Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to say here. I created an account with the hope of talking with people who think like I do (more or less) and will understand me. I don't really know anyone like me, besides family members, and I have no friends. I began suspecting I have Asperger's about two years ago, and after a lot of research, I believe that I meet enough critera for a diagnosis, except that now it no longer officially exists in the DSM V.
I struggle with fitting in every single day. I never seem to know what it is I'm supposed to be doing in social situations. Sensory issues are terrible for me. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to live a normal life.
Hey and welcome Yigeren,
The best thing to do is just say what is on your mind, we are not here to judge but rather to listen.
I have an issue with communication with other people both neurotypical and neurodiverse. I have joined many chat and forum sites and it is rear that I get any response to my posts.
I have 'friends' that I meet in a social environment yet none of them ever ring me. It is not that I am weird, in fact people (in real life) love my personality.
This is very frustrating and I just do not understand how to get the attention of other people for the purpose of becoming friends.
Your are normal Yigeren as we are all normal. There is no recipe to being normal, normal is as normal does. To be yourself is normal and if people don't understand then so be it for them, they may be missing out on the most beautiful person ever.
