Have any of you actively sought others in your area?

Post Reply New Topic

I want to meet new people, okay so part of me wants to hide from new people too, but largely I know I need to and want to find others 'like me' - I HAVE joined a local social group for aspies/autistic people, but not sure how that will go...*fingers crossed*

I've never met anyone else locally, I've also noticed on various autism forums that there are no specific posts or boards dedicated to location-specific chat so you can talk to and find others near you, which is sad - why don't we have that?

I've been dabbling with the idea of finding penpals and backed out every time so not sure how I'd respond to someone I find online or in real life, I seem to be getting worse at making friends, I just figure fellow aspies or autistic people might be a bit easier to get along with...in theory, reality maybe a little different.

Just wondering.
Oh, and just in case if anyone (guys) is from Newcastle UK give me a shout *smile*

Unfortunately, here in Lewiston, there is no such thing as an Aspie/Autism social group.

But, I am join a yoga group next month. I don't necessarily have to befriend Aspies to be happy. I still have faith that not every NT out there is self-centered and prejudice against those with our difference.

where i live, there is nobody showing their face.

Hi. I'm interested in finding out where this Aspie meeting group is, never heard of it. Don't know what a shout out smile is, but here's a smilie .

I also found this guy's site: http://www.chrismitchell.org.uk/index.htm An aspie in the area.

Yes

Now I can't get rid of them

Not really. i'm just not a fanatic about people,

No, I have not. Maybe I will... in time. Right now people online are about all I can handle of ASD.
