Hello,

My name is Isabelle, I'm 23...I think. I'm bad with numbers.
I thought it would be fun to post here to prove to myself that I'm incapable of finding friends. So, please, prove me wrong.
Anyway, I'm a self diagnosed aspie, I'm waiting to get my official diagnosis.
I have a lot of interests, the main one are photography, driving my motorcycle, playing games on my PC (Skyrim, Portal and MW2), weaving handwoven rugs and making jigsaw puzzles.
I currently live at home with parents and siblings and 3 cats and a dog. Soon I'm about to start a one year apprentice training, if it all works out I'll be a locksmith next year.


diagnosed or not everybody needs some one to talk to. I think I just proved you wrong hit me up if you wanna chat.

Hell, why not...

Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0/183cm
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Interests: Travelling, photography, history, geography, nature, football, the rest seems to change every month or so!
Favorite music: Most kinds of rock, trance, some house/electronica

I'm "unofficially diagnosed", after a long interview with a psychiatrist - who described me as being on the spectrum, but close to bordering on NT. I am very fortunate to have my share of (mostly NT) friends, but I would like to meet more people on a similar wavelength as I am.

Hi all. I'm 32 years old and live in Kentucky (United States, of course, lol). I'm a female. I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's earlier this year.

I have little to no friends and the people who I do consider friends, really aren't even my friends and are never around when I need someone with whom to talk or hang out. I'm just on here looking for some Aspie friends. Male friends, female friends, I don't care...I'll talk to anyone, really.

My interests include art, museums, shooting pool, learning new things, listening to music, 8-bit binary code, playing video games, chatting online, watching movies, etc., I like a little bit of many different kinds of music.

If you want to be friends with me, message me! Have a nice day!

Hi all

I'm Paul, 42 yrs old, live in the UK and currently waiting the results of my assessment, but clearly am an Aspie.
I work, am married,also have a teenage daughter.
My hobbies include sculpting, photography, computers and am also currently a Psychology undergraduate which takes up most of my time.
I have no social life or friends and am looking for friends of either gender who I can discuss Aspie problems and just someone who will listen.
I'm quite egocentric (duh!) so am looking for someone who accepts this and not look down on me for being so.
This is a big problem with my socialising is that I just don't feel that I can be me, which my social anxiety inhibits anyway, but it's kind of a vicious circle.
Hope I don't come across as needy, but the topic is making friends Very Happy

Hi,

My name is Melanie, 33 yrs of age, diagnosed Aspergian, with 3 children and living in the UK. My middle child lives with high-functioning autism also.

I have no friends. Not a single one. Each time I let my guard down, I find I am confused by the implications, intentional skimming over real issues, and indirect use of language, which bugs me to the point of irritation, and I find I can't trust people. I consequently barricade myself into my own world again, and over the years I have felt my world becoming smaller and smaller. One day I think I may disappear altogether, as my world implodes, and acquaintances suddenly drop off my social radar.

There is much to say on the issue, but for now, just an introductory 'hey' will suffice here.

It would be nice to form a meaningful friendship, but with each passing year, I lose hope. I am intensely interested in science, and artful photography, amongst other things.

I spend too much time on the computer, and too much time thinking about the human condition, and I enjoy reading, singing and creating.

I'm Brooke. I am 20 years old from South Carolina. I was in college for computer programming but I dropped out due to the stress of going to school every day. I live alone with my dog and basically have very little social interaction at the moment. It's actually quite hard living alone and not having peers to do things with. I can't even get out of the house because the battery in my car is dead. Sad

Even though I was in school for programming, I don't really spend much time programming anymore. My biggest interest is gaming. Right now I am playing Mass Effect 3.
Some of my other hobbies are creating music, movies, drawing, and computer stuff. I am diagnosed with AS. I think I do pretty well but it is hard to function out in the real world.

Hey peoples Very Happy

I'm a 22 year old girl who lives in Australia, Brisbane (or close to). I work full time in Psych and am currently saving up to go back to college. My main interests are history, politics, some philosophy, and other associated topics so it anyone wants to talk about that kinda stuff, PM me!

Apart from that I am really into music and play multiple instruments and dabble quite a bit with it and also into dance in a huge way. I have a range of other interests (mostly outdoor) too, so please don't be shy. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese mostly.

If you ever have anything you want to chat about or someone to listen or advice, I'm always here. I have a sense of humor and as such I generally only watch tv or movies that either amuse me or really make me think. I love learning new stuff too so if there's anything else you're up to talk about, let me know.
