| Unfortunately I live in London, UK. It's a shame because I love mountains too - it would've been nice to have someone to go hiking with apart from my parents. |

| I do feel sexual arousal sometimes, but I never have any desire to engage in sexual intercourse when I'm aroused, and I don't think the idea would actually have occurred to me if I didn't know that was the 'norm' in society. Likewise I don't get turned on at all by the idea of having sex. The best w... |

| You sound similar to me, OP. I consider myself asexual/demi-sexual, so a conventional relationship wouldn't work for me, but I also need something more than just a normal platonic friendship. My ideal partner would be someone I could confide in and share my ideas and feelings with. Some physical con... |

| There are several Aspie social groups that meet on weekday evenings in and around London if you're interested in those. There's Danda, on the 4th Tuesday of the month in the Knights Templar pub in Chancery Lane, and Contact group, on the 2nd wednesday of the month in the Met Bar at Baker Street. The... |

| I used to spend school lunchbreaks pulling up grass. I found it quite a therapeutic activity in what could sometimes be quite a stressful environment. |

| I use Facebook, because I find communicating online easier than face-to-face, plus I get updates relating to my interests in my newsfeed. I don't post much though, I mainly read other people's posts. I'm also a member of some of the wrong planet aspie groups on there. |

| I have a younger brother, who is an aspie. He was my only friend when we were children, and is still my best friend today. I think my life would have been much harder if I'd had an NT sibling instead. |

| Haven't played it in months. Such a disappointing library. That's the thing about Nintendo, they seem to be turning into a company that turns out four or five amazing games each generation, but doesn't have any third-party support. The latest iteration of Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, Super Smash Bros, etc... |

| The scariest games are the ones where enemies sneak up behind you or suddenly jump out at you. Like in Alien Trilogy where the aliens made a kind of swishing sound, sometimes I'd think I could hear one but would turn round and there would be nothing there, so next time I'd think it's ok it's just ba... |

Gameboy, Snes, Playstation, N64, Wii and a couple of Game and Watch. I'm currently saving up for a 3DS XL.
I still have a C64 and Amstrad 464+ in the loft somewhere. |

Also there was a lot of emphasis on our sensory processing difficulties that often aren't mentioned in autism programmes. It was good that t... |
