| I just noted NOLA because it is the biggest metro area to Jackson. And the dating scene in NOLA is probably a lot better than Jackson. |

| I'm Joe, 37, male, pretty decently fit and I stay physically active. I moved to Jackson, Mississippi for work a little over a year ago, and am rather frustrated by the singles scene here; it isn't much better than Anchorage, Alaska where I moved from. Seeing if there are any single Aspie women who a... |

| I have gone hiking in the summer. Yes, there are beautiful views up here, but that doesn't really keep my interest here in Alaska like it used to. I live alone, 2 bedroom apartment. I have a guest bedroom, but nobody will come and visit me, not even my own family. I cannot have pets in my building. ... |

| Thank you for replying! The real issue is, I am NOT an outdoorsy person up here. The environment just simply overwhelms me too much, and I really am not comfortable leaving the city much. I'm not much into either the music or bar scene. I have actually joined outdoors hiking groups, but have not had... |

| Hey, I am a high-functioning male Aspie in my early 30's. I try to stay pretty fit, 5'7" 158 lbs., and I have a middle-class professional career in my field of study. I moved to Anchorage a year and a half ago. I have not had any luck finding someone special here, or even really friends. I am a... |

| I just got here myself. I live in Sitka, working for the Forest Service. Great job, but not a whole lot of young people to meet. |

| I'm a guy, 30, in shape and pretty physically active, who moved to Sitka two months ago. I have a nice career with a federal agency, and was fortunate enough to get a permanent middle-class career in my field. However, it is quite a bit lonely here in SE Alaska right now. I was wondering if anyone e... |

| I appreciate everyone's opinions. In all fairness, I have met very few people of the opposite sex with autism and asperger's, at least that I knew had it. And of those I did meet, there was zero compatibility, period. Like Charli Devnet, an individual with Asperger's in the book Different...Not Less... |

| Possibly. Another person with equally good but different gifts, who balances me out. I agree with the thought that an ASD/ASD relationship would not work out in the end. |

| I am a very high-functioning Aspie, and very social, type A person. I have rarely met anyone with Asperger's, and most of them were higher on the autism spectrum. While I haven't had much luck with relationships in the past, I would prefer to meet someone special who is an NT, and whom I share mutua... |

I realized that individuals with disabilities qualify for preferential hiring for government jobs. Being an aspie with a mind specifically g... |

| I am fortunate to live in an area where there is a lot of wildlife (Southwestern Oregon), and I love encountering it. When I can pet sit, I do. I had two cats, and they both lived out their natural lifespans. :-( I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, although my most recent pet-sitting gig inv... |

| One common trait I have noticed in us Aspies is that we enjoy being around animals. Or, at least some of us do. I have a friend with Asperger's as well, and she is a veterinarian. I sometimes think that I should have taken that path (I studied Environmental Studies for my Master's), and I really enj... |

| I was on antidepressants for 10 years, and quit them two years ago. I can honestly say that I do not feel any different from when I was on them, probably meaning that they did not have the desired effect. Then again, my body has always either been resistant to medication, or typically I had a bad si... |

| I wrote three stories, actually. The first one is right after X8. Sigma and Lumine do come back, but so do Sting Chameleon and Magma Centipede. The latter two are good now, and cured of the Maverick virus. This is mainly due to a third character. The three of them team up with X, Zero, and Axl, and ... |
