Is there nobody else that resides in Wisconsin that would like to make a real friend? Man this is depressing, I feel like nobody on here is willing to meet in person.

Don't you guys feel unsatisfied just talking among each other over online forums? I would really like to meet some people in real life...am I alone in that?

I can hear your frustration. I'm not from Wisconsin, but was just wondering if you have already checked to see if there are any AS support groups in your area? I've met a few nice people through one I go to occasionally.

I'm just getting out of a relationship and now that I have been spending more time alone, it's suddenly dawned on me how few friends I actually seem to have left. Over the last few years, it's seemed like most of mine decided to get married, move out of state to take new jobs, etc. and I've just lost touch. It can be tough to meet new people, especially ones you click with, so I can empathize. Good luck!

Yeah...I can understand that. You don't want to be isolated.

I'm in NYC, NY, so I'm not near Wisconsin. Are you near Milwaukee? I hear there's lots of culture in Milwaukee. You could go to a lecture, meet women that way.

I live in the center of Iowa and on the west side near the Nebraska border so I know that feel, I've only met one other person on here who I knew was from my state and they live on the other side of it. Did you happen to get my message on the suicide idealization thread you had?

Sounds very Council Bluffish to me.

You're near Omaha, then....which is a substantial city.

I formed friendship with one group, then this group collapsed (they fought between each other) while I was the only who stayed neutral with everyone :-/.

Ever since I have very few friends left.

Forming friendships as adult is very difficult if you are not already part of a social circle, because almost everyone is part of a social circle and it's very hard to enter an already established circle alone.

I had a fairly good social life when I was with this group, outings and trips every weekend, but now there's nothing.

According to statistics, there should be anywhere from 80,000 to 85,000 Aspies in Wisconsin.
I happen to live in a small mountain community in Southern California, and as far as I know I am the only Aspie up here and I don't care because it doesn't matter.

Hey Kraftie, thanks for responding. Well thanks everybody for responding! I'm about a 30 minute drive from Milwaukee but I was born there, went to school there as a child and as an adult, even lived on campus grounds for a year during my partying days. You're right there is a lot of culture there but no asperger meetup groups from what I've gathered. I know I could meet women that isn't really the issue, I'm trying to meet some people on the spectrum and maybe even a women on the spectrum....but I want some good ole friends on the spectrum just as much!

I am surprised that their are no meet ups in Milwaukee. I know there are some groups in Madison. :scratch: I am a ways north of you.

Big meetups of strangers are always awkward and weird.

I went t local forum's meetups before, this what happened every time: People who already know each other before the meetup (already friends, or met before) formed cliques - and those who weren't part of any clique felt alienated, me included.
