Hi everyone, I've been browsing this site for a good few months now, and at last (obviously :) ) decided to join. It makes me feel a bit better to know i'm not totally alone in the way I think, because dispite the fact I go to a special-needs school for people with ASD (and am now in what I suppose is the equivalent to 6th form), I find it very difficult to make proper friendships (and people who actually want to be my freind wind me up to hell) - for some reason I find it easier to talk to and get on with people that are older than me, such as teachers and friends of my parents.

I have always found school breaks stressful - there's jack s**t to do, and no one to talk to. To top it all off, the PC is in the lounge because there's no room for it anywhere else (long story :( ), and this prevents me from playing music or writing personal things when my mother's in (which is most of the time :x !)

Anyway, I didnt realise there's so many of us out there, and there seems to be a lot of nice people on here - I hope I'll fit in round here (which is something I tend to find difficult in real life), and... well... yeah.

I've been banging on a bit ain't I :lol:

Welcome :)

i understand school breaks are a pain. At university I had the luck to have a computer room where i could isolate myself.
Before that I was just "sticking" to people. I did not know how to make friends so i just randomly chose a person and stick to them. usually when somebody would say one word to me, i considered it a friendship and would not leave them alone. no wonder they called me honey pops...

if you need to talk, i'm here for you :)
Although i wouldn't expect advice if i were you, since neurotypicals are still a mystery to me :?
