i spend almost the whole day online. and only leave my computer to use the potty and get something to eat or drink. do you think you would spend anymore or less time online because of your aspergers?

Being unemployed, 14+ hours a day, most of it researching topics of interest and looking for work.

:D


Computer is how I TALK.
I can speak regularly.
It is as different as the ol biblical saying Those with EARS THAT CAN HEAR...ect.

Those with mouths that can speak and be understood-do.
Those with mouths that can speak but are not understood--HAVE A KEYBOARD.b :wink:

I leave my service up-and am at it often, just not often at it.

Beavis and Butthead would laugh incessantly after hearing the word "Ass Burgers". It's just their nature. Beavis might possibly be on the spectrum himself, even if there's plenty of reasons to debate that!

Um, I'm doing 3-4 hours of research online for 2 major papers I have coming up . . . and outside of that, I probably spend another hour or 2 online just for fun.

It depends on how much homework I have.

I am finished for the weekend.

I had a few days-long absence last week due to computer problems. Those issues have been resolved, but I still plan to buy an iMac next month, during Spring Break.

Exactly the same - I leave my house only when I have to go to college or I'm having my teacher practice. I can acquire so much knowledge this way :D I am addicted already - I used to be addicted to TV, TV games and computer games earlier but my current addiction is the best of them :twisted:

Before joining WP, I would only spend 1-3 hrs/day online. Now, I'm unemployed, and I spend about 4-7 hrs online each day. I'm trying to cut back though.

Probably more than 6 hours a day. It has nothing to do with Asperger's; it's addiction :(

My computer is my life, I really don't know what I'd do without it. It's my tool for talking to people, it keeps me entertained with endless articles, and it's my job because it lets me design websites. I probably spend 12-16 hours online. I love reading scientific american, slashdot, wired, reuters, and wiki.
