Hi. I'm 24 years old and recently realized that I have Aspergers. No close friends. No romance. Weak family relationships. Monotone voice. Great at logic. Terrible at socializing. Inability to express emotions. Anxiety. Depression.

My adolescence would have been a lot better if I had known that there was something physically different about the way my brain processes emotions and related stimuli rather than operating under the assumption that I was a normal person with serious character flaws.

Oh well. Fortunately, I am high-functioning and will be able to get a good job with my mathematical knowledge. From here on, I'm going to try to learn to live with the hollowness and make the best I can of this life. My goal for 2019 is to be crippled by depression for less than 2 months total (usually lose 5-6 months per year).

Thanks for reading. Hopefully there's better times ahead for all of us.

Dear Mr. PDubs, many people within the spectrum have a great many difficulties and, I wanted to let you know your not along out there in a world which can be difficult to navigate without some sort of map.I,myself have my own set of troubles of the past & present though, I try to do my best to work out the situations as best as I can. Also, I have no close friends & as far as relationships go, that has not been a promising reality in over 21yrs now. Anyways, I'd like to welcome you to WrongPlanet and all that it contains including the numerous people you will come across here which are great,honorable persons..

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

You're definitely not alone here. I'm 50, diagnosed at 34. I'm still trying to navigate it all, but it's starting to get better. I know the place you're in, believe me. I didn't think I could dig out of that hole, either. Just know you're not alone here. And welcome.

Welcome to Wrong Planet.
