It sucks having not much in common with other aspies

Or a anyone for that matter.

maybe u had not yet met somebody, who clicks with u, or maybe u had met them, but did not well, open to click with them. thats a feature of us, no?) shell up and hide. and defences really mess with ur perception. i was shocked how many people turned out to care about me when i lost mine. wont tell u to try, its not an easy (or even doable by choice) thing to do. but maybe think about it)

Everyone n the spectrum is different. None of us are exactly alike. It would be a dull world if we were. You don't have to agree 100% was ith someone in order to be friends, or more. Many friendships and relationships involve folk who have different hobbies, ideologies and ideas.

It might help if you interact with people here in other parts of the forums rather than the haven and love and dating. I think that people here just haven't got to know the real you.

Why don't you start a thread on animals? Foxes maybe?

and ya people i call friends or close contacts are ranging from 20 to 60 in age, come from every culture, can be of different genders (tho somehow most of them are male, or nominally male, dunno why, we just put that aside), and have a wide variety of neurological builds (from obviously NT and to many variations of ND). what matters is that we accept each other. we enjoy our differences and how we can still have fun togather. we all try to understand each other's perks. we give each other all the slack needed. most of us are shelled up or outright spikey to outside world, but we lay that apart when we are among ourselves, because we trust each other. maybe not allways to a degree "tell me all ur darkest secrets, and i tell u mine", but enough to know that we are safe when togather. but ya to get to that point sometimes takes years. years of casual contact that gradually grows less casual. look around, maybe u have friends, u just dont see them behind ur own raised defences) i didnt!

I talked about coins but scared everyone away.
Same with other topics I’ve tried.
Most aspies are into reading or computers and I’m not.

thats why i dont bother with politics))) we just dont talk about it, snap, all ok)))

You’re okay, Sly.

Hurtloam doesn’t like people too easily. And you’re on the list of people she likes.

You must be doing something right.

(Even though you can be a pain in the butt lol)

well i like him too) xd and i am one really paranoid witch xd

Happy Thanksgiving, Sly.

My testing score is 28 on the AS scale, which puts me in an in-between place. I believe that is a correct placement.

Yes, autism is different from other disorders or disease in that everyone is so different.

Yet it is hard for many Aspies to find friends on special interest forums, because are interests are often too narrow and our postings are too long.

You could find a forum or community centered around one or more of your interests. You're bound to find at least a few people on the spectrum there, whether they know it or not.

I've seen plenty of people on other forums who are openly autistic, or seem like they are...there are even a couple who post here at WP.


I have two coins in front of me right now, BTW, that I had found at work. One is a Brasil Real (2013), and the other is a Honduras 50 cent (1994).

Yeah, I really can't find "my kind" either... I was even kinda eccentric compared to other bird scientists when I worked in that field.

please forgive me if im pressing smth wrong, but why do all u peeps try to only find connections irl, with who u meet there? if i did that, i'd be doomed. everything good in my life has started on the net. everything. u are shackling urselves! please forgive me again if i shouldnt say that.
