I don't really. I see friends at school, but not out of it, and I don't go out after school very often (sometimes to my Youth Group, but aside from that...). I am on a forum, but that doesn't really count. It doesn't bug me much. School's the wrong place for me anyway. It'll probably improve if I find somewhere where I fit in a bit more. Can't imagine where, but there you go. 8)

I don't know.
I eat lunch with two kids at school. We all have AS, so sometimes conversations can be kind of awkward. They are nice kids, though. But once school is over, it ends from there.
One kid talks to me in the halls sometimes.
Another wants to play music with me and sits with me in our LA class. He can be really inconsistent in other situations, though, which can be very confusing.

I don't have any friends or acquaintances outside of school.

I have a social life in college...it's the only place where I can fully embrace and be myself :)

At home however, my social life is rather dire; I have a few friends who I'll meet up with in Manchester but that's it :/

I have no social life. I don't even know any people. I'm homeschooled and an only child, so I'm alone most of the time. I can't hate it.

I don't have a social life. I have many acquaintances, but no one I would be willing to call a friend. I call them friends to their faces for lack of a better word, that they would undertand and not be offended by.

Sometimes it bothers me, but mostly no, I do not mind not having an active social life. I'm quite satisfied with random bursts of talking to anyone friend or stranger, that seems to make me feel more sociable if I felt like talking to someone.

Sadly I feel like I'm bragging having read these posts, but I have an extremely active social life, and several friends, whom I hang out with on a near daily basis. Not wanting to sound odd, but marijuana has actually helped have a social life. Because of it I've made many friends who I hang out with almost constantly now, even when there's no weed and nothing to do. I think I've learned how to live in a NT world fairly quickly and think I've adapted very well. The only time you could tell I'm an Aspie is when you see me at home.

Nearly everyone has a 'social life', but in differing levels of health. Mines stable, in the medical sense of the word.

Due to going to a school over 50 miles away from my home, I've ended up with lots of what I'd call friends, but I can't actually meet up with them. I've only been invited to one party (<10 age does not count), and that was someone who I'd practically only just met (she was a cousin of a friend I'd known nearly all my life, though). I rarely get invited anywhere; again that is partly due to my school (I have to stay there during the week). When I did get invited somewhere last, I only spoke to two people, one of whom was my brother. The other person I knew the least out of everyone there. The reason? They were the only people I could have an interesting conversation with.

This is why I keep looking for drugs! I have a friend who is a dealer, but I wish I could just buy some off of him! :x Or why not get the medical kind and just sell that and trade it for more drugs!

I do not have a social life at all.

I usuallly go out with friends to the movies or ice skating. I go out to birthday parties.

If there are boys going with my friends and I, i usually don't go.

I never go to the socials. I went to my school social in year 8.

I nevery went to a social again.

I would rather stay and at and watch movies.

I'm actually going to a semi formal in October.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING!! !! !!

That night is gonna be really weird.

Not as much as I used to. I left this group I used to be a part of a few years ago and kind of lost closeness with those friends as a result, except for my cousin who is still a part of it because we're super close. And the good friends from high school that I still talk to and ocassionally hang out with when they're not working or away at school are people I've known since we were kids, some since I was 6. It doesn't help that I moved about 30 miles away from said old friends, so I really don't see them as much as I used to or would like. And I haven't made close friends in college so far, but I have acquaintances (even when I meet people and seem to think it's going somewhere, I always end up feeling like I've weirded them out already) and I'll take that for now. Even though I try, I feel like I don't always pick up on social cues, so that may or may not have something to do with it. Like sometimes when I run into people I know who seem to be wandering around school because they're not sure what to do with their free time, and we're talking and they're lingering, but I was planning on going home, and I later on I kind of think maybe I should have asked them if they wanted to do something, but I don't because I'm not very good at that and how on earth am I supposed to know what they want if they don't say so....[shrug]

I only have a few friends...we don't have much in common. I feel like we are drifting.

When I was a young teen, I did not. I'd play videogames after school for the rest of the afternoon and maybe watched some TV and that was it. I never really had a social life until I got a job a few years later where I was forced to be a little social. The job has certainly helped me and I've met a few people I can probably call friends but even today, I still spend the majority of my time alone when I'm not working or am not at college.
