I have aspergers, and I love art. Gaming, reading, singing, instrumental, drawing, and so much more. Art is my passion. But I have no way to find intellectuals who share my interests, and when I occasionally find someone, they always leave and never respond. I'm hoping that through this post, I can make the friends that I've always wanted to have. If you have any questions, or want to talk, comment or message me!

There's a "gaming" section which gets lots of action.

There's an "adolescent" section that doesn't get so much.

Or.....respond to somebody who has written something pertinent to you.

It sounds to me like maybe you're having trouble making friends because they have to meet specific standards to qualify.

It's hard to make friends in your age range, because most of the kids in your age range genuinely suck. But if you get out there and be part of the world, you'll eventually find some kindred spirits. Those are the kind of friends you keep.
