool!!" Big Grin

Welcome! Smile

Actually, the Neandertal is but an hour's drive east from here :-)
My father in law grew up there...
