Can people with aspergers have interest as nerds

Post Reply New Topic

Yes I do consider my self one because of my obsession with Sci-FI Horror fantasy Video games Superhero's so I'm kind of like Sheldon Cooper also have a obsession with 80's culture that would similar to the movie Adam because of his obsession With Astronomy and I know someone named Steven at my work called Beacon group that plays magic the gathering and draws Anime pictures

...Yes?

I ment I consider myself a Nerd

Well, yeah. People with aspergers can be nerds too. They aren't mutually exclusive. I'm a nerd, too.

I'm like the opposite of a nerd...I can't function in the society I live in, but i don't have any genius abilities to make up for it.

Nerds FTW!

I consider myself a nerd. A theater nerd, but a nerd.

I spend too much time on the internet and playing video games. I also love math and science. I guess that makes me a nerd. XD

Generally that's the way it works, most Aspies tend to be nerds, and it so happens to be the easiest society group to fit into or whatever. In my experience, most nerds like Aspies, and most Aspies like nerds. That said, my problem with "nerds" these days and hanging around them, is the situation usually looks like this:



That said, I'm kinda nerdy, but I don't "look" nerdy and I have lots of very non-nerd interests too. That, and because my special interests/hobbies tend to be VERY specific, I won't be able to relate well to even the "nerds" around me. IE, I listen to lots of older Japanese pop, but not much modern Japanese pop, so even if I find someone that likes Japanese music, it's hard to find anyone that likes the specific music I do. So yeah, it's quite weird, because it's like I'm half really cool, and half really super pens in front pocket with a pocket protector nerdy. Can't win 'em all I guess.
