Title: Say Hello to Compynerd255!
Post by: Compynerd255 on December 24, 2010, 12:03:41 am
Hi, I'm Compynerd255! (Please do not ask for my real name)

I am an avid programmer for many different platforms, including PC, XBox 360, and, of course, TI. I have had several years of experience in the field of programming, ever since I was 9 and my dad bought me a C# programming book. I have gone a long way, and I hope to always program in my life.

One thing you should also know about me is that I have autism, a brain condition that damages the parts of my brain that control communication. As such, that is not my strong point, and I'm not very good at recognizing the right thing to say or what other people are feeling. Fortunately, my mother is a social worker, and she was able to recognize my autism and get me on the right track. I have gone a long way since then, and hope to always improve.

Hello Omnimaga!

Welcome to Omnimaga!  Greetings from a fellow autistic person.  No joke.  If you have any projects that you plan on sharing, I look forward to seeing them!

So much for only 5 bags produced....:P

Welcome! And don't worry about the name thing. We only really talk about calculators around here :P And wow, I wish I had that many languages under my belt. I'm sure you'll fit right in with the rest of us.

Hello Omnimaga!

Hello!  I actually know a kid who's autistic, but I never knew until he told me, because he caught it early O.o now he's perfectly normal, and you seem to be too :)

Wow, that's a long time programming.  I think I started last year and went in a crash course from javascript to z80 assembly :P

Welcome here, and enjoy your stay!

Thank you so much for the peanuts. You have some creative skills. I wish I had a sack of peanuts to contribute.

the peanuts are an old meme. :P

We always love to see new members.


Are you an axe programmer, ti-basic programmer, or asm programmer?  (for calc.)

If you have a project (graphmastur=tao project) or something you are known by (Netham45=blue lobster with pink name, hence the blue lobster peanuts) then you can make your own bag of peanuts. It's not really an official rule or anything, but there is about 15 of them.

What is your real name? ???

J/k welcome on the forums. I saw your ticalc.org profile and you seemed to be interested with Axe. I wondered if you would join one of the forums eventually to share your new ones. :D

As for autism some family members does have the asperget syndrome form of it. I wouldn't be surprised if I actually had it to a minimal level, too, since I have troubles communicating with other people sometimes.

Actually, everyone has autism to some degree. It's just that people who are labeled as autistic are more autistic than the rest of the world.

I'm mainly an Axe programmer. I used to do TI-Basic until Axe came out and I saw what awesome power it had. However, I still write in TI-Basic when I'm writing math programs. As for ASM, that's pretty much out of the question. I don't have the time or inclination to learn it.

Yeah DJ I noticed many good axe programmers on ticalc that have yet to join a forum.

Yeah I think it depends to which degree someone can be autistic. I probably have it more than a lot of other people, but still not enough to have it diagnosticed
