Talk about yourself for a bit

I also was in constant existential crisis as a teen, and my medicine is and was also philosophy, though I also take antidepressants. What religion are you, Closet Genious? I also feel like at one point I screwed up and lost everything, but now I found God at least.

Hi, I'm Theresa.

I'm a 26 year old lesbian who recently realized that I have AS. I currently live in Arizona, and work as a bench jeweler (making and repairing fine jewelry). I'm a very honest, open, loyal, and caring person, and I love helping other people out. My interests include drawing and writing, specifically when it comes to my illustrated sci-fi novel, an ongoing project I consider my main "special interest." I need lots of alone time both to recharge, and to pursue my special interests, but I'm very empathetic and always concerned about meeting the emotional needs of my friends and partners. I'm currently single and fairly happy that way, as I've suffered through a series of very abusive relationships, likely partly due to my AS and my resulting vulnerable nature. I'm currently taking time to recover from past abuse and hopefully regain my desire for intimate partnership. However, I'm still definitely interested in connecting with other lesbian aspies, both for friendship and possibly romance, if we hit it off that way. If you think I might be your type, feel free to message so we can chat. I'm always happy to lend a listening ear.

What are your atheistic beliefs exactly? Some people say they'r atheists but they believe in something, just not a God that's a PERSON. Like me, I believe in a conscious, lucid, all-aware force, though I don't call it atheism.

I started out not believing in anything but wanting there to be something for real to believe in. Then I figured it out and found out more. Now I'm writing a book about it, and others have found the same thing... near-death.com helped me. Before that I just had my logic.

Maybe you already believe in something and don't realize it. Otherwise, you will want something valid to believe in eventually.

Hello, I'm Casper. No, I'm not a ghost. I am 18 years old and reside in the UK. I was diagnosed with Autism at a young age and it has taken its toll on me ever since. My interests are Sketching, Music, Graphic Designing, Cycling, Travelling, Cinema, Technology, Writing, Animals and Gaming. During my time, I found the dedication to my paper round rewarding and motivating, which helped with my confidence and my desire to help those in need. If I'm being really honest with myself, I just long to have friends that I can relate to as I have had bad luck with friends, love, school etc. I don't mean to sound deep but that's who I am. In my spare time, I attempt to write stories but end up failing big time.

To anyone who reads this, thank you for your time.

Hello! I'm Lauren, and I really dislike my name. Most people say it doesn't fit me at all. I'm mixed race (black and white), and I have a head full of big natural curls. I'm a dedicated early childhood teacher, who is also cheating on her career by going to grad school for library science. I was diagnosed with ASD just before I turned 24, and my life has drastically improved since then. Other fun facts about me are that I cosplay, I'm a Christian, and I obsess over music artists and video game characters.

Why don't you do as I did and just change your name?

Hi, my name is Peter (or just Pete).

I'm 30 years old and British.

I was diagnosed with HF AS and "marked dyspraxia" in 2000, aged 12.

I've been on this site since August this year.

Not much more to talk about really except that I am a keen bass player and song writer.

I'm into all kinds of music but mainly Rock (Alternative rock, grunge, hard rock, metal, punk rock, maybe a bit of indie and pop punk/power pop too).

I also like dogs, video games, concerts/festivals, exercising in my local gym (when in the mood), drinking lager or vodka, and Liverpool FC.

I'm not really the sociable kind nor very interested in courting (not a good time) but I can socialise a little, when I'm not too wrapped up in myself.

I am also pretty self aware of my condition, not just cos of diagnosis, but since 2007 I've been able to see some of my symptoms and how AS can make me behave.

Does any other Aspie/Autist here also have self awareness of their condition(s), beyond just going off of your diagnosis and other people pointing it out to ya?

Hello, I am Pilar, 20 years old, half Irish, half Spanish. I don't have an official diagnosys yet. I have a friend who has AS and he got me thinking. He told me I was pretty weird too, at first I took it as a compliment. Who wants to be average?
But then I started reading more about autism spectrum to understand him more and I recognised most of the traits.
I thought about my way of seeing the world acting and reacting to impulses, I can tick most boxes. It was like I was reading about myself.
I also took some online tests, sometimes 300 questions. The mildest result was that I have some autistic traits but most of the time the result was that yeah I am on the spectrum too.
It feels like a relief as at least I know why I am so different from other women.
I would say my obsession is people. Analyzing how they are, how they act, how to copy them etc.
I study as an android developer at the moment.
Oh and I like heavy metal concerts and my bicycle. At home I like total silence but I do like some good headbang from time to time.

Hi, I'm Jack.

I'm 23 years old, diagnosed with the aspie synders when I was about 10, maybe 11, I can't remember too well. Mainly, I find myself role playing online, usually on ProBoards forums, or playing the xbox. I love a good shant at the pub or going to town, and who doesn't love a good weekend break on a four day weekend? Heading to Wales next month just to get away! Came out as gay when I was 12 to my parents, then repeated the process to my school when I was 14, which lead to a lot of other people finally finding the courage to come out of the closet.

It's not really common knowledge that I'm an aspie, never really felt the need to bring it up. One of my good friends loves his psychology, and his mum is a psychologist, so they pretty much figured it out straight away lmao.

I have two dogs, a cat and her five kittens at the moment, so the house is a bit hectic. Hopefully, I'll be moving out soon if all goes to plan with this landlord!

Can't think of much else about me right now, it's been a long day. So hiya (:

I'm Betta I love fishkeeping, walking, and my friends.

I keep guppies and least killifish fish wise. I have assassin snails. I keep many aquatic and semi aquatic plants. I love watching fry.

I average 40,000 steps a day with my record bring 100,000. I enjoy it.

I have a best friend and a really close friend. My best friend and I have known each other since we were little. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met.

My closest friend and I met in a mental hospital. She is struggling with an eating disorder and personality disorder. She loves animals and children.
