I have a friend in another country, but haven't met up with him for over a year -- the logistics are difficult.
I have another friend elsewhere in this country, but again the logistics are difficult. We haven’t met for several years, and now only exchange birthday and Christmas cards. |

| Hi, and welcome to the forum. Not sure what else I can say actually! (Have never had kids, so I can't really relate, so I wouldn't want to pitch in with advice — not that you've asked for advice anyway.) |

Obsessively, not for phone calls but for web browsing, Twitter, emails etc.
I find smartphones are fantastic for occupying myself in a pub or café. Before smartphones, I'd read newspapers (but not now that newspaper quality has declined (because smartphones etc. I suppose)). |

ISFP-T.
I did this on 16personalities, and the description it came up with afterwards just doesn't feel like me. Not sure what happened there. |

| I'm good at logic (or perhaps I should say: I'm good at logic puzzles, but I'm not a logical person in the everyday sense), maths and computers. I am not good at chess. I cannot remember standard responses to common openings, and I also get bored, lose my thread and make a near-random move just to a... |

| I self diagnosed when i was 26 and then went on to get a formal diagnosis, i can't say that it really 'helped' me, but it definitely lead me to some helpful websites, books and information.

Quickie about me: late 50s, male, British, and self-diagnosed as somewhere on the autism spectrum (probably Asperger's).
First time I've ever admitted to anyone I'm probably an aspie. Not sure how I feel about it (have never felt comfortable about labelling myself).  |
