Hello Reader,

I became a member of Wrong Planet yesterday, and am beginning to find my way around the website gradually and though it best to introduce myself to the community. My name is Zack, I'm 16 years old, and have been diagnosed with Asperger's and Schizoaffective Disorder.
All that I'm looking for is friends that are really friends. I've never had friends outside of school and I want that to change. I tried looking for a website like Facebook or MySpace for people with Asperger's but i couldn't find one, and what difference would that make because you need to knowpeople with Asperger's to be "friends" with them anyways. My situation is quite hopeless.
You're not getting anymore of my time so bye.

Hey! Welcome! We have a board for people who have other conditions. The specific name escapes me at the moment.

In the past, I've felt closer to my online friends than anyone else I knew offline.

Not sure what you mean by that. Are you leaving this community after your first post?

Well, can't speak for Zacky (obviously), but I know that sometimes I have trouble wrapping up a posting, and NTs expect some sort of conclusion to what you're saying. Thankfully, here I can generally just stop when I'm done and no one takes it amiss. (BTW, Zacky, same holds true for you - if you can't think of anything else to say or any way to "tie it all up", you can just hit "Submit", and nobody will criticize your ending around here because most of us have the same issue.)

I mostly poked my head in here because I read the thread title, and my immediate response was, "Are you a man of wealth and taste?"

Ha! I like the Rolling Stones song reference there, "Sympathy for the Devil", right? No, I am NOT the Devil. I am not of great wealth but I'd like to think that I have good taste.
