I spend a ridiculous amount of time here, too - the only other things I do online is email occasionally, watch youtube or research. It's just that recently, ASD people are the only ones I find any common ground with and for a second don't feel like such a freak. I'm pretty much a different species to NTs around me.

My case as well, but there're the times that hanging out here and being 'normal' seems to exacerbate 'abnormality' IRL.

@the OP - Welcome to the long haul! You can learn a lot from theses forums!
