Hi everyone, I'll introduce myself here. I'm a graduate student in my mid 20's, and some of my hobbies involve video games, classical music, computers, and learning more about the world in general. I have always had issues with how to talk to people, interact in social situations, and making (real) friends throughout my life. However, I'm very good at the analytical and logical stuff, I guess I owe that to my Aspergers.

With that said, while I'm not really extroverted, I'm more introverted, I do occasionally like to enjoy some social interactions with acquaintances and people outside time to time. Though most of the time I prefer to do solitary activities myself. I do have a strong drive to want to excel in whatever I do, except for certain activities that I don't have much interest in, then I wouldn't be as serious in wanting to "best" someone in that field or activity.

I'm hoping to find like-minded people in this community as well as being able to relate, obtain as well as give advice, and discuss about our struggles as an Aspie. May we all someday overcome most of our problems, be able to have a better quality of (social and personal) life in this NT run world.

Hello! I also have Asperger's, and I have a lot of problems talking to people. I freak people out because I say whatever I'm thinking, and I don't have any volume control. I also get nervous in public places, so I carry a stuffed animal with me whenever I go to school (or anywhere that isn't home or the library). Most people assume that I'm ret*d and treat me like a four-year-old, which also hinders my ability to make friends-no one is willing to have a serious conversation with someone they believe to be on the intellectual level of a toddler.

I was very excited when I found this website, because I have very few friends, and I enjoy talking with other autistic people. Unfortunately, I have a bit of a stammer, and I can never think of what I want to say when I'm speaking out loud, so I prefer to text, write letters, or send emails. I really hope we can talk about things that we have in common, assuming that we have things in common besides autism. Have a lovely day!
