Hi,

I was just recently diagnosed with Aspergers. I've always known there was something seriously wrong with my .. perception and interactions in society, its a shame I was never diagnosed as a child.

I'm a 26 year old man, live in Canada, and aside from the aspergers (and related mental impairment(s)) I think i'm just your average joe.

I've never been able to make or keep friends, and have never had any relationship in my life, which has led to serious depression, and anxiety disorder (psychiatrists were only able to diagnose these, it wasn't until recently that I found a psychiatrist who actually LISTENS to me, that I found out I have aspergers).

So ... i'm here in hopes that I can make some connections with someone, even if its simply an online friendship or whatever, right now I don't have ANY friends in real life or online, so i'm incredibly lonely, and welcome any change from this current situation.

Anyways, I don't mean to complain in this intro (its just very hard to be positive). What are some things you guys do to cope, or to pursue friendships and whatnot with people that understand your (our?) afflictions?

Welcome home, HiTech!

stick around and enjoy. We have people that were diagnosed in the cradle and old geezers that were diagnosed yesterday. Just jump in where ever.

Welcome to Wrong Planet, HiTech!

Pleased to meet you, fellow-traveler HiTech, and welcome aboard Wrong Planet.

Hello HiTech and welcome to the WrongPlanet. I was diagnosed with Asperger's this past November just after my 44th birthday. Like you, a social life isn't much a part of me. The most meaningful communication I do, besides with my family, is here on the WrongPlanet. Well...there is a lady who works where I do who has an Asperger's son---so I talk to her some. I usually preferred being alone---and I still like to have alone time. But yes, I guess there are times when one gets lonely. But that is when you can absorb into interests. I think you will find the communication here at the WrongPlanet can keep you a lot of company. Feel free to make posts and respond as you desire. I think you will find that you will get many friends here. Enjoy.
