I'll start us off. I have Protanopia. That is a severe type of color blindness that occurs in only 1% of males.

"Protanopia is a severe type of color vision deficiency caused by the complete absence of red retinal photoreceptors. It is a form of dichromatism in which red appears black. It is hereditary, sex-linked, and present in 1% of males."

What the rainbow looks like for me

What a color spectrum looks like for me

People in real life don't know that I have Asperger's syndrome... for the most part.

I have a strange color blindness. Shades are none existent for me. So, similar colors blend together.

So, essentially, if you were to take the color blue and put it up against the color purple I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The same goes with yellow and green aswell as orange and yellow. I just can't tell the difference.

If I look very closely and focus for a few seconds I can sometimes see the difference...but I'm still color blind.


It's dangerous on the road...because there are flashing yellow lights indicating an area to caution. There's also flashing RED lights indicating a 4-way stop. I can't tell the difference. The tint of yellow they use looks orangish, and my mind thinks it's too dark to be yellow. So...I think it's red.

I am 85% deaf in my left ear. It is something that I was just born with. I don't have most of the hairs that pick up the "sound waves" or the vibrations that sounds, well, are. Most of my friends in real life know, but I don't think any of you guys know. Like Delusional, it is dangerous in alot of situations, including the road, because I can barely hear to my left side, or have a good sense of directions of sound. There is nothing currently available that could fix it. I remember when I was younger, there was testing done on pigs with the same thing. My parents are afraid it could affect my life, so she was hoping we could fix it by college. I want it to be fixed soon, because I want to join the army when I turn 18, and am afraid I won't be allowed in because of it.

Sorry for all that, just thought I would tell you things you didn't know

-My style of dress is heavily affected by my favorite video game characters.
-I secretly want to shout "OBJECTION!" whenever I disagree with someone.
-My left side is broken(broken leg, hand, shoulder, knee, ankle) but my right side is relatively unbroken.
-I am part Alaska Native and am not bothered by racist comments about my heritage--- they're usually accurate.

I am left-handed, dyslexic, an artist, and I think the cutest things in the world are old people and babies. C:

\o/ yaay!

I think I probably have Asperger's syndrome too. The reason is because I could relate to everything Deth said on his article, and I've tried online tests on the official websites and got positive results. I know online tests aren't trustworthy, but I've had these social problems since I was a small child. People mostly don't know these problems that I have, like I'd rather be alone on my computer or in my garage working with electronics than to go to a party or meet friends. They might think I don't like them. It's a problem that is getting in my way. I do have a girlfriend and we've been together for 3 months, she understands me and has the best personallity, but I feel like I'm not spending that much time with her... She doesn't mind that, but it's just that I think It's not okay..

I think I need help..

This group is like a home to me, really. I spend more time with you guys than with my family currently, that's a bad thing, but it's like I belong here.

I'm an insanely huge analyst on everything.
I'm right handed, but can use my left hand just as fine. (Something like...40% Ambidextrous?)
My style of clothing resembles my taste in music
I have very liberal views
I believe in the teachings of the Buddha
I'm very open minded to opinions, and other ways of viewing things. I put myself in their shoes and view their opinions from their point of view. Which is something most people can NOT do.

I suffer from extreme social anxiety and personality disorder. However, I tend to keep a positive mind when dealing with my personality disorder. So my sense of humor pretty much absorbs it.

I am a computer technician currently employed as a payed apprentiship learning how to be a server/network technician.
My left eye and right ear are pretty much garbage. Can barely hear out of my right ear, and can barely see out of my left eye.

well lets see... i have ADD im working to become an engineer whether i am going to become a mechanical or computer/electrical engineer is still in the air i have the worst diet of anybody i know and regularly forget to eat or am just feeling too indifferent to get food but when i do eat i can usually eat more than your average family of four my brain cant seem to decide whether i have insomnia or narcolepsy i have no sense of fashion i just wear jeans and a shirt every day oh and i barely listen to music at all though when i do i either listen to rock or country... well thats all i can think of for now though some of that some of you might have already known

Im going to go deep here.

I get bullied in school, im semi-depressed, and my parents are divorced.
