living with aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

Hi i am new to this ..never really spoke to anyone about my aspergers, which was diagnosed when i was 24.now 27.and finding life with aspergers really hard,interaction being the hardest of all to deal with.....i hate crowds of people and have been unable to make friends since i was about 7yrs old....does anyone ever feel that there life is passing by? i live alone and find that being isolated is the worst part of aspergers..people never really understand how difficult it can be to interact with people when you have no friends.
I have family that i go and vist everyday just to get out of my house..sad really.
Ido'nt work as i can never manage to be around too many people ..i keep thinking that they are all talking about me and i have very low convidence in myself..i tend to drive as i hate going on public transport..i have a social worker who visits me every two wks just to chat but never comes up with any real help....i am so sensitive to noise because i live alone i tend to hear every sound from my neighbours as i live in a small studio so just hearing there daily life going on really gets me stressed.
I am taking a small open Uni course to add to my other courses, hoping one day i might just work..although i am not one of the clever people that have the so called special traits with maths and stuff..i got sen help at school as maths was really difficult for me so that doesn't really help when you have nothing to offer...
Ilive in the UK where adults with aspergers just get left to deal with there problems on there own,i am just hoping to be able to meet a nice girl that can accept my aspergers so that i can move on like everyone else in life..but where to start ? trying dating sites but being targeted by scammers so not really helpful not much sites that help with dating ..and the ones that do are getting the wrong people on them.
just wondering if anyone with aspergers has all the problems i have..i understand its a spectrum disorder but i am just over the so called mid line so not getting any help although i have so many problems.
sorry folks for giving you all my life story ,really just wanted to say Hi to all you people that struggle every day with Aspergers.

Hi LG welcome to WP

Can't help with the date thing I'm afraid.
What courses are you doing at uni ?

Cheers
Bill

Thankyou bill for the support..i would love just to be myself but 100% stres just takes over my life.
The course i am doing is at home as i find it difficult to be around others..trying to really fight it but very hard at the moment,anyway i am doing a small Enginering course at the moment as i have interest in aircraft at the moment..but know really i do'nt have the brain to take it anywhere but it keeps me doing something and takes my mind of the mundane things in life,anyway thanks again..and Bill take that coat off and never put it back on again lol wish i could.

I just wanted to emphasize the fact that I'm going through the same thing. I never learned to drive and my parents have moved several states away, though, so I don't see them often. The closest family members are also the least understanding, and the least willing (not the least able!) to understand.

I think family are really important when you have aspergers....my family have really tried to help me in every way to cope with my aspergers as i have a lot of down days,and without their support it would be hard,but i am trying to break away from them so i can try to overcome my problems myself..but i must say it can be hard when you have no friends to turn to
