That's an interesting choice to not give personal information. Do you find that people tend to jump to conclusions about you? Do you usually tell them that you aren't giving them that information?
I don't really know how to deal with multiple replies without making six different comments and clogging the thread, so I'm responding to everyone upthread of me in reverse order.
Nancy: I lurk on a lot more sites than I comment, so I don't really have the experience to answer those questions. This is the first site I've joined where people give away as much info as they do.
Jack: I'm sorry you're discriminated against and I'll try not to do it. Also, like I said, I rarely get on forums, so I didn't know about the "don't think of a pink elephant effect". I'm glad you pointed it out.
Carinthium: I'm happy with my Asperger's; I wouldn't give up the good parts to get rid of the bad parts. I've never encountered discrimination on that score, so it didn't really occur to me. Besides, it's the sort of thing that will probably be visible in my comments.
Shokwave: Thanks for the reassurance. I do find the conversation here unique, in content and in tone.
Alicorn: I like e for the subject case, en for the object, and es for possessive, but I don't use them in meatspace or other forums as much as in my thoughts because it confuses people. I'll probably use them here. What do you think?
I'll use those pronouns for you if you prefer them. When I'm picking gender-neutral pronouns on my own I usually use some combination of Spivak and singular "they".
