Hello from Germany!

Just like everyone else here a small introduction of my person.

After searching the web for information about Asperger and relationships I stumbled upon WrongPlanet As I am interested in how other people that are diagnosed with Asperger deal with certain situations in life, which are hard to talk about with people that are neurotypical, I decided to register on this forum in order to read more about it.

About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with the Asperger syndrom. It was after 4 years of declining academic performance that I realised that I could not change this, as opposed to high-school were I used to be the best student. Know I now that it probably was the fact that I moved out from the house into a shared appartment was such a big change, that I completely threw me of the track.
So after 4 years and failing a mandatory exam, I struck a deal with the university board that I would take one year of my study in order to find what had been causing my poor academic performance. That is when I decided to consult professional help and after a few weeks and running tests I was diagnosed with the Aspergers syndrom.

In hindsight, many problems that I used to attribute to "life" "lazyness" "shyness" etc. probably stem from Asperger. I always feel uncomfortable around new people, as I am unable initiate a relaxed conversation. In turn, if people initiate a conversation with me I can go perfectly along with that, as long as the conversations touches "interesting" subjects (history, cars, economy, business, armed forces, politics, current events etc.).

Another closely related subject is the unfulfilled desire for a relationship with a female companion. I feel like I am unable to show a girl that I am interested in her. In turn, I do have somewhat learned how to read the signs that girls tend to send, though I am still clueless about how to engage in the situation.

Anyhow, I'll keep it to this right now, of course feel free to ask if you have any questions!

Willkommen bei Wrong Planet! Ich hoffe, daß Sie viele Freunden auf diesem Planet finden!

I am diagnosed with Asperger's, too, and have been for eine lange Zeit. Frauen können einen Mann auf die Palmen bringen. Even "normal" Menschen have a schwere Time understanding them. So, it is normal to have problems with this. When my wife understood what was "wrong" with mir, sie finally felt she understood me. She still expected me to change into something "normal". Just be you, and tell the Frau, die Ihnen den Kopf verdreht hat, that you like her and would like to hang out together. Be a good listener, and learn to be interested in her. Make her a good subject to learn about. Then, maybe she will become Ihre beste Freundin. Viel Glück damit!
