Friendship Board - Age 19 Onwards

Post Reply New Topic

Hi Danielle,
Great to meet you, thanks for your reply! We do seem to be in similar situations! Since my eldest has been diagnosed, his school have put in place loads of adaptations, a differentiated timetable, a special corner with his own computer, IT club at break and lunchtimes etc, but having said that - I'm very tempted to home school him but my husband doesn't like the idea - I'm still working on him! Hopefully your sons' school will be a wonderful support for him, let me know. That's great you don't feel you need an official diagnosis, my husband thinks that now I'm grown up with children, there's no need and I can see his point. For me, it would be taking an emotional load off my shoulders I guess. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep in touch, that'd be lovely! Also, what do the other mums say about 'fixing' their kids? I'm intrigued!

I am 18.5 years old and I love to run, draw, sing, dance, learn, talk, have fun in general.
I can sometimes be awkward, sometimes random, sometimes I'll be the most hyper person EVER, and sometimes I will just be cool.
However, I try to be the best person I can be, and do good every day.
So don't hesitate to pm me, because I'll try to be coolio and respond.
Oh, and I say have an awesome day a lot, but I really do mean it.
So...........(without further ado)........Have an awesome day!! !

I'm 20 aspie looking for people to talk to. I live in eastern NC. you can pm me if you like.

I just discovered this thread. I could always use more aspie friends (and friends in general).

I am a 22 year old female from NYC (not manhattan). I'm currently taking time off from college but will be returning to school in the fall. I'm living with my parents at the moment and spending time with my boyfriend (who is in school in manhattan) but would like more friends. I volunteer as a rape crisis counselor for an ER and also volunteer in an abortion recovery room.

PM me if you want to talk or learn more.

Hello i'm Ben, 24 from Birmingham UK. Diagnosed with mild aspergers around 10 years ago. I love music which i write my own lyrics and like to sing, passionate about animals and exercising/keeping fit. Also love sport and loyal and easy to get along with.

Hello, i'm 39 years old, married, i have 2 sons, both have problems,..my husband,, i don't know why he married me. I'm new here.. I'm an unemployment mechanical engineer, lonely, without friends. Irony with me is.. i was good with school, in theory..but i don't know with bike, with car.. in all sports and with people.. i speak to much in wrong time, i don't speak in wrong time.. and sometimes i can't control my speech, that going like tell poem.. and result is people do not like me. My husband suffer, he like have 3 kids, i don't know earn money. That is me.. who like to be friend with me.. i no one hate, i love people, i love life, but people always wrong understand me.

Hey everyone
I am 19, engaged (so basically taken) and very into photography, good music and fashion. Looking for some fellow Aspie buddies to chat to on here occasionally
My fiancee and I have major plans at the moment: tell you about them when you PM me..
PM if you fancy a chat!

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. I'm 20.

hi. i'm a 22 year old female from south of the uk. i am mainly interested in creative subjects like music and art but have other interests too. i was diagnosed a couple of years ago and have joined this forum as I have no friends and thought this would be a good place to start!

Texas has an Aspie in it!

I guess the others had the good sense to get out before the old tradition of the Texas eccentric fell prey to modern polarization.

42, gonna finish college, love my cat. I've had a lot of different jobs, and did well at all but the people parts. I collect odd information (saves space).

I like having friends, but don't really have any out here. The people I like tend to be busy, and have lived here a long time with lots of old friends already. Recently, I haven't gotten out much, or gone to events where I'd meet people I might like. I had a big social circle in Austin, and even found a rational religion, but didn't feel like I managed developing the one-on-one relationships that would have served me best.

I like to travel, but I won't have the money to do it again until I finish college. For my next trip, I want to go back to the Netherlands. I find it a model of good sense and fairness, and loved my previous trips there. Prudish Texas may never catch up.

If anyone wants to discuss any of the above further, I'd suggest PM and starting another thread in a forum where it can be found by others with the same interest. I just joined the site, so I haven't found all the discussions I want to join, yet. LMK if you know a thread I might like!

19, female. I enjoy anime, role-playing, and things. Things like my computer and my Asperger's fascinations. In fact, I have an obsession with Asperger's Syndrome itself. I'm a writer in my free time and a university student. My major is English with a suspected minor in Psychology. I wish to become a novelist with my degree and perhaps write a book on Asperger's Syndrome. If you wish to know further details, please ask appropriately in my inbox.

I am basically a "weirdo" but in reality a nice guy usually. Lately I've been self critical about not being some of the important things I'm not (i.e. having true intellectual interests as most Aspies), but I am proud of myself in some ways and am trying to increase my moderate maturity level.
