| I agree with that. Most people can't understand why we're being unsocialble. |

| I know this little girl who runs away every time she sees me. I never did anything to her. Other people I know avoid me because they don't want to be around a person who acts "stupid". |

| I screw up friendships. When I don't talk, people think that either I'm stuck up or I just don't like them. I can't think of the right things to say, my mind goes blank and the few that know me say that I'm just "bashful". |

| About 5% of the time on MSN, I say the first "Hi". In chat rooms I never message anyone- I always wait until someone messages me, then the conversation goes from there. I tried talking on audio in the microphone to someone on MSN, but after I said "Hello" my mind just got nervous and froze. I could ... |

| The picture I'm using was painted by the artist Edward Hopper in 1925. The name is "House by the Railroad". The house in the movie "Psycho" (the orginal black & white movie) was based on this painting. |

| I've always hated having my picture taken- none of my pics ever looked right to me. Old pics or new pics - I've torn up a lot of them. Afraid that someone would make fun of me. I don't like to look in a mirror unless I have to. |

I'm 46 and I have 6 sons, ages 24-23-22-19-18-16. My oldest was dianogsed with just being "socially disabled". My 16 year old has Autism- I have to help him with most everything.
All my other sons have no known problems and they get along well socially. |

Hello-
I'm new here and I can be pretty shy with people. I never knew why I was such a social screw-up growing up. I'm glad to find people out there who are Aspies like me. 
I also have a 16 year old son with Autism- he is just like a 3 year old. |
