I only have a few friends...we don't have much in common. I feel like we are drifting.

| When I was a young teen, I did not. I'd play videogames after school for the rest of the afternoon and maybe watched some TV and that was it. I never really had a social life until I got a job a few years later where I was forced to be a little social. The job has certainly helped me and I've met a few people I can probably call friends but even today, I still spend the majority of my time alone when I'm not working or am not at college. |

Only if you count people that I talk to on the internet/forum sites.
Otherwise, I have no social life because I don't spend time with friends and I barely know or talk to anyone in real life. |

I used to not have a social life back in Year 9 of school. But people in my year came up to me, and I got to know them that way round. Through talking on MSN, and hanging around in the park, I have built up quite a steady, but easy going social life. That's why I haven't been on posting on here that often. And on Saturday, I'm going to go on a Caravan Holiday with them.  |

| I used to not have any social life whatsoever, and would only interact superficially with anyone at school. I haven't met anyone I'd call a friend to me, atlhugh a few have come close. Sometiems I hang around a group, and I mgiht go to a few of their pbirthday parties, but ther'es no meaningful connection between me and them. |

| I didn't have any social life at all until I was about 13. In fact, I had no friends until I was about 11 or 12 years old. In the past few months I've started doing more things with my friends. Soon I'm going on a trip to London with my friend, her mum, and another friend. I usually do social things about once a month. Most girls in my classes go to parties, go shopping and hang out at the park about twice or three times a week but if I tried to do that with my friends I'd find it overwhelming. Luckily they understand this and don't get offended if I tell them I don't feel like doing stuff. |

| I suppose it's different for different Aspies, but I find that as well as having some difficulty with obtaining friends, I also find I am able to discern and not put up with the lies or deceit that often occurs with "friendship". |

| I think I do. I do theater and have many theater friends. I play electric guitar and teach it. I'm in an A Capella group. I love just hanging out with friends and going to the mall and just messing around with them. I love going to the roller skating rink. I also do dance. I also rap with friends and all that. |

I don't feel comfortable at all with people my age, so no, I hardly ever go to social things, but then again, I don't like to, LOL!
I prefer to hang out with older people, I feel way more comfortable with them, than people my age. I have a few friends but they are a few years younger than me, and when I am at social things with people my age they never talk to me, and if I try to talk to them, I get nervous and can't talk well, so I don't even bother, LOL!

i feel quite lucky to have a social life because for some reason, im a people magnet and everyone wants to be my "friend". i think that they are just facinated to spend time with "that awkward girl". im the only aspie at my school that i know of but i wish there were more. i do have about 7 people that i generally hang out with everyday at school but most of my friends are going off to high school this year. i have one really clingy friend (i really dislike clingy people) who i really want to let go of and i just want her to go away. i have been coaching my social skills ever since i was 6 and some people cant tell if i am asbergian or neurotypical and i dont know if thats a good thing.
