hello brothers and sisters , as we all share in the same thing , AS , we all brothers and sisters ,
anyway ,
I am undiagnosed officially as AS , as I am an Egyptian living in Egypt all my life , we lack the medical understanding for Autism , once I say I have a disorder I will be locked in some hospital LOL, you sure can imagine 
I am almost 26 years old ( going to be next june and yes , Gemini ) , male .
an ex fiance ( which is a nurse ) have made a study about this , and told me about the AS , I started to read about it , and WOW , it explained a lot to me ,
why do I have a constant depression , why I don't have a social life , why I am running away from people all the time ( which before , I considered it shyness ) , why can't I look at a girl right in her eyes!! which made all my relationships with girls just online , why I am smart but can't have good grades , ....etc
I believe you all know all of this , yes people , I am a typical case of AS , I even have put my yahoo list on stealth LOL , yes folks , you can imagine
ok , this is enough about me , I hope I didn't bother anyone 
waiting for your comments

Hi Nagy,
Truly sorry to hear about all your troubles, but all things must pass; I hope you will find peace now that you have an explanation for your mind working the way that it does

thank you for understanding
somehow I feel in this forum we all understand each others , and we know what everyone is going through
and yes indeed I have peace of mind about my self now , but how would I deal with the society who lacks the understanding?! , this is a problem I have to resolve
and I can't express my happiness to find this website , its really Great

And i thank G-d that you have found us. As i have drifted around on this planet I have always felt exactly like the name of this web site: that I am on the wrong planet. I have been an alien - quite literally - among the people here. But as I have drifted around this web site I have found others similarly alienated, also drifting. And we are so much more than persons with some "disorder". We do NOT have a disorder. we are a slightly different breed of people. And while we are all different from all the non AS people, and while we are very much individuals within AS, we are a tribe.
You, no matter where you were born, are my brother. thank you for being you!

I really thank you for this very nice compliment which I really don't deserve , I am not me by my own free well, you know
but yes , here I feel I am not the only one with these things in mind , as the song says
we are really a tribe , this gives me a good feeling , that I belong to something , I am not alienated anymore , an alien for an alien is a relative
thank you nutbag , you made my day by what you said

Welcome Nagy. Glad to see i'm not the only one joining right now

I am hoping that you are having a good day - at the very least a day that will pass for good for an Aspie. I live in a small town in Arizona. Weare fairly "redneck" here, although in the good way in that when we say a prayer or the Pledge of Alleigance, we mean it, pretty old fashioned. We have several races here including white, black, East Indian, American Native, and a few Middle Easterners. We all get along just fine. We have folks on both the left and right of American politics, and mostly, being small town folk, we truly do not trust leaders of any sort very far.
And we have a few eccentrics as well, and so I fit into this mix pretty well. Whew!
Still, I am Aspie. I do not have Asperger's. A person has a sore tthroat. I am Aspie - this condition fairly determines my personality. Even for my town I am a bit unusual. And even though I do fit in well (I am 53 and have learned to emulate normalcy okay), it is for me still stressful.
I do architecture. As such I am usually alone. me and my music and my radios and my computer - the one that I work on. Of course, I do have to go out to meet clients. this is tough on me as I have to really work at personal interactions. the ones I will meet in a few hours I met with last time for TWO HOURS. I came home as hollow as an empty can of soup and as burned out as last year's fireworks.
some of this does not change. Life is difficult for one outside the norms. The other bees in the hive will sting you to death if you don't smell just like them. and we who are older Aspies have learned to do this. But: 1. It is always difficult to do consciously what others do on autopilot, 2. Do try, while fitting in, not to lose yourself. G-d, whatever his name, built you. and he did a wonderful job.
Have a great day. I look forward to hearing from you again, my brother.
all what I can say is WOW , this is really what I am going through
the same feelings when I meet others , we all are really facing the same things , wherever we are , whatever we believe in , we are all having the same problems , this really continues to amaze me , before finding WP , I thought I was just one of a kind , and I will never find someone like me and having my problems , but now , I am really sure that I have found my natural place among brothers and sisters who face what I face in life ,
and don't worry sister nutbag , I can't lose my faith in God , He made me like this for a reason , and I shall make the best out of it , I have my books , I am obsessed about Theology , this is a good thing to be Aspie , I will have the time to write and think of my own , especially I am living alone and sometimes months pass by without seeing a human , home sweet home
but I won't try to fit in , I am different , and I have accepted this , and Proud of this , if they don't like it , they can't do anything about it
thank you sister , I am looking forward to know what happened in the meeting , only if you don't mind
and thank you again
