I see you live in Kent. I used to live in Auburn back in 07. I miss Washington so bad.

Wow, very lucky indeed.

Ooh cool. Yep, I've lived in either Renton, Kent, or Auburn all my life. You live in Texas now? Yeah, that's a big change in climate and environment from here. I love the forests and mountains here, and Seattle is a great city.

Elo, James here... Well I just recovered form a quite traumatic breakup so I thought I should post up my eligibility on here. I hope to be a very loving boyfriend. I'm 20 years old, about to be 21 in march. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIdUB8nNncI that is a video of me about a year ago, I've only changed a little bit. (Mainly just a haircut.) I can be a very affectionate person if I like you and have been known to go to great lengths just to do something for my gf. I do everything I can to make sure my special someone is happy, putting aside most of what I do to make time for them. All I ask in return is some love and affection. And I don't mean overt love and affection, I mean anything at all to show you care. A hug or kiss, sweet names and kind words. That's all I need to keep me satisfied, and I'll be sure to treat you well you can count on that. I love video games, history, weapons, ships and other more nerdy stuff. I live in Putney, Kentucky but long distance relationships are really no problem for me as if I like you enough I'll just fly over to see you ^^ (I'm not bluffing, I've done it before.) I currently am not in school or employed, but both of those will be solved soon. Once I get comfortable with you I am a very good flirter and all that pertains too. I enjoy it a lot and do it often though most certainly not if you don't want me too (not much of a point being a tease if the other person doesn't like it) I'm about 6'3 and 170 pounds, diagnosed aspie. I'm trying to stay confident with this but I'm not exactly hopeful I'll find anyone. My hopes kinda got trampled recently. Well here's a shot in the dark, hopefully I'll be lucky for once!

Hello there!
I'm pretty new around here, since I just recently diagnosed myself with AS and began reading the threads on this forum. Something about myself:
I'm 31 y.o., female, generally attractive and in good shape (or at least that's what I think). Like many others around here, I consider myself pretty intelligent, a little bit opinionated and somewhat sympathetic towards people (something I learned through the years with hard work, I admit).
That being said, my Achilles's heel is of course relationships. I never seem to get beyond the 2-3 months threshold, if I ever get there (doesn't happen very often). People seem to be attracted to me in the beginning, but it's hard to keep them around for two reasons: either I scare them off with my penchant for saying the truth like it is or God knows how else I scare them off or they bore me to death (just as bad).
I have to say I've been impressed by the multitude of people here writing about their difficulties with relationships. Makes you feel like you're not alone in this. I've never dated an AS before (or I presume so), but I think it would be much easier to get along with someone who thinks and feel the way you do (or at least it does in theory). So, I'm very willing to give this a try.

I live in Pennsylvania, US, in the Philadelphia area. If anyone is interested to communicate with me, please send a message. I don't mind it if people from other countries want to say hi, after all we can only learn form each other, can't we?

Hello, blueskies31. I see this is your first post, so welcome to WP! I am from the Philly region myself, and I am also self-identified as an Aspie. I think you will feel very much at home here.

I am a 22 year old Autistic male that is extremely high functioning, motivated by education, and loves photography (Film and Digital). I enjoy ice hockey and play on a all autistic hockey team that has every degree of autism on the team. I take a lot of pride in my ASD, and do my best to make other people living with it not so horrible by starting an all autistic social group at my college.

Well that's all I have to say about me... I am more interested in knowing what you gals enjoy doing!

Hello!

My name is Carlos better known here on this site as faarrukon pawnch thirty nine.

Age: 23 but I feel 18

Height: 5'5

Weight: 250

Likes: Drawing and Painting, long walks around the lake (due to the fact that I live close to one), cooking, reading Shakespeare & superhero comic books, being on the computer (mostly for photoshopping), and watching horror movies.

Dislikes: HATERS!

About me: Along with my likes which you have already read. I am also a collector, I have a huge comic book collection. I am sort of a timid nerdy types. My favorite places to be is the library, book stores, the mall, movie theaters, and New York City. I like writing short plays, and working with children at a local day care. I am studying at Grand Canyon University (currently my 2nd year) to become a teacher or art therapist.

Hey, greenturtle74. Thanks for the welcoming message.

Thanks.... yes, I fully understand that things do take time. I'm not in a hurry to get involved with anyone, because she'll be the type of person who catches my eyes and things will naturally happen. No worries from me.

Genuinely nice guy with many interests is looking to meet an attractive, accomplished woman who likes to have a good time and do a variety of things. I have an insane sense of humor, and am dying to try improv on the stage - maybe while playing a saxophone at the same time.

I'm someone who has come to like and love myself for living with AS. AS does not define me in the least bit (it is only a label). I understand my strengths and limitations, and work with my strengths. I am environmentally and organically conscious, respect Mother Earth and the Universe greatly, and have a deep spiritual side.

Looking For
I'd like to meet someone who has an immense zest for life, regardless of what she's been diagnosed or lives with daily. She's passionate about life, sees the good in everything, and loves to laugh. She has this sense of calm about her that puts people at ease (even when first meeting someone).

I'd like to meet someone, who has a connection with nature and spirituality - because of how much they mean to her. She's not afraid of trying something new, because it's all about having fun in the process - even a food fight. Creativity is one of her trademarks.

I would like to meet someone who has a strong sense of diversity in her life, and lives it not talks it. I seek someone who I could develop a friendship and eventually, a life partnership.

The best of relationships often occur when least expected.

Hi blueskies......

I was on WP this evening, browsing the various topics, when I came across the introductions. I think it was like something to the tune of writing a personal ad or something like that, right? I gotta admit, I am impressed with what you wrote. I like that you mentioned about saying the truth as it is. Then, again, us AS folks - we're about the Truth and such. I place great importance on social justice values, totally. Wouldn't want it any other way... well ok, maybe a Philly Cheesesteak, but it's all good.

You wrote that you were reasonably attractive and felt you are in good shape. Terrific. Whatever you're doing to keep yourself in good shape, keep doing it. I joined a health club recently here in my city (Chattanooga, TN), and have been hitting the weights hard an average of 2-3 times weekly. Also, I walk an average of 3-4 times weekly at around 30 or so minutes each time. I eat quite healthy, and such. It's my way of managing the AS from that standpoint. Although I live with AS , it does not define who I am as a person. AS is only a diagnosis, a label - nothing else. I was diagnosed with AS in 2007, and received written documentation just last year. After receiving the documentation, my life started coming together nicely.

People cannot even tell I have AS when first meeting me. Just the other week, I met with this one Vocational Rehabilitation counselor (who is now my former counselro). She said essentially, "Scott, I can't believe you have AS. I wouldn't have known unless you told me." That's how hard I have worked to get to where I am. Yes, I am AS. I have my strengths and limitations, but work with my strengths. I am very proud of how far I have come in my life. By the way, I invited that same VR counselor (and others) to a presentation I am giving at a local autism about my life with AS early next week. I anticipate a nice turnout for the Q&A. I'm excited about the opportunity.

Have you lived in Greater Phillly your entire life? Are you new to the area? I've never been in Philly, although the closest I've ever been to there is the Pocono Mountains (great place, by the way). What excites you about life? What is your passion in life? What drives you? Just curious.. I'm not a staff sargeant or anything

I'll leave it at this for now. Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

Be well... Scott

You are quite a bit away from me, but you sound very wonderful. are you looking for a boyfriend, or a girlfriend?

I'm sort of new to WP, so I probably need to look around more to fully understand it. I have a feeling it won't take me long... Seems as though I might fit in nicely. I'm hoping that someone sees this. Anyways, here's to a description.

Condition: Undiagnosed Asperger's. When I came across AS for the first time, I thought that it fit me. As I grew older, it fit me more. I first came across it four years ago, but even though I thought I had it, I dismissed it; What did having a condition like that matter? I was sort of immature in that aspect, though mature in other ways.
Gender: Male.
Age: 15.
Favorite movie about Aspegers: Adam.
Name: Adam Denchfield. Hah, put it in this order on purpose.
Build: 6'0", and still growing. However, I'm a bit on the pudgy side. Inherited it from my father.
Ancestry: Brazilian, Irish, Canadian, Native American, English, and another thing or two I can't remember. mostly look like a mix between Canadian and Brazilian, I think... I've never been good at judging race, though.
Location: Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania. Just moved here recently, and I might be moving again to Virginia Beach or Massachusetts. Might stay here, though, too.

Personality (The best part, I think.): Typical of us, I'm very honest and sincere. Once I know I like you, and you like me back, I can be amazingly loyal. I'm proving that in real life right now by sticking with a friend whom hasn't really tried in our friendship. But that might just be because I'm scared that if I lose this friend, I won't be able to get another one to replace her. I have very few friends, and none that interact with me outside of school (though I've tried!).

I'm very easygoing and peace loving. I don't do conflict, and I believe that everyone should love each just because they are all similar in one aspect or another. I suppose that makes me part hippie. I like watching people when they paint, compose music, read, dance... Well, I like observing people in general. I learn from their actions, and how they react if I do something. I myself don't have any skill in painting, drawing, etc. I do occasionally makes poetry to express my feelings, but only when I can't handle them. I've never tried learning how, but I think I'd be good at tap-dancing. I'm also very moral and spiritual when it comes to right and wrong, or what you should do.

Tidbit: Really, everything I know how to do is based off of what I've read in books, seen in movies, or watched on TV. I didn't have any good influences in my childhood, but movies and the like give a good concept on what is right and what is wrong. The right material, anyways. It might be very sad, but I've learned so much about human interaction.... I'm on the right path, I can feel it.

Interests: I enjoy reading a lot, more so than movies or TV shows. I've seen a lot of documentaries, but not anymore. (Mostly because we don't have the channels for that anymore. ) I like hiking, and walking. I like some video games, but right now it's mostly Pokemon. Again. I also enjoy Philosophy, and quietly talking. Listening to music? Definitely.

Future career: I plan on getting a Ph.D in Psychology, possibly a minor in Software Programming.

More about me; I'm very good at mathematics, being in an honors class two years ahead of my grade. I want, but don't necessarily need, support on my opinions and beliefs, as well as decisions. I don't need support because I've never had it, but I want it for the same reason. I have stinky feet after wearing shoes for 7 hours.

Naivety Versus Cynicism: Naivety, of course.

I could put in more, but that'd definitely take out the fun of getting to know me.

Hi, I'm Adam. How do you like me?

Hello everyone.

My name is Melanie. I'm 21 years old from Sydney Australia. I am an undergraduate student studying commerce and psychology. I enjoy playing restaurant city and pet society on facebook. Even to the point of obsession some would say. I wouldn't say I'm eccentric, I'm more of the selective mutism type. I've never had a boyfriend. I've had guys flirt with me before but I do not know how to act or what to do. (Yeah my life is pretty sad like that ).

Hi,

Im Adrian,

Im 39 years old, from near Bowral, NSW, Australia. Its about 2 hours south of Sydney, and about 750/800m above sea level at our place. Some days we are literally living in the clouds, albeit low level ones.....

Being as its a small country area and im not into pubs, clubs (or the types that hang out in them) or big crowds or basically much socially, its not easy to meet anyone.
Ive yet to meet another aspie so far in my life, let alone an NT who can understand and accept my quirks.

Im currently doing volunteer work while looking for part time work, and also retrofitting one of my parents sheds into a garden flat for myself, and hopefully soon a long awaited feline companion!

Like the previous poster i'm also selectively mute (willing to unmute for the right person! ) and never had a girlfriend. I've had a few good female friends over the years, but like a lot of others here either have had trouble maintaining the friendship due to aspergers or been overwhelmed by the other person, or the thought of a relationship. I dont know still if i am capable of a relationship in the normal sense, but then i have aspergers, so...

But i would like company and would like to meet someone with apsergers who could understand the need i have for space sometimes and the other quirks and selective quietness.

So heres hoping one day i may run into another aspie down here where i live, and perhaps even have a close friendship or relationship with a female like me!

If you want to experience my visual ordinariness, i posted a few pics HERE and also HERE in the Pictures of Hot Aspies thread, which actually backfired when a few people found me attractive and foiled my plan to derail the thread and represent the ordinary person

My interests are guitar playing, blues music, classic rock, reading good literature (i.e. Dickens, Dostoevsky, Hunter S. Thompson etc) and quiet times in a good chair with a good book, especially on rainy days!

I have a freakish sense of humour once you get to know me, so be warned.

I thought I had met an amazing lady weeks ago, but it turned out she was completely psychotic. I lost my laptop over this, too. She claimed her ex came into her apartment, kicked her down, stole things (including my laptop), and tried putting her phone, cable and energy bills in his name. I let it go, but things eventually got to be way too obvious. I left her place last night with everything I could grab that I brought with me. She's done nothing but call me incessantly from different numbers, and even messaged me saying she was gonna kill herself. I can't handle this kind of drama. *sigh* I'm never opening my heart to anyone ever again. My ability to trust has been destroyed.

Wow, I remember you talking about it before on here. That really sucks.

You may say that now, but there is a great chance you'll change your mind in the future, don't give up hope.
