Well, here it goes...

Hi everyone, I'm AJ.

I've known about places like this for a while. I've avoided them. My experiences with other people with Asperger's are usually not positive ones and while I'll have a lot in common with these people, the differences in how we approach them usually end up burning any bridges we manage to build. For a while I actively avoided anybody else on the autism spectrum and got very distressed if that wasn't possible.

That may have been a mistake, because here I am feeling deeply isolated after years of doing this; feeling like nobody relates to me on the things I find most troubling. I can explain it to people, but they can only "get it" to a limited extent. That's pretty miserable so I've decided this is worth a try. I want to talk about this stuff with someone who lives it. I'm not sure this is a place where I'll fit in very well, but there's only one way to find out, right?

Welcome here mate I came here to see whether I can discuss with fellow aspergians as well

Hi Bentamy. Good timing. Let's see where this goes, yeah?

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey AJ welcome.

Thanks for the welcome, folks. I'll be around while I get a feel for the place, happy to talk with people.
