Hello anyone out there. This is my first time writing on this website. I'm writing this at 4AM because I couldn't lie in bed any longer despite having woken at a respectable time yesterday morning and completing a day of work. As usual, I felt tired throughout the day but when I tried to hit the sheets at midnight after downing my nightly overdose of OTC sleep meds, my mind began it's nightly routine of ruminating about the unfortunate reality of my life. I felt the physical effect of the sleep aids as they tried to force my body to rest but like so many nights, I had to give up on any hope of a decent nights rest.
Trouble sleeping has been a problem my entire life, but it's been peaking for the last couple of years. It's to the point where it is interfering with my attempts to improve my situation. It's costing me career and health. I used to be able to self medicate with alcohol, which numbs the pain to a degree but that has hurt me physically as well. I developed gastritis which I've been dealing with for a few months. It's almost definitely caused by my alcohol consumption. Since I've been holding off on the alcohol, I can no longer experience the insouciance that it would often provide. That alcoholic escape was my only refuge from the unbelievable pain that comes with life as an aspie.
When I had a good buzz from a 12 pack of cold ones, I would experience my emotions, and for better or worse, I at least felt like me when I was drunk.
I know that it's extremely unhealthy to do that. But now I don't have those once or twice a week excursions where I could take off the mask that so many of us wear, and could actually feel like a real person. For the time being, it has to be living as the robotic, unnecessary punching bag 24-7. All of this exposition is just to explain why I just started an account here.
I've been reading posts on this site and many other Aspergers sites ever since I learned about the disorder. Sites like this are often where I wind up when I'm trying to sleep and can't. Like everyone, I take great comfort in reading other peoples posts about Aspergers. I didn't know what it was until around 3 years ago. I am undiagnosed but am 100% certain that I have this condition. On the Aspergers tests available online, I always score in the Autistic zone. I scored 34 on the 50 question test online.
An hour ago, I was reading more testimonials on another Aspie site and was so moved by what I was reading that I just wanted to communicate with others with our condition. It's not something I talk about with anyone because of all the prejudices that people have against aspies, and even if they don't have those prejudices (which of course, most will claim), they're still just "them"...the neurotypicals. They don't have time in their lives to worry about "weirdos" like us. They're too happy being normal and could never spend an iota of time thinking about why people like us are so different. They sincerely do not give a flying f@&K. It's easy to write off people that don't fit their bill of familiarity because the world is full of "them". They'll find another. They always do.
But what's so comforting to me, is reading the stories people tell and the descriptions of their feelings. I find it absolutely amazing how it seems that the majority of us are living the same lives. Obviously it's different places, times and faces, but the tales of woe that stem from what seems to be an innate difference of mental processes, creates the same life-story over and over again. It's genuinely awful what we experience and NTs will never be able to understand us.
I'm trying to write on this site because, having learned what my condition is, I am hoping to finally find some community and people who can understand my experience without the typical NT response...which is one that NEVER, EVER makes any sense. You have the "snap out of it" people. You have the "quit complaining
people. You have the "he's such a dumb ass" people. And you have the majority people. Those are the ones that just drift away from you sooner or later because they just think you're weird and that you're not worth their time.
Again, they're busy with their normal lives and try as we may, it's very difficult to be a part of their social equation. People like people who are like themselves. Sooner or later, they always know with us. They always know there's something different.
So I'm just trying here to hopefully find people who are similar. I don't know exactly where to begin or what to write, but I just feel as though I have to. It's like, I just have to talk about this. Just reading about other peoples experiences helps but the pain is unreal and it all feels so senseless and purposeless. I'm just looking for a place where I can take off the mask that I don't wear well. I put it on and fool one here, one there, but like so many others I've been reading for years, it only works when you keep "them" at arms length. Sometimes they get in closer and they can see that it's a mask and wonder why I'm wearing one. So I take it off and show them my face...and then they reject it, sooner or later, every single time.
It's now 5AM and I guess I should attempt sleep again. Take care.

What is your first name? Not gonna happen.

Age: 21

Location: Those who must know need only ask.

Hobbies and Interests: Anything where the more you do it, the better you get.
Exceptions: Netflix and Spotify. I need some thoughtless recreation from time to time. :P

Why are you here? Loneliness foremost, boredom not too far behind, other motives lag behind.

When were you diagnosed? 7-8 (I have been rediagnosed, last at 18)

Favorite subjects: School... Yeah I hated it. That being said, I found the sciences most tolerable, especially chemistry.

Year/Grade: Quit school, I'm currently grinding a somewhat living on poker but it's a lot harder than I first thought (don't bother practising with play money, the players at real money games are much better and disciplined by about 20 times), I may look into other gambling ventures or something else entirely.

Favorite music: God, I love many kinds of music, at some point I'll make legit complete playlists on Spotify. I love rap and EDM styles a lot. Trap and House variations are my typical abode when it comes to EDM. When it comes to rap my favorite 2 rappers (both absolutely brilliant in their own way) are Madchild and Hopsin. I do not consider Tupac or the oldschool rappers talented and think their slow style needs to stop being admired if rap is truly going to progress. Tech-N9ne is great BUT he is far too overrated. He's good, not flawless. People give him too much credit.

Books: I have unmedicated ADD (on top of the Asperger's). That should basically sum up how much I read on a regular basis. I'm a hands-on learner.

TV shows/Movies: SO MANY. Hmm, Dexter, Monk, Breaking Bad, Narcos, Criminal Minds, Weeds and many more; yeah basically I'm a criminal at heart.

Instrument: Keyboard Kappa... Well I can sing. So does voice count?

Do you like sports? I guess with this site, it's a love/hate relationship people have with sports. I'm the sport-hating type of Aspie. Bullying is definitely part of why. There was a consistent correlation between being sporty and being a bully during my childhood so I associated the entire thing with negativity. That's not to say that unsporty people don't bully, just that very sporty people can't help but be critical of those who are not.

Family: I do not like my family. Well, I like some of my cousins. Hmm, not sure what else to say. I have a sister and two parents. I don't like them. I dislike my mother the least, she's a decent human being just not my type. My dad and sister are just irritating and cold. I am very sure that my father and his mother have undiagnosed Asperger's (his mother is definitely a full blown Aspie).

Clothing: Casual but trendy... I can make a hoodie and tracksuit look sexy. I have a slender body so any clothing that is not made for bigger-built people suits me.

How did you find this website?
Years ago. I had Asperger's and felt lonely but now I'm legit going to be a regular here. I have Asperger's and it's annoying that others cannot deal with me. I'm too 'rude' for their liking. Rude being honest.

Job: Up until a month ago, I was a potwasher/dishwasher at a restaurant. Now I grind poker but I'm already going to pay more in rent and memberships this month than I earned so I'm just going to try and improve knowing when to take risks and when not to. It's a huge process, it's not a typical job after all (I think that's what draws me in).

Plans for the future?
After I grind enough cash, begin to invest in stocks and shares. Once I have a good understanding of them, I want to slowly get rich enough with enough experience to really invest in small companies and take them from nobodies to McDonald's or Google level. I have an amazing ability to see the talent and explosive potential in people and things tha tno one else can see. It's also a curse because I see threats from far away that no one else sees so people think I am paranoid. the restaurant I used to work at I warned the owners that the chef was extremely untrustworthy. He's run off with around $2.5k (USD) that doesn't mean I live in USA anyway, he's going to sue them unless they give him his knives back but refuses to return the payment. The owners of the restaurant are my parents. Mhmm, now you are beginning to see why I and them don't get along; they don't get my ability to read people and I can't handle people who don't let my talents flourish. So ultimately my aim is to have my talents flourish, regardless of fame (I'd hate to be famous, I want to be the string puller, not the smiling puppet).

Any comments? I'm the type of Aspie that can give the disorder a bad name. I am arrogant and am tired of the world telling me to change. In the end, either you grab the world by the balls and make it your b**** or the world will do that very thing to you. :twisted:
