All my 15 years on this planet, I've been a loner. I play video games all day, and now thanks to that, I don't get outside! I haven't been to school since last year! I don't know when I'm going back, but it better be soon. I never go out anywhere by myself, as I'm afraid of people. I go places with my mum, but because of my short temper, I always embarass her. Is there something I can do? I mean, where can I go to meet people? I need friends as I'm sick of playing video games all day and sitting in front of the computer. Oh, and I need the fresh air...
I am a little jealous of you. I am 46 and I only discovered that I have AS a couple of years ago. I spent decades trying to fit in and act like a human and it all ended in tears. I have been doing things because that is what humans are supposed to do ( like going to parties, trying to make friends with the humans, etc. ).
Now, since I realize I will never fit in with the humans I am much happier ( still dead inside, but at least not miserable ). They are not really interested in what I have to say because I talk differently then they do. Instead of trying to please them, I concentrate on what pleases me.
And you know what? I think I might have made friends with one of the humans by accident. I just kept my mouth shut and listened to him. Now, he keeps coming over to me to share things about himself. It is cool, since he is a sich[sp] from India.
