As with the person above me I have a lot of friends online but offline I don't have people really I can consider friends. To be out with it I guess I don't really know how to know when I have friends. Because I'm shy.

Perhaps 17 years ago when I first went to college. . Before that, perhaps 3rd grade, which was 30 years ago. My second stint in college, I didn't make any friends and during the second semester, I didn't have one f*****g conversation with anyone. f*****g loser.

I had 3 from 2nd to 4th grade. None since, and I'm 20 now.

I cannot remember. I have had online friends, but to be honest, I generally avoid the word 'friend' as it seems a foolish word to me. Everyone has a different definition of it, and no-one could ever fit my definition...so I not longer have what I would consider 'friends'. I have people I talk to, I have people who know me a little and who I know a little.

It has only been three years for me. I lost the last of my childhood friends to the pursuit of an interest. I stopped leaving the house, and my friend stopped coming over to see me. The problem for me is that I wasn't much of a friend to others although I had three fairly strong friendships at one point. I wanted to build that friendship back up after a year or so but I felt it was too late for that to happen. The worst thing about it is I cannot make myself care too much about losing those friendships. Those were my exact thoughts, and this was before my diagnosis with AS. I felt like I should care more, but I was still absorbed with the same interest and cared very little about it.

About a year now. That is if you call people you get wasted with friends.

I've had real world friends all my life, though I moved from my first home at a young age and so my local friends have only known me for five years, at most. But even though I have no really old friends, I probably have more friends than most others in the seventh grade, and I'm certainly one of the most popular AS kids in the school.

I have no clue why there are so many people on this site who are all "omg i have no friends everyone hates me boo hoo". No person in the world is so hated that they can't even get one friend.

I'll probably be doing something with one this Sunday. He's great. probably an NT, but he's certainly not normal ^_^. He has a PhD in Philosophy. I'm also about the only person he can talk to about this stuff.

He's also going to be in the upcoming D&D game I'm planning. (It'll be over IM)

About 3 years, maybe longer. My wife was my best friend - but I had other people that I would game with. Now, I do chat with my colleagues, but none of it feels like real friendship.
