Yellow Belt
My name is khuang85 or Kent and I've been taking Tang Soo Do for the last year and a half. I originally took it for two years while in high school and then quit for several years. I came back to Tang Soo Do last January after eight years and choose to start from a white belt again so I can get back up to being a first gup red belt with two stripes. I am almost back to where I was years ago.I am usually a very patient and tolerant person to deal with. I try not to be bothered by small things that happen but have no problem speaking my mind when I feel necessary. My long term goal is to go back to school to get a BA in business, become a certified instructor and a black belt, and run my own school. Business I believe is in my blood as my dad runs a successful small auto repair shop where I help out a couple times a week. I LOVE music and video games and when I have free time, I can be seen listening to my iPod or playing my DSi. I am very serious whenever I am training and always keep an open mind because you never can be sure what will happen in life.That aside there is also a part of me not many know about since I don't talk about unless I feel it is appropriate to mention. I have Asperger's Disorder which is on the high end of the autism spectrum. My case isn't bad like others with the disorder but I DO have a few quirks such as hating loud noises especially popping balloons. It bothers me but I never have an episode whenever one pops near me. I just cringe. I also have depression and was picked on in high school. I enjoy educating people on both of my conditions and believe not too many people outside the mental health system that have no problems understand what people like me go through. I live a fairly normal life and am VERY stable in terms of my diagnosis and behavior. People like me are NOT crazy axe wielding murderers as the media sometimes portrays us as and am perfectly capable of living relatively otherwise normal lives. Looking at me and you can't even tell that I have mental health issues!What I WILL not tolerate are when I feel people are heavily criticizing me negatively and if someone has their rights violated. I believe we as a society should be accepting of one another, short comings and all. I mean we all ARE human after all and no one should EVER be treated any differently.Other than that I am a free thinking individual that does not like to be held down by any labels and tend to do things the way I see fit within reason.
I wish you well with your goals and hope you post some more. And I think you spend time educating yourself regarding which new techniques you can use to counter your Aspergers symptoms and do not worry over what other people think or believe.. as long as you are comfortable with yourself then what they think that is for them to worry over
