Hello everyone,

I was a member of WrongPlanet many years ago, but I don't have those details anymore so I am starting again. I've been diagnosed with Asperger's my whole life, and I'm in the process of re-discovering myself and my interests following the collapse of my six-and-a-half year relationship and not having any other social contact outside of family. I'm in my thirties, and managing to live independently at the moment.

I'm looking to get to know new people again, opportunities for in-person interaction are quite limited in my local space and balancing that with full time work can be tough; I have a weird variety of interests including art, football, comedy, tabletop/board gaming and casual exercise as well as others that'll pop up in my head over time.

I like to think I can be open-minded and a good listener so if you are interested in chatting, please get in touch. :)

Welcome back!

I consider it a good sign when someone decides WP is worth returning to.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. It sounds like you are an introvert. So am I. Actually I am an extreme introvert. Somehow I married a girl who was an extreme extrovert. Somehow we made this combination work. We will be hitting our 50 year celebration next year. Anyways welcome to the site.

One last comment. About 50 percent of the people in the world are introverts and the rest extroverts. So there are plenty of introverts out there, you just have to know where to look.

Welcome, Daniel. We seem to have a few similar interests. I would love to get to know you better. I’m in my 30s as well.
