INtroduction to AspieXLDS

Hello, all, I'm AspieXLDS. I've recently come to realize that I am a bisexual, but due to my upbringing, I am likely to be more apt to accept companionship over a sexual relationship. The thing I know for sure is I find both men and women attractive, and that's the only reason I know I'm bisexual instead of asexual.

Hmm, what to say about myself? Well, I'm a writer, I am a former Mormon and have Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism (thus the story behind my screen-name), and only a few people in my family know about me. My father is one of those people who hates the LGBT community, and I've had to repress my very nature in order to be considered the 'good son'. Its taken its toll, and continues to do so as if he were to ever learn about my bi-sexuality, he'd probably throw one of his tantrums and toss me out in the street.

I'm currently working through the elements that I think a lot of former Mormon members of the LGBT community (and even current Mormons of the community) would find to be a difficult transition: the idea that my sexuality is not, in fact, an abomination before god or a perversion of the natural order, but a part of it.

I don't know how often I'll be in the forums, as there is a local support group and I like talking to people face-to-face. But I'll come around from time to time to catch up on news.

Anyways, that's really all I can think of in terms of an introduction to me without writing out any of the stuff that we''re asked not to for security purposes. Ciao.
