Lol, sometimes I forget this thread even exists, all the same I suppose its still worth checking in once in a while and mentioning that I'm still here. 31/M/Straight/Cleveland, work as an accountant/auditor full time, travel locally to some extent with the rare punctuated trip somewhere far and distant.
I think for me its really about finding people I can relate to and who can relate to me, without that its not really worth much of anything. I'm pretty well balanced, tend toward the artsy side but also have a lot of guy things that I get involved in. For pass times I enjoy reading, watching a good movie, making music (as my name indicates I tend toward electronic - its not ALL that I'll listen to but its where my heart is at), trying out exotic restaurants and foods, I also enjoy museums and art exhibits when its there. I've also gotten into some rather enjoyable martial arts in the last two years which keeps me busy on the weekdays. There's more that I could talk about but I don't want to write a bio and leave people nothing to ask .
As for social life my traits are pretty mild so I'm a bit of a chameleon, I'd like to talk to someone who's similarly high functioning just in that I do like to go out to the clubs occasionally, not all the time but maybe once or twice a month.
If anyone is or has been interested just chat me up, either by pm or even indirectly on other parts of the forum however you wish.
hello ladies
I'm Kilroy, professional shark rider/underwater assassin
do you like adventure? do you want to see your man pick up a one ton bear and throw it off a mountain while at the same time making you a gourmet picnic from only foods from that mountain, in winter?
I thought so...

Well, I hate that I'm doing this, but hello.
My name is Ian and I'm 17. I was diagnosed with mild AS at 12 and seem to function well most of the time socially, unless I get uncomfortable. I'm a senior in high school and plan on going to school for Marine Biology, a longtime dream of mine. After college, I plan on getting a job at woods hole and perhaps become a researcher. I am into a lot of things and am very open to other things. I like to play pen and paper roleplaying games/tabletop games, I like Marine Biology, astronomy, biology, zoology, evolutionary biology, paleontology, cosmology, physics, astrophysics, theoretical physics, xenobiology, geology, writing, reading, Star Wars, Sci-Fi in general, Anime/Manga(Most anime and manga are too unoriginal, dull, or senseless for me), Fantasy, and some other stuff. My favorite activities are scuba diving, observing and studying wild animals, stargazing, choreographed sword-fighting, writing, reading, and playing tabletop games like Yugioh, D&D, and Warhammer.
I've never had a girlfriend because I'm too shy to ask and too eccentric. I don't really like the girls of my school all that much because they're mostly dull. I usually don't really want a girlfriend. I've never been desperate but I thought I'd try getting a girlfriend for once. hell I've been asked to be someone's boyfriend but turned them down because she was desperate and lied to maintain her self-esteem. She ended up with a good friend of mine, someone who's nerdy and desperate like her. So I decided that I might engage in a long distance sort of practice relationship with someone and see where that goes. I'm interested in someone who shares my interests(or has similar interests) and who is around my age 15-18.
Orientation: heterosexual
Weight: 152 lb(I'm a little flabby because I don't exercise and because a medication{Adderal} caused me to lose 20 pounds as a side-effect of taking it. Despite this, I am thin for my size.)
Height: 5'10"
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: Brown
Ethnicity: Spirish(my name for people with a mix of Celtic and Spanish ancestry)
Location: Florida, USA
Speaks: English, Spanish, some Mandarin
Understands: Portuguese, Catalan, a little German, Galician, Aragones, Italian

I think the introspection that others in this thread seem to be capable of is still a bit difficult for me, but I think i'll give it a try later once I collect the proper adjectives.
Sorry, I live on the other side of the planet.
I just noticed that you live in Michigan as I do. Where in?

Well, let's see...
I'm a 29 yr old black (not that it matters) female from northern NJ (very close to NYC though).
And as posted in my intro:
Personality wise, I've never been diagnosed as an Aspie, and in fact been told by most of my friends and family that I am crazy for thinking that I am. They brush it off as me joking. But the more I read up on the subject, and hear stories from others, the more I am certain that I am. I do have a lot of anxiety when it comes to social interactions and many other traits, but I think I have just learned how to hide it well over the years in order to fit in. At times it seems like I make friends easily, but in reality I tend to avoid many social situations (even at times with people I know), and definitely when it comes to personal relationships.
I like to read, travel, listen to music, go to movies, and things like that, or occasionally play video games. I don't drive, so I tend to hang out in New York city a lot as it is easier to get around.
Hello people,
I am a 6' 4" 260lb (healthy) 24yo mostly WM with hzl eyes (blue-green atm) and blk hair. Primary interest is in music though it is unrelated to my career, current playlist is Shpongle, The Knife, M83 and finally Sufjan. I enjoy some movies and I read occasionally. I'm not really into television, Fringe and Futurama are the only shows I keep up with now. I am from TN, working in AR atm, probably heading to OKC next, intent on staying westward... maybe as far as NZ! I am 420 friendly and a smoker. I do not drink.
I am diagnosed as an aspie but that's as far as I ever saw into it. I don't know what it means or care too much because I think the experience of life is more important than understanding it. I trust my dreams over my waking emotions because my life-long alienation drives me towards limerence anytime I meet someone. I prefer the elaborations of personalities I create in my imagination over what most people really are... moreover I prefer the personality I fancy for myself as opposed to the anxious, selfish being I really am.
I haven't dated in 4 years, the one serious relationship I had... she was bad at it, I was worse. I'm not really insecure with relationships, just usually not interested. The effort scares me more than anything. I'm not expecting anything to come out of this post which makes it easier to make. However I am bored, in the middle of nowhere, and would be very content with a small conversation.

51,6'1" 300 lbs (thanks to psychotropic drugs) on Social Security diability from California. Undiagnosed. Probably the most unappealing to women man in the United States. Knowledgeable in music and sports, but women don't care about those things.. Probably from the most ignorant about Asperger's county in the entire nation.
M/29
5'7
220 lbs
medium build
BA in English
Middle eastern looking
Not looking for a relationship or even friendship. I'm interested in just meeting other aspies, and networking. I live in Phoenix AZ, more toward Glendale, but I probably won't get a response because people are so chicken s**t and introverted they wouldn't want to even meet in public.

I'm a 22 year old male that enjoys learning about people and societies, and prefers hanging out with individuals over group settings if given a choice. I'm a rather simple guy who would rather go for a walk or go fishing than go to an amusement park and overcomplicate the idea of fun. Tennis and basketball are my sports of choice. Nothing is indecent for me, so people get offended by many things I say, even though I don't mean to be insensitive. Nudity has never bothered me. I think a penis is about as indecent to show as a middle finger. I think if you can talk to someone while naked, you can talk about anything. It's a lot easier to learn things when there is no hallowed ground, not even the troops are sacred for me, or democracy, or money, or life for that matter. So of course this offends people, but I continue to learn, and they don't.
I can be a little bit overbearing at times, and slightly controlling, but I don't mean to be. It all depends on how comfortable I am around someone. I can be very forgetful, and I get carried away way too often for my own liking. But everybody has weaknesses. I'm excellent at pattern recognition.
(Not that looks are everything, but since you didn't say anything about her I have nothing to comment on. )
She's one of the most loving people I've ever met, and incredibly talented (photography, cello, mathematics). She's also very spiritual, and completely understanding of my cognitive and emotional shortcomings. Lucky is quite the understatement. Thank you, dunbots.
