Talk about yourself for a bit

Post Reply New Topic

Let's see.....

My name is Joe. I live in Northeatern Pennsylvania, and recently (finally) became employed as a Level I Tech Support Rep. Outisde work, I don't really do much, just try to spend a little quality time with my kids, and do my best to cope with all the changes going on in my life....and believe me, that ain't easy. You see....both of my children were diagnosed ASD (My daughter as autistic with speech apraxia, and my son as PDD-NOS with a bit of ODD and ADHD to boot), and my ex-wife (who is a member of WP and actually introduced me to this site) recently officially was diagnosed with ASD. Looking back on my own life, as introverted as i seemed, or as "shy" as people thought i was, i am more and more convinced, looking at my children, that I too believe i am on the spectrum. While i believe i am high functioning, as I am capable of holding down a job, and to an extent tent to cope better than most when forced into a social situation, I tend to shy away from interactions, and prefer being at home to going out to crowded places. I'm also a relatively picky eater...mostly due to sensory issues not just from the tastes of certain foods, but the textures or smells that make me sick. Relationships are difficult. I was with my ex for 12 years, married for 8 before we separated, and although she will blame my ever-constant obsession with computers as the downfall, in all honesty, she just wants different things than me. I am more of the type of guy that is happy staying at home and watching a good movie or a funny TV show (alone or with someone close and comfortable with) than going out somewhere and doing something. I just feel more comfortable at home than in a crowded environment.

So here I am, dealing with a constant influx of change, something very different from my former "everything is planned out decades in advanced for me" life. Just trying to find friends, and maybe a relationship in the process, and trying to move on with life in a world that seems to constantly work against me.

I'm sure there's more i could say, but that's me in a nutshell. Just an honest and trusting guy who wears who he is on his sleve.

well, let's see, i'm 23, from San Leandro, in CA, i'm a Psychology B.A. graduate from SF state, i like playing games, i love lots of different music but specifically tehcno, trance, dance, electronica, some hip hop, and alot of different rock save for the screaming type, i like alot of different movies, and i watch a good deal of tv but specifically Adventure Time, Regular Show, Dexter and House. I like dancing, i like singing, and when the rare chance happens i like to go to the clubs to listen to awesome techno music and dance (with Earplugs of course). I've been playing alot of WoW as of late, looking for a job, and sort of but not really looking for a new relationship. My first relationship lasted about a year and 9months while the last two only lasted about a month with a 7 month gap between the first and 2nd. I'm still sort of kinda working through my depression. I have a car and can drive, use to have anxieties about driving but i actually drive better with music on. In the future, once i get funds, i plan to go back to SF state to work on my masters in Sexuality Stuides. I actaully found out about this forum through this Asperger's group at my local Kaiser in Union City, so i figured i try this place out. not just for dating but just for other thing in the Aspie world, ya know? like fellow gamers, and music and movie fans and the such, but yea, i can't think of anything else at the moment, if i do, or if you want to know more you can pm me /shrugs

Hey peeps. My name is Brian.

Soccer
Dubstep, retro, and pop music

My cat Daisy, who is always there in tough times :*)

I have brown hair, blue AND hazel eyes, extremely short (4'10") and 88 lbs.

That's about it.

You *sure* you want that?

Well okay....so..... a female acqaintence invites me to downtown Cleveland last night to go to an art walk, I had a few beers waiting for her and her friends to show up, we walk around checking galleries - which was cool - we go to Melt, have 2,000 calorie dinners and a few more beers and....OMG did I feel super-fat. Today I've had...lets see...four mini moon pies, half a Subway club, some beef jerky, a Fiesta Burrito from Taco bell, and a can of Sparks. Feeling a little less fat today but still otherwise blimp-o.



And people wonder why I don't get into Twitter....

If you wanna follow me or know the fine details you've got serious psychological issues

Oops, nm. I *tried* Skyrim, controls went way over my head. Think I'll go get a frozen yogurt instead. Excellent!!

Engineers are the worst people to date, seriously.

I've never checked this thread out. How does it work, exactly? I just state random things about myself?

I can't meet a girl. I'm 21. I keep in good shape. I dress appropriately - I'd say smart casual. I live alone in a bachelor suite in a good area of the city.

I don't go to the bars, or anywhere really. I don't have many friends, and the ones I do have already have their gf.

I'm going to school soon. University hopefully. I'm upgrading my social and english soon. I want to take Philosophy as a major and Economics as a minor.

I've asked girls out in real life. Everywhere. I've tried lots of different approaches.

Now I've just stopped asking. I've tried online dating several times. More than several I'd say. That's just a mild way of putting it.

I feel hopeless. I feel like i'll never get to be with a good looking girl (attractive to me) My standards aren't even high. It's basically just be physically appealing to me and think outside the box. I love a girl who listens to classic rock and thinks outside the norm.

But I live in a city - similar to austin. Where oil is one of our biggest exports. Alberta. Oil Country. The Oilers. Fort McMurray. Lots of the girls are "cow girls" or "country girls." But of course I know that's not the big picture problem - it's obviously me, I'm just not sure what it IS about ME that's not making the connection from A to B

I've never had good sex either. Never had an erection during intercourse. I've forced myself in the past years to be with girls I wasn't attracted to because we had a great friendship or I met them off the internet and it kind of just happened...

Hey all,

Does anyone else think that writing an essay about ourselves is a bit weird? Me too

I'm 23, just graduating from university, as an engineer. I am diagnosed with AS but through extreme effort, I have overcome it, and am now indistinguishable from a neuro-typical individual. My life is in a pretty awesome position right now, so the main reason I'm becoming a member here is to share my experience and help out fellow Aspergerians.

I look forward to good times ahead with you all!

20, Unemployed, had previous relationships so I have knowledge. Out on the occasion, dress accordingly, in a good place at the moment. Likes rock music, plays guitar. Fun to be around, can be a pain but makes up for it.
WLTM 18 to 25 year old for LTR and to find the love I was searching for from the start.
