Hello.

I'm Louis, a 24 year old black male who lives in Michigan, USA. After wondering what was wrong with me for most of my life, I was finally diagnosed with mild aspergers several months ago.

My interest include reading, computers, videogames, and nature walks. I have no interest in things like sports and politics. I'm also a Christian.

I have little to no social skills. I blame this on growing up in a bad neighborhood where everyone is trying to kill eachother. I've always isolated myself while everyone else, including my older brother, sister, and cousins, became a product of their enviroment. I was always different and because of that, I was singled out a lot in school.

Hopefully, in the future, I can find better opportunities to meet other people, people with actual character. Maybe being diagnosed with aspergers is the first step to that.

My name is none of thy concern unless you wish to know. My name is Caleb. My biological father died this past November 15th. You can search him up on criminal records: Barry Blair Flegal. I've never met my biologiccal mother within the time of my concsious being. I am adopted by my biological aunt. My father and his before and so on have been alcoholics, so I do not drink alcoholic beverages. I am fourteen years-old. I love fishing in a sense other than romantic, and I tie flies for my own use in fly fishing. I have never been in a relationship, although i wish to be. I am NOT homosexual, regardless of what the pricks I left at Etowah may say. I personally am a Born-Again Christian. I live in Woodstock, GA but I was born in Odesa, TX. I "play" guitar, write songs(guitar music and lyrics), and I've been in a band and am currently in the process of starting another.

My name is Brynne and I am twenty-four years old. I was considered 'gifted' and tested for autism as a child but was told that my verbal skills were too advanced for diagnosis. It's now fairly apparent to everyone that knows me that I am some form of AS/HFA, and I'm hoping to start the path to diagnosis this coming week.

I am tall, lanky, androgynous, and of the gay persuasion; I prefer not to call myself a lesbian because that implies that my gender identity is aligned with my biological sex, which it is typically not (gender fluidity.) My eyes are brown, as is my natural hair color (which is currently 3/4 natural with some copper tones added by yours truly.)

I have a cat that I adore very much; his name is Oren and he is like a son to me. He is an indoor cat, but we go on nature walks in the backyard when he chooses to wear his harness. I have three friends - one that I live with, and two that I see quite infrequently ever since I moved.

My hobbies involve creating, mostly. I enjoy drawing and painting people and animals, though I have begun to delve into the abstract realm as of late. When not absorbed in the world of 2D creation, I enjoy working with wire, hemp, paper, and beads.

I'm a retro-gamer, Star Wars addict, stream of consciousness writer, self-proclaimed philosopher, button collector, ex-smoker, Iceland enthusiast, hypochondriac, and a bit of a control freak (though I am working on this.) I've been gluten-free for five years and am three months into abstaining from dairy, eggs, and soy. I love David Bowie, a good cup of coffee, folding laundry, reading in the car, Burt's Bees lip balm, organizing and scheduling, mindfulness, blog writing, and learning.. everything I can. I'm currently obsessed with Khan Academy.

I dislike/hate/loathe (in no particular order) tin foil, Modest Mouse, people I don't know touching me, dishonesty, cruelty, people that don't like animals, the sounds people make when they eat, fireworks, guns, loud noises in general, pharmaceutical companies, polyamory, SKA, inconsiderate people, finger/toenails, most electronic/dance music, the ignorant redneck town I live in, 3D movies, cars, other peoples' emotions, intimacy, anything to do with pregnancy or birth, and the human race in general.

I'm assuming you dislike the idea of sex, then. Of course, if you dislike what is of pregnancy and birth, you must still appreciate its result, no?

My name is Grace, I am a seventeen year old girl, I was diagnosed with Aspergers at the start of last year. When I was a child, I used to like to line up toys, and I have no idea why, but whenever I played with toys I would always say, "Then he/she died". I am definitely a cat person. I'm quite passionate about music, it can be very relaxing sometimes. I do believe in god.

I uh.. Am also, recently, interested in watching Surgeries on TV. I find how our body works very interesting, it's actually incredibly amazing how everything fits together.
I am about to, hopefully, do a digital photography course in Dunedin, New Zealand. I also love photography, I love taking pictures whenever I can. I am currently in a relationship with an incredible guy, I love him with all my heart, and I'll never stop loving him.
And.. Yeah that's all. :)

My name is ShamelessGit. I was born in 1992 in Kansas to well-to-do parents. I had health problems as a child, and severe sensory issues which caused fits. As I grew older my health improved (I weigh 180lb now and can bench 200lb, and free squat 290lb), and I learned to de-sensitize myself by deliberately aggravating my sensitivities (usually causing fits) until I became acclimated to the sensory inputs that were causing the problems. I was bullied in school which made me suicidal when I was 8. The suicidal episode I had was the low point in my life, although I continued to be a generally miserable child for most of my life, especially after I started being interested in girls after the age 15. For the past year or so I have finally learned how to be content almost all the time, and often happy. That is due to having resolved all my sensory issues, having drastically improved my social skills, being treated with the respect granted automatically to an adult, and having felt for a while what it is like to be genuinely loved (just feeling that once seemed to have done wonders).

I am currently trying to get an undergraduate degree called, “Engineering Physics,” which in my case is like a mix between electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, and programming (This is do-able because the core subjects in these subjects have a lot of over-lap), although of course I don't go as in-depth in these subjects as a pure engineering major would. Due to my low opinion of people in general, I think of myself as a dumb animal, and I don't have much faith in mine, or anyone else's, reasoning ability (I don't think that anything that doesn't have a mathematical or empirical basis can be strictly, "true"), so I think the knowledge that is accessible to me through the engineering and physics departments at my university is a gift that no animal can deserve or expect. Most of our ancestors, and all of the nonhuman animals throughout history died as stupid as they were born, without any understanding of the world around them. Everything from the dew to the sun were incomprehensible mysteries. So I think I'd be a damn fool not to learn as much about the world that I live in that I can, while I can, and that is the real reason I am taking my major.

Philisophically I'm an atheist (meaning a lack of belief in supernatural) and a nihilist (as in a lack of belief in any inherent value in anything). Politically I'm resentful because my nation is semi-fascist in that it is extremely violent, nationalistic, and militaristic, and the corporations have more control over the functioning of government than the voters. I think Obama, Bush, and 95% of the congressmen during their terms should be tried for treason.

For fun I play video games, and occasionally I will start hobbies like fencing or climbing. I am always hungry for new experiences.

I am looking for a partner. Things I find attractive are intelligence, kindness, honesty, directness, and a strong will. I don't believe in “true love,” at least for myself, because I've never felt chemistry or anything like that, but I do believe, and I have felt this way before, that it is possible to find a person with whom it is possible to be very happy and content. I've wanted to be a father passionately since I was 15.

My name is UMBUTU, but my friends like to call me poopoo-daddy on account of my propensity to lick female buttholes. I am very good at cunnilingus, I like to climb trees, I speak fluent japanese and I also draw.

I am The Bicycling Guitarist in real life as well as online. Since the early 1980s I have ridden tens of thousands of miles "no hands" on a ten-speed bicycle while playing guitar at the same time. I have written hundreds of original songs but so far I have never been filmed nor recorded professionally. There are some videos on the "BicyclingGuitarist" YouTube channel and some other videos of me on other people's channels.

I am 54 years old and would like to find a female partner, friend, and companion. I appreciate science but realize its limitations. My spiritual interests lean very much towards Buddhism (especially Zen) and Taoism. I don't have much patience with those who subscribe to fundamentalist interpretations of any religion because as I see it they are out of touch with and in denial of demonstrable reality when they deny observable testable facts of nature such as evolution and the age of the earth.

I like Chinese food, or at least what we in the USA call Chinese food. I like cats much more than dogs. Dogs are too intense for me: either too friendly or too aggressive, too smelly, too loud, and they bring in fleas from outdoors. I could live with one or more dogs though if they are well-behaved. My cats are all indoors only pets. Even though I am a rock and roll musician, in general I am a quiet person and prefer (even need) a peaceful and quiet environment.

I really enjoy watching videos of Joseph Campbell as he discusses comparative mythology. I enjoy even more listening to audio files of Alan Watts explaining eastern philosophies to western audiences. I also still pursue my interests in history and science, but my main creative output is through my music nowadays. I know a LOT about the history of the world wars of the twentieth century (the people, events, ships, aircraft, battles etc.), and I still am learning more details all the time.

If anyone wants to correspond with me that would be cool, especially single ladies from 35 to 55 years old. I am easy to find here on WrongPlanet or on the internet. Just look for "bicycling guitarist" in any search engine and you can learn a lot about me and my interests. I may no longer agree with everything I've ever said that is posted online, but at the time I said it you can be sure I meant it.

I don't remember posting on this, and there's no way to search the whole thing, so here goes...

My name is Joshua, or "Josh" if you prefer. I was born August 15, 1980, in Houston, TX. I grew up for the first seven years of my life in the small town of Santa Rosa, right on the Tex-Mex border. My mother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin and I all moved to Dallas in 1987, and my immediate family is still there. My aunt passed away in 2003, while my uncle now lives with my cousin's family in a town about 3 hours away.

I grew up extremely sheltered for the bulk of my life, having very little communication with others aside from church and home. I attended public school until 9th grade, at which point I was removed from the system and got my GED in 2000. I studied multimedia at a community college from 2002-2003, then dropped out after losing interest. I was diagnosed with temporal-lobe epilepsy at age 14, and Asperger's Syndrome last year.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, though I readily admit it is rarely easy. Having been raised around lots of "hellfire preaching" types, there's an emotional war inside my heart over it. I try my best to never personally condemn people, but it doesn't always come across the right way. Over the last three years, I've been learning there's some people in this world who've already made up their mind to reject God, no matter what answers are presented to them in their "search for evidence". :(

Anyway, I started using the Internet very early on, and actually remember those awful dialup connections, where a single "text and images only" page could take over 45 minutes to load. I started referring to America Online as "AO-Hell", and I'm very thankful I don't have to tolerate that crap anymore. I spend most of my time on my computer, watching TV, or playing video games. I want to get married someday, but my one past relationship ended really badly, and so many women only seem interested in what they can get from a man, instead of being selfless. I know things like financial security and such are important, but I don't want a woman who would ditch me the moment I lose a job, or make a poor investment. I've also learned that a common spiritual worldview is essential in a romantic relationship, because those divisions will lead to so many arguments and a lot of distrust.

I guess that's it for now; if you'd like to chat me up, send me a private message. God Bless! :)

My name is Al, and I am a 32 year-old programmer with Asperger's and father of a 18 month old daughter who is showing early signs. I did not find out about it until about a month ago. I'm sure that it can sound odd to think I could go such a long time without knowing, but I always knew I was different and always felt very disconnected; I just didn't realize they had a term for it. The mother of my daughter left me tonight and I am honestly here because I don't know where else to be right now.

I love programming, and dove into game design about 3 years ago and haven't looked back. I am a professional web designer and have been for around 10 years, working mostly freelance stuff to make ends meet doing what I enjoy. I love Chinese food, math, the number pi, and doing just about anything outdoors when I can convince myself to do so. I'm 6'1" with a Kosmo Kramer build, dark hair, rock the 5 o' clock shadow all day coupled with a dorky smile. Last but not least, I've never been comfortable talking about myself, so I think I'll end this here. :)

Hope to meet some people that I can connect with in one way or another on this site. I saw the name 'Wrong Planet' and immediately thought that this was the kind of place I should be. Don't be shy, I've got nothing but time now.

I', Andy, 47 male, living in the UK. Over the past 10 years I've been struggling to cope with my problems more. I think its due to my age as I feel like I've wasted most of my life when I could of got help sooner. I'm pretty shy and timid, I tend to be too honest for my own good and let people walk over me a lot. I've been suffering from depression and loneliness for a few years now and would really like to meet a nice girl or even some new friends so I'm not on my own so much. I just can't find anything to talk about with most people not that I'm a great conversationalist anyway but the loneliness is killing me lately.

My name is David. I'm 22 about to be 23 on December 12th. I'm a natural brunette but I personally prefer raven (is that what people with black hair are called?) and my eyes are hazel which is kinda like a mix of green and blue. I'm the oldest of 6 siblings and I have 1 sister and 4 brothers. My mom was supposed to have another but she unfortunately miscarried. I was first diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 19 and I originally thought it was something to be ashamed of, but now I've been able to see the positive side of it and the harder aspects of it I've been able to mostly work past. My mom's side of the family came from down south so as a result I'll often slip into a bit of a Southern twang at times sounding similar to Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Yes I'm a Brony. I first started watching the show back in February of this past year and been hooked ever since. I have many passions which include singing, acting, writing (songs and stories alike), animation, Disney, Tim Burton, video games, and Sci-Fi among other things. Asperger's has certainly proved helpful in the creative aspect as I've been able to come up with numerous ideas for stories and songs many of which have yet to be put down in a word document. My favorite story that I've written was a passion project that I referred to as a Sci-Fi reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen's original Little Mermaid story. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite stories (both the 1837 fairy tale and the 1989 Disney classic) and Sci-Fi is one of my favorite genres so for the longest time I had been trying to come up with a way to splice the 2 together. After various iterations, I finally came up with a version I was happy with and completed it a few months ago. It's a bit on the shorter side but I've never seen that as a problem as some of the greatest writers of all time like Edgar Allan Poe wrote stories that are considered short by today's standards. I'd like to eventually get my story published and made into a movie. I've already got a mental picture of how I think it should be. As sad as this may be, I've never had a girlfriend in my life. My mom always told me that if I was going to get a girlfriend that I would need to get a job and get my driver's license. The former I've already done, the latter has proved more difficult. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, it's been hard seeing friends with their special somebody eventually getting married while I'm still single. Even harder is seeing my sister with her boyfriend of 3 years and my middle brother who had a girlfriend when he has neither a job nor a driver's license and asking to myself, "Why can't that be me?" I'm trying to remain optimistic about it, but it's hard when all the good ones are taken.

Hello Wrong Planet, my name is Sam. I'm a 25 year old Canadian, living in Vancouver. I'm a very physical person and love all sorts of sensory thrills and more primal aspects of life. My number one passion is strength sports and therefore, nutrition and weight training are a huge part of my life. At present, I compete in Powerlifting and Strongman. My plan is to do a lot more of these sports and get involved in Highland Games and this awesome new thing called Rig Sports.

I'm also an intellectual, of sorts. Nerdier elements; such as Sci-Fi and Chess bring me much joy. Reading is a favourite pastime of mine, particularly Cyberpunk and Hard Science Fiction - grittiness is key! I really don't believe there's such a thing as being too old for Pokemon, either!! Art has been a big part of my life over the years. I love making music, which combines guitar and digital mediums. Perhaps one day I'll start a band, but I've got a lot more "finding myself" to do, as an artist. Taking and digitally obliterating pictures is another favorite medium of mine.

As far as my career goal; I'm working on getting certified, so I can make real money at being a Personal Trainer. One day, I'll be a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Seeing other people achieve and surpass their goals gives me an incredible vicarious satisfaction. To be a part of that process for others as passionate about athletic performance as I, will be a true honour.

To call me a hopeless romantic would be fairly accurate. I hope to someday find a kind hearted and passionate woman and build a life together. Perhaps I've already met this woman, only time will tell. My ideal relationship is not the most traditional. Marriage is not something that appeals to me, nor is the concept of being a father. I believe that what truly matters in love is the bond between two people. Molding that to a set of imposed values; to me, is a likely way to destroy something pure and beautiful.

Realistic Optimism is the mentality that I strive to maintain. In life, we can't win every battle. It's through failure that we grow and learn. Success is to be celebrated, but so must we value every mistake we make and each lesson it provides. As an atheist, I maintain that we are each effectively the gods of our own worlds. We must take responsibility for our own actions, facing the consequences and accepting the rewards. What could the meaning of life be, but to achieve ultimate happiness? To be a fountain of positivity and leave this world a warmer place is the legacy I wish to be mine.

If you took the time to read this, thank you! Please don't be shy about sending me a PM!!
