Hi Everyone

I joined at the start of this year but never introduced myself.

I'm 26 years old and was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome last year (just before my 26th birthday).

I have a medical degree and postgraduate toxicology qualifications.  Eventually I would like to be a combined clinical pharmacologist/toxicologist with some forensic toxicology on the side.

My special interests are pharmacology/toxicology (particularly pharmacokinetics), Rubik's cubes (I have an entire book dedicated to my passion for the cube), creationism (although I tend to be fairly quiet about this interest as some people get quite heated in discussions regarding creation vs evolution), Star Trek (to a lesser degree than the others), and most recently GFCF (gluten free/casein free/yeast free) cooking/baking!

I am currently studying 2 Masters simulateously while doing voluntary research in clinical pharmacology.  One of my Masters is in disability studies and I will be doing a dissertation that looks at the experience of depression amongst women with autism spectrum disorders (and how women on the spectrum come to the attention of health services).

Hi Ladies

I made my first tart tonight. I decided passionfruit would be a good flavour to start with as my housemate (member "Stargate") is a fan of this very seedy fruit.

Ingredients:

Pastry:

1 cup plain GF flour

1 cup almond meal

2 desertspoons castor sugar

100g GFCF margarine (I used nutelex lite)

Filling:

3 by 170g tins passionfruit pulp

1 cup castor sugar

3 tablespoons gelatine

Instructions:

- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius

- Place all pastry mix ingredients into large mixing bowl.

- Using fingers mash them together until you have a smooth even mixture that is slightly crumbly.

- Place mixture between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll flat (bigger than the round tart tin you plan to use to make the tart)

- Spray the tart tin down with canola oil

- Invert tin over pastry and cut around tin in a circle

- Flip tin over with pastry inside.

- Pat pastry down to base of tin and around sides

- Use excess pastry cut from around tin to fill in on the sides of the tin where the mixture falls short of reaching the edges.

Ingredients:

2 cups self raising GF flour

1 desert spoon GF baking powder

2/3 cup castor sugar

1 desert spoon orange essence

1 desert spoon coconut essence

2 eggs

1 cup GF soy milk

6 desert spoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius

Place muffin patties in muffin tin

Mix all ingredients into a smooth mixture

Fill each patty to about 3/4 full

Bake in over for 15-20 minutes

Remove and enjoy!

For an extra treat - drop 1 teasoon of blackberry jam into the centre of each mufin patties after filling 3/4 the way with mixture.  Bake the same way for a nice jam filled treat!
