Well, while I do like puzzles, I don't do them often, I don't have many. Every username I chose was already taken times like 30 tries. So finally when this one wasn't taken I said screw it. I'm a nerd, my brain is like a puzzle i'm trying to solve, and hence the username. :)

There is nothing in my area, I have called dozens of places listed on google and autism support websites and they have all told me that the program either does not exist anymore or that it isn't for adults. No one was helpful in pointing me in any direction and one person from a special needs school who was listed as an adult aspergers support group location even hung up on me after saying the program has been dissolved. So, once you are 18 years or older...you just get to figure everything out on your own. No support groups for adults with Aspergers at all. Not one single one. I have done endless hours of searching now. I give up.

I am devastated by this. I have searched for years off and on and gave it one final go. I have spent oh 4 hours on the phone today looking again. Not one damn group exists in person not even in a 1 hour driving radius of where I live.

I have recently lost the vast majority of my social network and people who I had considered my best friends. I have no social network now. I have no one to interact with at all now. Just this forum. I played a videogame online and over the course of a year got to know very well (or so I thought) a handful of people and it was nice to have human friends. Then one of em turned around and crapped all over me, I ended the friendship and was kicked from the guild almost immediately. Then, my other best friend in the guild accused me of messing with that friends game account. I told him I didn't and he didn't believe me. :( I've never lied to him and I loved him like a brother. He is gone now too. I feel like my soul was ripped out. It hurts. I miss my friends in game and I miss talking and laughing with them in voice chat. Nothing makes you feel more like a disposable piece of garbage then people turning their back on you.

Hey NerdyPuzzleBrain, I'm sorry to hear about how your friends treated you. Even if you can't find a support group in person, it seems like this forum is a very supportive community and a good place to start. Hang in there!
