I have one friend who is OCD, one who has anxiety, one who's paranoid schizophrenic, and one who has epilepsy. They're a fun bunch to be with. :D

I have a great deal of friends. My best friend is an Aspie and has a great interest in pinball machines and guitar hero. My other best friend can draw cartoons and has a childish sense of humor. I've even made friends with a couple of girls who have a talent in music, art, and so on. The great thing about them is that we always encourage each other whenever were in trouble or if we need help in certain situations (Ex. Dating and trying to impress a girl). Besides asking for help, we tend to joke around with each other just for a good laugh.

My bf thinks he might have AS and has dealt with OCD/anxiety/depression for years.

One of my friends in high school had bipolar disorder (though you'd almost never know it).

My friend since the third grade has dealt with a whole host of problems, including symptoms of bipolar disorder and some "psychotic" symptoms (although, IMO, he was given the wrong combination of meds).

My other friends now are mainly from work and seem pretty "normal," though we don't socialize much outside of work--no one has any time to do so. :roll:

I think I can get along with pretty much anyone...as long as they're not a total a**hole.

Out of every friend I have, there's only one I suspect of having AS, and he broke the Aspie Quiz. Most of everyone I've made friends with is a fellow geek and/or nerd.

*gasp* Confession here (it's our little secret): I am attracted to Neurotypicals. Honestly, for a partner, I like NT men who are older, intelligent/educated, and paternal. I am nervous around risk-takers and look for security.

I am attracted to what others might not ever guess - one man who I really liked, as a friend, was a priest. And vice-versa.

Within one week I am relocating, permanently. Did you all notice my new locale? I plan on making a new friend(s) although I am shy. Aspies can have friends. I have plenty of Wrong Planet friends, although I've never met you all in person. I think you all are my bf.

All of my friends are NTs, but they're not 'stereotypical NTs'.
