I can spend hours on wrong planet every day reading what people say but I'm not really addicted to it. I have little else to do so it stops me going crazy with boredom but if there was something to take my interest I could be away from here for a few months with no withdrawal symptoms. :)

Addiction is not the word I would chose.

Moved to Wrong Planet. I found my world.

I have been here a year, came in when the planet was not yet three, at 7000, 500 online, and since then 10000 have shown up, 2000 online.

It fills a need.

Sometimes I get depressed being here though, because a lot of you are limited in what you can do in the "NT world" and I fear that I can't be successful because of my disorder.

Hopefully this can cheer you up, I'm learning social skills and am apparently making progress. In fact, I'm starting to believe my social limits in the NT world will soon be crushed. If I can do it ebec11, so can you and anyone else for that matter! :D

By the way, I'm addicted to Wrong Planet. It has cost me deprived me of sleep some nights.

There are successful aspies out there, you just have to find the right niche.

Winging around the Wrong Planet topic

I like what this sphere of inclusion has done to my brain. :D
I may yet be a social being.
I must go now and pm a member.

Yet, I still haven't made a lot of friends in the 4 years I've been here.

I like this site, it's nice to talk about the things I like without having to worry about boring someone.

Totally and completely addicted with no possible recourse or hope for cure. It's okay. I'm in my own world here and people get me here. It's good to be the queen, lol.

Yeah, I do spend a lot of time on this site . . . . It's like a secret, separate life in addition to the rest of my life. But I'm not sure I'd call it an addiction.

I've noticed that when I started posting here, I stopped writing in my journal. When I can't access this site, I do write in my journal again. I don't write about the same things, but it evidently fulfills the same need.

My husband calls it an addiction. Whenever I can't deal, I'm on here with you guys. He complains I use you guys to escape from him. He's partially right. No one on here has ever told me that not being able to deal with something makes me stupid or weird. He never says it, but it sits unsaid between us like a big ugly lump of something completely undesireable and socially unacceptable. I know he's thinking it. I shut down and close up when I can't deal with things and it makes it impossible to communicate with him. He wouldn't get it even if I could tell him anyway.
