Hi everyone, my name is William and I'm just here because I've had Aspergers all my life and just want to meet new people.

I've struggled with loneliness for a long time even though I have had a few good friends and just want to meet more people who may be more like me because I'm looking everywhere for someone to talk to

So anyway it's nice to meet you all and maybe you can help show a way out of the loneliness that I've always felt

Welcome.

There's at least a few people here who live in Queensland. Quite a few in Australia.

I live in Queens, New York City.

What are your "special interests?"

Brisbane is a large city. So is Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide. What's your favorite?

I do think Brisbane looks the best and has the overall best sub-tropical atmosphere that I love. But Sydney isn't bad either and it is Australia's largest city so it definitely has much more going on. I've always been interested in Melbourne but have never been. I'll probably fly down there sometime in the future

Perth is fascinating to me because it's an outpost thousands of miles from any other urban area.

Perth is great, Fremantle nearby is also really nice. I was once talked into going to Sydney by greyhound bus from Perth on my own. That was 3 days from hell. :lol:

I also didn't think much of Sydney so booked a flight back to Perth after 4 days.

Fremantle is where they launch the ships for the America's Cup between Australia and the US.
