My name is Kyle. I just joined this web site yesterday. My job coach recommended this web site to me, and thought it would be a good place to meet & talk with people. I would like some suggestions about what I could post on here, and what I should talk about. I have already read the topic about the rules, posted by Alex in Beverly Hills back in 2006. I have never used an online forum before. It seems like a lot of people really like this web site. Thank you for the suggestions, and I will be back soon.

Welcome to WP

Why dont you post some of the standard stuff like:
I am 49 years old, Married to a neurotypical wife and have 2 aspie kids, a daughter 16 and son 12.

I like video games (pokemon) and dungeons and dragons. I like to take hikes with my wife. We go camping, but that is more her thing than mine.

How does you aspergers/autism manifest itself in your life? I am able to fake the social stuff most of the time, but I dont understand it. I have a lot of anxiety and depression. It is very hard for me to make decisions and changes in my routine or schedule are hard if I dont have advanced warning. Sounds dont bother me too much, but crowds do and strong smells like spicy food.

Hope you are helped by being a member here.

Welcome! I suggest just read the threads here and see which ones you can relate to or have something to say about.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Welcome!
I agree with TheAP's suggestion.
Furthermore you can start own threads of topics that are interesting for you and find like-minded people who might answer to your threads.

Hey Kyle welcome.

Welcome to wrong planet!

Thanks to every one who answered & welcomed me to the Wrong Planet site.



I am 30 years old. I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome back in 1994, when I was 9 years old & in the third grade. I was in regular elementary school, but then my parents sent me to private schools for special needs students. I have always been very shy & quiet. I do not make friends easily, but I can still talk to people. When I am in social situations, I get very nervous & I do not know what to say or do. I have only made 2 friends in my life; they are both gone now. I have anxiety & extreme depression; I have been on antidepressant medication since I was 17 years old. I live alone in a small condominium. I have 2 brothers, but I have never been close with them; we have never had much in common. My mother died in 2013, but my father is still alive, and we still have a good relationship. I was very close with her, and her death has affected me terribly.



I work at a public library as a library aide. Some of my interests are coin collecting, music, movies, poetry, electronics, writing, and reading. I spend a lot of time by myself. I do not like loud noises or places at all. I am a very picky eater; I only like a limited number of foods, and I must have them exactly how I want them. My preference is to be in quiet places, and I use ear plugs when I go to loud places. I am also very sensitive to smells; if any smell bothers me, then I have to get away very fast. Changes are very difficult for me; any change in my routine is unbearable for me. If anything changes for me, I get very upset & struggle to deal with it.



I am happy to be on this site, and I hope I get a lot of help here. Thanks for all the welcomes & suggestions.

Welcome!
