I'm looking for a new way to meet and talk to people besides facebook. I went to the University of Iowa for two years in a program called Reach. Which stands for Realizing Educational and Career Hopes. I'm looking forward to chatting with more people in Reach or that are in Reach. I liked making new friends when I went off to college. Now I would like to keep making more friends with Autism.

Hello, All! I'm Christi and my oldest son is an Aspie. I'm not new to living with Asperger's (he's almost 11), but could use some additional support (and friends) as we head into the teen years! We homeschool, so we don't have to put up with that added stress, at least! Mostly looking to find friends and good advice to help him through puberty and the teen years. As a neurotypical, I've often gotten frustrated trying to understand the world as he sees it and now am at a loss for how to help him survive adolescence.

If I might suggest my blog. found HERE... I write a series called "The Care and Feeding of Your Aspie" that I believe might be of use.

Recently I started a blog about my adventures in NT world. http://asadventuresnt.blogspot.com/
Because surviving as an undiagnosed 25 year old Aspie in the world full of NTs is definitely an everyday adventure. :wink:

Um... I'm Giddie. And I think my stuff might not fit here but I don't really know where else to turn because I'm starting to feel more alone day by day...

I'm 30 years old and terminally ill with a degenerative form of epilepsy.
It really mostly effects and is destroying the left side of my brain.
The right side hyper-compensated for that and resulted in some artistic skills.
I can't afford testing for autism spectrum but a doctor in the past confirmed without formally diagnosing me that I am high functioning, similar to aspurgers but different because of mood disorders that I also have. Its like I feel everything a trillion times more than I should and I have no filter and have trouble understanding what people mean... like I take things kind of literally and then my sense of humor is really... awkward and most times very inappropriate and I don't ever mean to be...
I'm transgender FtM but cannot medically transition due to my illness.
It feels like every time I try to talk to someone about what is going on in my head I get the brush off and then they drop me like a potato on fire. I'm not a bad guy, just really lost.
I did research into Caetextia and it mostly explains what I feel is going on in my head but at the same time my processing just goes wonky and I get scared and overthink a million times more than I should.
Um...
hi. :oops:
Oh and also I make awesome chocolate cake.

No Autism, they aren't sure what I have. some kind of "spectrum disorder". In any case, i suffer from extreme anxiety, i can't learn things the way most people can and as a result im completely ineffective in school and environments. I don't really talk to people because I find most of them ( more so people my own age) to be either completely uninteresting, or just plain stupid. I can never find anyone to have an intelligent conversation with. I'm terrible in social situations, and my interests and mannerisms are so far from everyone around me that in a way i have been left with no option to sit in my room and keep to myself.
I attend online school because being in a real school was grinding me down to my last nerve. I don't do much, i have trust issues with people for various reasons, and i tend to creep people out :p but i figured I would do what my therapist said to do, and look for more people who have similar issues to mine. Found this place, thought i would try it out because the extent of my social contact with people is nonexistent. So i hope ill be able to finally find some peace, and maybe find someone who has at least something in common with me. :?

Hey everybody, new member here. I'm a 22-year-old guy from northern Europe (so English isn't my first language). I haven't been diagnosed with autism or AS, but my psychologist thinks I might have AS, and I think so as well. In addition to possible Asperger's, I've had diabetes since I was 3, but even in 19 years I've yet to learn how to treat this disease or keep myself from dying of it. Also, I have severe depression, I think I have been depressed for the past 6 years or so, but I got diagnosed and medications and stuff only a few years ago.

I've always been some sort of a loner, so I have developed an interest in books and music, poetry and languages. I occasionally make my own music, some sort of angsty black metal, or maybe even depressive metal. Gloomy stuff anyway, so it's not for everybody.

I also have a tumblr, but I usually just use it to vent and say everything I can't say to anyone, so it might be a bit triggering, especially if you suffer from depression or anxiety.

Apparently I can't put urls in my first post, so take this as just a "hello world" type of a post.

That's pretty much it, I guess.

Would it be a good idea to start a blog about my struggles with autism? I am dealing with my autism and generally want to improve myself. I have a lot to tell about my past and my experiences with school and NT people. I always wanted to write a book about it, that's why I am not sure to start a blog. I am afraid when I start a blog a book is not possible anymore, is that just me thinging crazy? What do you guys think? Would anyone be intereseted to read it?

I'm "Kiwiwriter," and I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 1999. I'm 51 years old, married, live in Newark, NJ, with my wife of 19.5 years and daughter of 17.5.

My wife is an unrecognized genius and my daughter is a recognized genius...she's off to college in Maine in two weeks, with a fistful of awards, intending to do either orthodontia or computers, 11th in her class at Newark's top science high school. Prior to marrying my wife, my life was pretty much a rolling disaster because of Asperger's, and I've still had many disasters since then. The last year of my life has been a major nightmare for reasons I'd rather keep private.

My day job for the past 16 years has been writing press releases for the City of Newark. I'm on my fourth mayor. Despite having an MFA in Creative Writing from the New School for Social Research, I earn less than first-year administrative assistants...I haven't had a raise in 11 years.

My interests are baseball (Yankees and Giants), history (mostly WW2), and writing (I do articles on WW2 history and am doing an e-book on the subject). My memoir on surviving Asperger's was shot down by the publishing industry.

It has been a hard life and I have caused little in it but chaos for the people I love and received in return a great deal of condemnation and ridicule, some of it justified, some of it not. The definitive judgment of me was rendered by my father many years ago, when he was flogging me at my mother's behest (she was a borderline narcissist with more issues than Time magazine). He said, "If you continue on this course, one very cold morning you will wake up and realize nobody in the entire world gives a damn whether you live or die." I often feel that's how my life turned out. It is ironic that my father was often my biggest cheerleader.

My wife is not a big fan of me being on internet forums because I often wind up getting into flame wars with people, so I doubt I will be here very often. However, enduring Asperger's is one thing I can talk about (Opening my mouth has often got me in trouble or resulted in ridicule, as I say), so I may turn up occasionally.

The only other thing I can say is that I learned my writing from Frank McCourt (my teacher in high school), Walter Lord (the author), my instructors at my MFA program, and Roger Clemens, when he pitched for the Yankees. I learned my professionalism and work ethic from Ron Guidry and Mariano Rivera, and I guess I got my furious temper and relentlessness from Paul O'Neill and Will Clark.

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to Wrong Planet and I came here so I could interact with others who share my problems and know what it's like to struggle with Autism and Asperger's. I've always had a hard time making friends and because of this I feel alone a lot and just wish I could have one friend out there in the world. I'd really like to meet as many people as I can here so going to give it my all to make friends and help myself and others get through this tough situation we all live with.
