That would be platypodes. But don't ask me how to pronounce that in English.

Hello I am fairly new to this community. Im trying to get to know some people and possibly find somone to have a relationship with. Im courantlly starting school to be a massage therapist and I will use that to finance my going to collage for computer programing as somthing to fall back on. I like doing martial arts, playing video games and watching anime. Im not realy the social type but u cant realy find a relationship if u dont socialise so im giving it a shot. Im looking for a mature woman that doesnt like playing games and wants a guy who will treat her right and with respect. I beleive a real relationship is based on compatability and friendship more then sex so i guess you could call me old fashion. I like Techno music and some Rock but genraly music without words. I have strong moral values but im definatly not a prude. I believe that sociaty is going down hill verry fast and find rap music repulsive and vulgar and im definatly not racist I just believe that anything glorifying drugs/gangs and degrading women is pure ignorance and find it verry unfortunate that it is so popular. Like most bad things im sure there is some good in it but the majority i have heard is repulsive. Rock music is ok but there is alot of negative lyrics in it which is why I like techno mostly because there usualy isnt any words just sounds a beat and bass.
Bonjour. Female, 16 in 20 days, too young for the good majority here *sulk*, 5'1, probably gay possibly bi.
*whistles trying to think of good traits* I'm loveably awkward, speak a little Russian, play many instruments, have practised a good few martial arts, dark eyes and dark hair with annoyingly pale skin.
I adore reading, writing, domesticated animals (especially rats!! !) & veterinary medicine, psychopharmacology, drug harm reduction & drug policy reform. I also practice photography, and video games a lot - although I'm shockingly terrible at it. My church is like my family and clinical psychology & neuroscience are pretty cool.
Hoping to become a healthcare professional.
If you're clinically insane you'll be interested.

Location: Dallas Metroplex
Sleep-deprived, frequent insomniac
High-Functioning Aspie female
44
Single parent of 12-year old Aspie male (also high-functioning)
Dallas, TX metroplex (US)
Attractive (was a plus-size model, once upon a time)
Snappy dresser, well-groomed (us Aspie females learn how to imitate very well!!)
Brunette (long) with brown eyes
Interests: camping, fishing, road trips, music (but don't like pop or rap much. Gimme alternative, rock, jazz or classical any day). Sci Fi ROCKS, as do period films such as Kingdom of Heaven, Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, King Arthur (Director's Cut for all). I sometimes sit alone and count how many different sounds I can hear and identify when the house is supposedly "silent".
Hobbies: beading, singing in the shower, before life got too busy I was decent on the guitar and piano (ear)
Pets: one amazing Stabyhund
Education: Bachelor of Fine Arts
Career: Bean counter/auditor (go figure??)
Faith: Christian
Strengths: Honest, sincere, integrity in spades, pensive, affectionate, high IQ, open-minded and curious, walking information sponge. I love to take things apart and find out how they work. I once replaced the motor in a '76 Jaguar, so I'm not afraid of thinking or getting dirty. I love science and would relish someone I could talk about things like that to -- like dark matter. I can't find anyone that's interested. Everyone I know says I'm odd, eccentric, etc... but in a good way. I am pathologically self-reliant in many areas, and although I feel weak on the inside, many say I'm the strongest person I know. I'm not sure why (exactly, since I think I work pretty hard to look feminine), but gay/bi women have a tendency to chase after me. I'm not even bi-curious, so that one stumps me. Straight all the way, thank you very much.
I've been divorced 10 years. Relationships are a LOT of work, so I'm not the kind who has to be in a relationship to feel whole. I'm only going to get in a relationship with someone I feel incredibly attracted to, and have a lot in common with.
Weaknesses: Poor time management (due to hyperfocus -- I lose track of time); as with many Aspies, my intentions/motives are often misunderstood or misinterpreted. I have to be very social/talkative at work, so when I get home I like to be on the quiet side. No problem with music, movies, etc... but I'm not a big talker once I get home (if I'm tired). I can make eye contact, but if I have to do it for prolonged periods of time it DRAINS me.
More which you may consider a plus (or minus): I love physical affection, but need some sort of warning/preparation. Don't like to be blind-sided. I'm very handy around the house and can fix just about anything I can reach. I've repaired major appliances, wall sockets, cars, and plumbing. People find that a little intimidating sometimes. I can often tell what's wrong with a car by the sound it makes and the way it behaves when I drive it. I'm also facsinated by the human body and how it works. Love to learn more about it when I can.. If I ever get downsized, I will most likely go back to school to become a nurse practitioner.
Honesty, integrity and character are PARAMOUNT to me. While I can forgive a tiny white lie in the interest of keeping an explanation simple, I will not forgive infidelity or large-scale dishonesty. It's a one-strike rule. I will not hold you to a higher standard than I hold myself, so I know I'm not being too hard on this one.
Everything I've read about Aspie girls suggests we do better with younger men rather than those our age or older. (Just great... I'm SUPPOSED to be a cougar?!?!) That's fine, because I don't have much in common with people my own age. I'm a bit turned off by how old they look and act. I suspect I'd have a much easier time with an Aspie male, because his oddities will mirror my own, to some extent. He will most likely 'get' my impatience with things that don't make sense or people that seem too lazy to think (as opposed to actually having a learning disability). He will also most likely understand my need for SOME alone time, as well as my need for personal space (which needs warning/invitation before it is encroached on -- ESPECIALLY when I'm concentrating on something).
My most pronounced Aspie traits (that still interfere) are sensitivity to sounds and visual stimulus. When I'm concentrating, either have the potential to derail me. If you're an Aspie, you know what I mean.
I'm pretty good at sensing when I'm reaching overload and verbalizing it, so there shouldn't be any big surprises. I'd like someone (ideally) who is capable of the same. Eccentricities are welcome. As a matter of fact, they're pretty cool. I prefer eccentrics to NT's (who I find incredibly boring).
I have one child I support with no assistance. No offense, but I can't afford to support anyone else, financially. You must be reasonably stable (all things considered), and gainfully employed.

Well, I certainly don't see the point or the means of getting a relationship out of a thread on the internet, and frankly I don't want to, but I'm "advertising", I guess, here in case anyone interested just wants to talk and PM. I've never had a relationship...so talking with someone who's interested would be awesome.
I'm 17 (18 next month) and gay. I have Aspergers and am depressed. I really don't do many things, but I am very passionate about adventure games and anything creatively artistic. Whether it's stories, or pictures, or music especially. I want to make music with meaningful lyrics and clothes that say something about me, though I would need motivation first. And of course I want to make adventure games.

You wouldn't happen to live in Washington state, would you?
ok,, my name is colin.
i'm 22 years old, I'm strait and i currently live in minnesota.
i guess I'm posting this cause lately i've felt like i cant really relate to any one one and i would just like to meet some one like me. perhaps its not the most realistic goal, but i have to at least try, right?
anyways I'm not necessarily looking for any kind of relationship, although i wouldn't be opposed to the idea if the opportunity presented itself. i guess I'm a little skeptical that i would find such a thing on this thread but what ever.
I'm 5' 10",longer brown hair, blue eyes, athletic build. i like to ride bike and horse (although its been a little while since i've been out to the farm to ride). I'm very passionate about ceramics and 3D art in general. i am also currently going to school to pursue a career as a ceramic artist. i enjoy being outdoors. i cant sit still for to long. lately i've been working on a story board for a sort of psychedelic animation i would to create (its been slow going and i've only drawn a few panels). i've never made one but i think you can do almost anything you put your mind to. I'm pretty laid back for the most part. I'm a Capricorn and my favorite color is blue. that enough about me, i want to hear from you,,,
New to the board and new to this, will do the best I can do to describe myself.

I'm not exactly sure how to do this, since I've never done anything like this before. Although I do wish this does something, I honestly don't expect to get much out of it. If I'm too nervous to approach someone, what's to say that people on here aren't the same way?
You know, I tried writing something out and I realized that much of what I wanted to put was just something I put in the questions about yourself thread, so I'll just move some of that over here.
What is your first name? Bryan
Age: 23
Location: Connecticut, USA
Hobbies and Interests:
I love stories of any form--books, movies, TV, or games. As long as it is good I will probably enjoy it in one way or another (emphasis on the good), but I do enjoy stories with some sort of sci-fi or fantasy element with deeply built characters more. I also greatly enjoy just learning about the world around me. I like many of the shows on the History channel, Discovery, or National Geographic. Though of course I do still like to watch cartoons as long as they are good. Razz And I also enjoy playing games on PS3 and PC. I enjoy playing World of Warcraft, although not nearly as often as I used to. And of course I love to write and make stories of my own.
I like anything that has to do with science or nature or history. I can't stand anything related to businesses and so on--it just seems so boring and pointless to me.
My favorite TV show is by far Avatar: The Last Airbender. I know almost everything about it, and after several years I am still not bored of it. For movies I love anything made by Pixar. They are like my idol and I learn a lot by watching the special features.
I love anything by Stephen King, although I haven't read as many of his books as I wanted to. I also love Harry Potter and when I was younger used it as an escape from my real life. It gave me the inspiration to want to be an author one day, and I already have the first book of a very in depth five part series already written. It's just hard to find somebody these days without having published before. I honestly can't see myself doing anything else. Writing and creating stories is what I truly love, and I would never feel right if I did anything else.
I have a hard time approaching somebody I don't know, even online. That doesn't help when trying to make friends. I probably just post around here and there before awkwardly messaging someone.
Everyone calls me Ball. I don't look like one, but it fits somehow.
32 years, recently. 5'10" and currently a skinny 145 but hope to put back some muscle when my finger heals. Pretty normal proportions otherwise, well except this damned tongue.
I love rock climbing, mtbiking, camping, and other outdoor pursuits. I travel/wander a bit (most of lower 48 & 6 countries). I love metalworking and used to throw big pots. I also love using my computer (perhaps a bit too much) for programming, graphics, and endless articles on whatever. I used to read voluminously on dry non-fiction like economics, science, etc. With movies it's the opposite and I'm more into art, drama, comedy, sci-fi, or fantasy. I try to give any artist's work a decent shake before declaring him or her a talentless hack.
My last 9-5 was computer programming, my last odd job was construction. Former payed a lot more, but the latter kept me outside.
My last relationship lasted over a year. We got along well and had some great times, but we seemed to have different desires beyond the carnal so I broke it off. C'est la vie.
Some random facts. See if the spaghetti/shotgun method nets any response:
Very quiet (been called a ninja) unless you get a beer in me. I'm better at remembering historical dates than my own past. I'm fairly handy. I can design things in my head. I get along with a diverse group of NTs. I enjoy activities more than hanging out (please don't invite me to a bar unless it's to play darts or pool or foosball or tongue wrestling). When I have a beard it looks like it has every color and shape in the human genome. I've been told I have expressive eyebrows.
Usual AS things like I take things literally, certain noises bother me (although a lot less than before), obsessive, social awkwardness, faux pas machine.
Goals: I want to be self-employed so I can travel and live where I want. I have various projects going on, always have, always will. Currently working on a PV array and methods to improve fuel economy. I want to experience and appreciate new things, and live without regrets. I'd love to share life's more intimate experiences and get out of my own head, but I'm also content having fun with friends.
Gonna drop a quick post here....
...Basically, I'm 23 years old. In a town about 30-40ish miles away from Fort Worth, TX. If you want pics, go here(my profile one is my most recent, which was last year)
http://www.facebook.com/#!/aldent2
Anyway, thats me.
I love comic books, video games, manga, anime,cartoons, listening to the news(sxephil on YouTube got me involved in that, and then Newsvine even more, with Slashdot following closely), listening to music, watching tv(in fact, trying to finish out my games collection so I can start on my tv show discs collection...I have quite a bit to go on both) and being on the internet, as well as occasionally playing basketball or baseball(well, me throwing a ball in the air and hoping I can hit it, which sometimes I can, sometimes I can't)
I also recently started doing more excercises, and will soon start working out, because, as you can see from the picture, I'm a bit on the hefty side(not huge, my biggest and current is 215)
I'm kind of like a multilayer cake. there are many different sides to my interests. These are the ones I will be doing in my free time+ drinking(although I don't drink much, and mostly either at home or at restaurants with mini bars,so they wouldn't have to worry about me going to an all out bar and getting smashed with some girl, ladies ;D) I also like to cook(although I am not very good..,...my mom just recently started teaching me how this past year, and I just haven't had time/energy to make anything past tacos.....hoping to take a culinary course after I finish my Associates and get into a good job, then onto my Bachelors and potentially my Masters afterwards....I love to eat!! !(my favorite is bread, ladies ;D)) I also like to play basketball or head out to the batting cages, and sometimes golf(although I suck at it) and tennis(also suck somewhat at this) Another thing I like to do is read a good book. I also like being out on the town, walking around looking around the different shops, and I'm a coffee addict(although it must have quite a bit of sugar and creamer =S) I don't dance much, but thats because I don't know how and feel because of that I look like an idiot, but when I dance at home by myself or with friends, I always have fun. I also am looking into going on more Mission trips with my church(Baptist, but I'll do any denomination, as it Church of Christ are the only 2 I've joined in, and I like Baptist better so far)
I'm pretty quiet, and sometimes you have to tell me EXACTLY what you want me to do, and I do it in that specific order unless you specify otherwise. I also have a little bit of a bad attitude towards people, but mostly stupid people who don't use their common sense when doing things that, if done wrong, could hurt someone else(such as wreckless driving....OH DO NOT get me started on wreckless drivers)
I also started college at Weatherford College this past Spring, and this fall will be my 2nd semester(3rd if you include the US History 1 class I took during Summer 1 semester) to be a database/hardware programmer(I LOVE tech, and will soon start working on more hardware, software, and network hacks and programs....I used to do it a lot, but my skills have gotten rusty as of late because:(down below)
I just(like, 3or 4 weeks ago) got out of a 2 1/2 year relationship, and I really cared for this girl. I still miss her, but she has been a lesbian all her life, and, thanks to her trying to be a good Christian, tried to ignore that, because for some reason, she fell in love with me. She couldn't deny this any longer, and left me(we're still friends, but we have barely anything in common aside from we both like reading and we like fantasy stuff) to pursue a life as an out of the closet lesbian.
I had been thinking about leaving her for awhile, because she has A LOT of pets(6 guinea pigs, 5 ferrets, 6 dogs, 2 rats, and possibly a chinchilla here soon) and she dropped out of college and REFUSES to get a job at anywhere but a pet store or somewhere where she will work with pet-type animals(which there is ONE pet store in our town, and she can't work there right now, because her drug addict aunts(one from each side of her family) work there. She is also partially blind in her right eye, so she can't drive, and lives with her grandma on her mom's side, who also can't drive, because she has some weird phobia of driving(not sure what you call that....not trying to offend anyone here) So she lives off of her SSD checks, $600 something a month, and refuses to get a job, essentially, while having all those pets(and believe me, the guinea pigs stuff alone gets f***ing EXPENSIVE) and wanting to buy herself tons of clothes, essentially on my dime(since I would be her primary caretaker had we gotten married)
But when this came about I was still upset, just not as much as I thought I would be about it.
So anyway, I think I'm about ready to move on, so I thought I'd throw a post up here, describing me. If you want some more info on me, add me on Facebook and we'll chat.
I would like to find an ASD girl who is faithful, preferably good looking but NOT at all required, looks don't matter to me as much as personality and compatibility with my interests, has some or most of my interests(and for the record, I can watch chick flicks..in fact, I used to love watching them with my now exes, so no worries there ladies ;D) and who is either working or in college or both, like myself.
I may not end up getting my degree, or it will go to a complete waste unless I can find something that I can work my own hours with at home, as the grocery store chain I will be starting out as a bagger for is GREAT(H-E-B) and I already love the company and we haven't even opened the store I will be working at(it opens in September) so I think I may have some advancement opportunities there, only time will tell.
Anywho back to the girl. Like I said earlier, ASD(I will date NTs, just figured I will probably get more ASDs looking on here) and either in college, working, or both, possibly willing to travel(I live with my parents still, for now, so they are paying for my gas for now, so I can't go too many places aside from work and school(which is a town away, in Weatherford)
Also, if you're interested in providing looks(again, not required) I'd like at least the following criteria met:
A) My weight or smaller, if not, not TOO much bigger than I am(preferably nothing over like 235ish) and willing to excercise and diet the weight off with me(I don't want my girl to croak on me because she is overweight or whatever,not a selfish reason)
B) I LOVE girls with solid hair colors, but if it is mixed, I like that too. I just like solid colors more for hair color. Again, hair color not a big issue.
Also, pics if possible, if not very descriptive descriptions.
Will post again later.
EDIT: Also, no PERMANENT online relationships please. A few months of bad planning or just not having a ride or whatever is fine, but a year of online only or more is ridiculous. Also, preferable if you have a car or a ride with no life so they can basically take you anywhere, anytime.
Wow, that got long.... Oh well.
Oh also, feel free to add me on Facebook if you like. Always looking for new friends =)
Hello everyone.
I'm Emilie and I live in Orlando Florida. I'm a UCF alumini now and am working on my Masters with UOP. I'm 27 years old and been officially divorced for almost two years now. It's probably time for me to start dating again. There's nobody here worth dating honestly. They all hang on the beach or are into big expensive things and those aren't my interests. I like relaxing at home and staying away from all the noise and the crowds. There's nothing more peaceful than my apartment during the day when I've shut all the blinds and curtains. I just have clean spaces and silence. I enjoy reading science fiction fantasy novels. I like Harry Potter but I've never lost my mind about it. I met the cast of Harry Potter before the ride opened and they were all very nice people. I also like to write science fiction fantasy but my stuff isn't good enough to show anyone. I participate in NaNoWriMo every year. I like scented candles, dark rooms, and really hot baths. The only truly expensive thing that I bought for my house was a hot tub. I couldn't care about having anything else expensive or nice in this place. I just like soaking in the hot tub at night when there's no neighbors or sounds or traffic.
I don't know what kind of guy I like. Someone quiet and kind who doesn't needpeople over all the time. I'd like someone who wouldn't cheat on me or expect me to be someone I'm not. He doesn't have to like everything that I like but he has to understand that I do like what I like. Does that make sense? And I don't like getting picked on or teased. It's hurtful. Other people in this thread have mentioned sex so I like sex but I just don't want to have sex in the car or elsewhere in public. I don't think that's prudish. I think that's sensible. I don't care what he believes but religion is not a big part of my life. I'm agnostic so I don't really care if there's a god or any kind or whatever. So, I'm fine with someone believing whatever they want to believe as long as they don't demand that I believe it too. And I'm not somebody's project.
That's all I can think to say. Hi.
