So, I was diagnosed with Aspergers a couple weeks ago. I'm 45. I've known I was a bit "special" for a while ... and now I have an official opinion. I think I saw a statistic that only 1 in a 1000 people have it, though I suspect it's actually much more common.
For those who haven't seen Parenthood, Aspergers is basically a really good excuse for acting like an inconsiderate a-hole most of the time. But, those affected are usually quite talented within their targeted obsession area. We tend to withdraw from social groups and into our own routines, and there are all varying levels of severity depending upon how successful the person is at coping with the anxieties that they feel - which are usually centered around social confrontation. The internet makes it way easier to be completely alone and still somewhat social. It's definitely helped me through the years.
Once an Aspergers person comes to the realization that this REALLY IS what is happening to them, then they can start to work through the anxiety triggers and really understand themselves a lot better. Just knowing what is happening is a tremendous weight off the shoulders.
Well, I guess it was my turn to share.
What's happening with everyone else who's still hanging around and checking here for updates?

Looks kinda like you're holding a glowing orb of light over Joe's (yours?) guitar.
Magical powers = impressive. :)

xrob that is my guitar that Joe signed and I'm holding my 2nd place poster that he added "Thanks Greg" to above the signature. I was REALLY happy to get Marco & Mike & Bryan to sign it also after the show, now I can get it framed! What a night!!

Wow. I looked for this the other day after not having searched for years and thought how facebook, twitter, etc... have taken over and it was a cool time to read the stuff on this and how fun it was back in the 90's for Joe Satriani to have this. I only got to this a few moments ago looking for satrianiforum dot com on google and I'm even amazed I'm logged in! So for anyone else that stumbles on this, remember how excited we were when Live in San Francisco came out? or Strange Beautiful Music? I'm going to check facebook for 2018 lol

Incredible 3 hours show last night in Barcelona
Thank you so much Joe!
I met him and asked to tell us (Club Joe group) about his memories when he was taking music classes from Lennie Tristano, and specially from Billy Bauer, both jazz musicians, and guitarist this last one.
He seemed to like the question cause he said it was the first time someone has ever asked that. I blushed because I was flattered he said so.
I hope Joe someday reads this and remembers about it
