Thank you for the welcome.

I have a wide range of hobbies and interests, although I don't get a chance to hang
out with people as much as I would like.


Some of my friends advised FB, however I found some of the social networking
sites too difficult to communicate with, even those who are "friends". I feel and "left out" at times, and most of the non-aspies/non-autistics to be difficult to talk to.

At times I have a morbid sense of humor, and it seems to offend a lot of people who I am friends with. Recently I have had some friends (I live in Northwest Mississippi, close to Memphis, Tn and don't drive. Lately people who have claimed to be friends, who know how to contact me, haven't contacted me and when I call them they say they will call me back, and I have been bummed out.

It is easier for me to communicate with others who have my same condition, and have tried to hang out at AA meetings which I was left out or people seemed to only want to take advantage of me mentally.

My number one escape from reality lately I started playing minecraft and find it t o be more rewarding than being around the "friends" who I feel seem to have forgotten that I exist.

However I am in the right place now :)
:D
