Really want to meet aspies so badly:(

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, so I have no idea why I assume that it would be fun to meet other aspies, but I think its because I had enough of the lonliness and the fact that I have never experienced it before. My university doesn't have an aspergers group so I have no idea how to meet other aspies. Its just nice to make a post here.

hi, I had a same though with you before I met any aspies, and I met them, and it's awesome! I love them

I've meet another Aspie before it was pretty great, it made me wish we had an entire city with just AS people living there. I really wounder what it would feel like to live in a place like that.

I'd also like to meet other aspies, as well. I want to do it, as a unique experience.

I hope that you'll be able to do that.

Let's invade Tasmania, we can live there after we kick all the NT's out

I wanted to meet other aspies since I was 13 or 14 and I finally met one when I was 15. But then I realized I may have known another aspie when I was in elementary school but he seemed to be severe since whenever you explain things to him, it was talking to a brick wall and he just had difficulty understanding instructions and why it's this way or that way such as why he needs to finish his school work first before he gets on the computer or why he should listen to the music teacher on how to play the xalaphone (sp) by telling us what notes to play. Plus he acted more selfish and didn't care about other peoples property so he use someone's markers roughly than being gentle. Plus he was always alone.

I don't think I've met other Aspies, but who knows? My GF has AS but i haven't actually met her in person but I plan on it soon. She's so awesome:)

My best friend has AS but he isn't a member of this site. I don't want to reveal his real name so I'll just call him Cyclops from now on here. I've known Cyclops since I was seven and we went to a special school together. He can be rigid and anoying at times, but he stayed fathful to me even when I was a total jerk to him and went crazy. At one point when I went crazy and abandoned him He called my mom and told her "If Stu ever needs anything he can talk to me." The fact that he never turned on me no matter how much of a jerk I was to him is all I need to say he's my best friend.

I've met many other aspies in person. Some I've met have been somewhat aggrivating, but most I've met have been good, loveable folk. The aspies I've met are all quite different from each other, but fortunately I've been able to meet some that share some things in common with me. The thing I like most about other aspies is that they never call me an idiot.

Unfortunatley all of the aspies I've spoken with in real life have been male. Never spoken with a conformed lady aspie in person - just on this site.

EDIT: Here's one thing I've noticed about the AS guys I've met in person. Most of them seem either incredibly bitter or soft and fuzzy. It's as if we all meet adversity at some point in our lives and some of us respond my mirroring our environment while others of us respond by seeing the bullies as wrong and trying to be part of the solution. I must say that I am of the latter and not the former. I wonder if this dualism exists in females too...

Where in Canada do you happen to live?

I haven't really known any Aspies offline. I knew someone when I was a kid who was an Aspie but I didn't know anything about AS at the time & I don't think she did either. Our parents wer friends & kind of got busy so we lost touch for a looong time. I hung out with her a few times thou like 7 years ago but I haven't heard from her sense; she probably got busy. We got along OK & she seemed to have some of the same issues as me with things. I would like to meet others with AS but Aspergers awareness is horrible here. People tend to think it's mental retardation. Even so-called experts seem to know/understand very little about it

I hear you, the only people I know that are AS are in the family.

Good idea! I love Tazzie always wanted to live there.

You probably have met other Aspies, or at least seen them, but you just didn't know it because we're not exactly the social type. But we are everywhere, I doubt it'd really be that hard for you to find other Aspies.

Come to Australia and meet Melbi


It is the same here. When I tell people in uni that I have AS, they're like,but you're not stupid?!


many psycholigists I'd seen before have little understanding and sympathytowards AS It was a horrible experience. I'm now seeing clinical psychologists specialised in AS and autism, they are much better.

I'm in Waterloo now, sometimes I'm in Oakville (near Toronto)

Thanx for the idea but Australia is very far from me. I mite would consider going that kind of distance if there was more than a friendship. I'm willing to relocate most anywhere for a relationship but things would have to be very serious.

When I was in school(especially the younger grades) a lot of my classmates thought I was stupid & I was called ret*d often.

I couldn't get an official AS diagnoses when tested & most of the docs I saw said I communicated to well verbally to have anything on the autism spectrum. I have a lot of the main symptoms thou & I had a speech delay & was in speech therapy till I went to high-school(I could of still continued it cuz my speaking was not perfect but I would of had to go down the street to the elementary school for it). I kind of suspect I could have classic autism but apparently autistics are believed by docs here not to be able to communicate verbally. I heard something 1ce about how higher functioning autistics here tend to get misdiagnosed as schizophrenic but not sure if there's any truth to that. It's very hard to find others who could have AS or autism when most people including the experts can not identify/diagnoses it. I quit seeing docs & taking meds over a year & a half ago & I find I'm much better off without any of it. The health care here in Louisiana is atrocious, especially for mental stuff
