Replace 'it' with 'love' and this is the way I see it:

I am a 31 year old who is;

- Depressed
- Neurotic
- Paranoid
- ASD/ADHD
- Bipolar II

And if that wasn't enough to swoon you, I am also married with children. I'd love a female friend whom i can share a unique bond with. A friendship that exists outside the normality of life.

Please keep speculation withing the confines of being informed of my state of mind.

I'm taking a break from another forum I became obsessed with and couldn't stop posting at. Gonna be more active here. I'm listening to The Brain by Eat Static.

Hi everyone! My name is Ashlee. I was born and raised in Oregon, USA and that's currently where I reside. I am in my last year of college for a degree in digital communication and work part time at Fred Meyers (a local grocery chain).
My hobbies include playing video games, board games and anything artsy or craftsy. I am interested in using my degree to work on visual design, merchandising, graphic design or anything in that general area.
I have an extensive makeup collection, especially lipsticks. Oddly enough, I'm more of a tomboy. I also collect figurines. My most recent addition was a tiny glass frog. :P
I enjoy reading all of your replies and if I would interact with all of you I could!

My name is Owen Boyd-

I'm a serious orchestral bassist, and I also enjoy writing in artistic forms (poetry, for example). I'm 15, diagnosed with AS at age 7. I enjoy talking to others, if I ever get the opportunity to, as well as practicing music and occasionally philosophy. I've developed great interest in putting myself out there to guide myself towards people like me, since I don't know many who seem to fully comprehend AS and how it affects who I am. I've been lonely, depressed, and generally upset with myself without a comfortable source of action to take, and no one to talk to. So I've come looking for social help and support.

As for love and dating, I've been isolated from that my whole life. Whether it's regular friends or serious relationships, I just can't seem to put two and two together. All I know is that I take all relationships very seriously, and I want to do everything I can to remind others that they're loved, and to always be there for them when they need it. But I can never clearly get this point across due to anxiety. However, it's never too late to lose hope for the future, and I'm sure that one day I'll meet someone. I really care about people and try to help them, because that's what I think love is about. So, being there for people has always been important to me, and if anybody here who I may be talking to needs me for a show of support, I'm definitely here. Thanks!

There are exactly the same number of years between myself and my favourite female vocalist and myself and my least favourite female vocalist.

If you cannot pronounce my name, you can call me 'Annie'.

Hello everybody, my name's Daniel. It's been a little while since I've posted on WP (I kind of turned into a pretty nasty butthead for a bit, so I apologize about that), but I've decided to share a little (ok, maybe A LOT) about who I am.

I would consider myself a native Coloradoan, although I was born in Pennsylvania (in...you guessed it: Amish country), and I love to bike and hike in the mountains. I've lived along the Front Range for 16 years now (I'm 23), so that's most of my life. I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS/autism around 6 or 7 years of age, and had some trouble reconciling it for a while. Eventually, I met a girl in college who, although never diagnosed, firmly believed she was autistic since the age of 6, and helped ease my anxiety about it. We fell in love and dated for about three years (between 19 and 22 years of age, 18 and 21 for her) before she broke up with me (for the second time, technically) and started dating my friend instead. This was done from hundreds of miles away via text message, and although it's been over a year now (since September), I still haven't gotten over it. She was one of the only women besides my mother, maybe (hell, one of the only PEOPLE in general) who was truly accepting of who I was (in terms of autism). I've had really bad dreams about it lately, for which I take RX's designed for PTSD nightmares, and lo and behold, they actually work! So thank God there's THAT at least...

Anyways, we haven't communicated at all since May of this year, and part of that was because I started to spiral out of control with alcoholism. I got really drunk on rum one night and started sending her selfies of me, first cheerfully holding up a glass, then morosely collapsed on my bedroom floor. Needless to say, it freaked the living hell out of her, and we haven't spoken since.

I sobered up and started going to AA meetings. Got a sponsor, who was a really sweet guy, almost a father-like figure for me, and we had a lot of interesting and deep conversations. He's perhaps one of the least selfish people I know. I stopped going to meetings after a few months and started drinking again (not as much, but it counted), and I guess I've been "stable" ever since, but it's probably only a matter of time before I fall off the wagon again. Sooner or later (and EVERY alcoholic knows this), alcohol wins if you don't quit it for good (assuming you're an alcoholic and not an average drinker, of course).

I recently finished reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower, and I gotta say, it was a helluva ride. The ending was a little disappointing, though, as a lot of fans will say, but I still like the series as a whole. Probably going to be the only 4000+ edge-of-your-seat-page-turner that I'll ever read.

Other than that, I'm also a composer, and I've started writing and uploading some compositions to YouTube. If anyone's interested, here's a link to one of my symphonic pieces It employs an old musical procedure called a musical cryptogram using a new method of encryption: 1-to-1 correspondence between notes and letters in the alphabet via 26-tet. Just a neat little experiment.

I think that's all I have to write about myself for now. I hope more people post soon! :)

Recently I have lost a lot of people close to me and want to make some new friends, and perhaps find love as well... I'm trying to move my life forward from this tragedy and I like to watch lots of educational videos because I am an intelligent boy. My other hobby is cooking, followed by literature, philosophy, fitness, conspiracies, jazz music, and nature. I want to enjoy as much of life as I can and cherish every moment.

For the ladies: I'm 6 feet tall, weigh 170 pounds (lbs), brown hair, grey eyes, single and unmarried! I DO NOT look at porn and I DON'T smoke or drink either! I am very serious and committed to fitness, and do not like to use substances or abuse my body in any way.

If you want to ask me more about my philosophy and stuff then go ahead and PM me.

My brother doesn't smoke and drink either. But 'for the ladies' is lost on me as I am asexual and not into dating or finding someone.

My name is Allison. I am 18 years old and I am taking a year off after high school and might start university in the fall. I live with my parents and younger brother who also has autism. One of my hobbies is writing. I write a variety of things; I especially like to write books about people with disabilities and other differences, such as being trans. I am also really into "Choose Your Own Adventure" type books and like writing those. I also like making up "imaginary worlds" in my head and thinking about them and developing details for them. My latest imaginary world features a planet of aliens. I am asexual and quoiromantic, which means I experience intense obsessions with people but can't tell if they are romantic or not. I am very sensitive, irritable, and easily upset, but I try to be a kind person.

Hello everyone. New to the forum so I'll introduce myself. Names William but you can call me Will if you want. 24 Years old While I'm not entirely sure if I have autism, I know in 2ND grade my teacher thought I was. I've also had to have separate testing starting from 3rd grade and into high school but I never truly knew if I was autistic. I didn't even really think much of it till 2 years ago when I looked up the signs.

I'm still not sure but I suspect I do. I spoke to a friend of mine and he suggested I come to this forum. I'm hoping to meet other people who might be able to help me figure out where to go and how to live with autism.

I love to draw and I've always loved cartoons and comics. It's one of the things I hope to do professionally and I'm currently in school for animation. I like to sculpt as well, am a huge fan of horror movies, more so the 80's and 90's flicks, and am a huge lover of old school R and B music. Very at and awkward though, especially around people I don't know. Especially the opposite sex, never really been good at it. I've had relationships before but they never really worked out and I always thought it was me or I was the problem. I know that most likely wasn't the issue but it does get to you at times. Sometimes even worrying if I'm attractive, though many of people have told me I am.

Anyway nice to be here and I hope to make this a great experience.

I am extremely asocial and I actually hate people.
I don't smoke.
There are exactly the same number of years age difference between both myself and my favourite female vocalist and myself and my least favourite female vocalist.

Hello y'all,

My name is of no concern and, I am an alcoholic. It has been 10 years since my last dramatical sabbatical but that's typical I think.....
"I" before "e" eccept after "c" unless you live in australia when in that case it's reversed

any way here we go.....


In my attempt to find myself I have found that if you spend your time inundated in the concerns of others you are bound to find a perpetual void of emptiness in which any endeavor to fill will most likely be met with a loss of oneself. I have found that this loss of oneself leads to a fear of loss which in turn reflects a loss of acceptance. Only when when you achieve acceptance of yourself will you be accepted by others. Unacceptance of oneself weaves into the steel trap jaws of hatred towards others which strikes ones soul like double edged blades.
To look through the eyes of those whom you know not is to gain a better understanding of that which is and will be.


I have the same thoughts. But as for acceptance. I will not ask them to accept me and i will never try to do it. They inflicted heavy damages on me - the "normies".
I decided to live without interaction with normies whom i hate. I would be glad to talk to people who are like me. I have such experiance .My yonger brother Aspe too, he understands me. But now we are living apart and i'm lonely.

I'm a 19 year old dude looking for a possible soul mate, someone to spend my life with. I live in Texas. There honestly isn't much that I could do with my life, even if I want to.



I just want a girlfriend who will stand by me no matter what and trust that I generally know what I'm doing. I'm not asking to be worshipped or anything, just for someone to generally trust me.


I used to love reading and writing, but not so much anymore. My interests include politics, science, history, paleontology/astronomy.


I enjoy the simple things in life. Cooking, cuddling, binge-watching netflix and youtube. Especially horror-themed channels like tatstopsvideos, scaretheater, blameitonjorge. I also like to work out and occasionally play video games.

Favorite shows include the Amazing World of Gumball, Ben 10, Power Rangers, Voltron: Legendary Defender, Danny Phantom, the original Teen Titans, Archer and Bojack Horseman.


Music-wise, I like rap, rock, punk, metal, grunge, rapcore and some electronic and electro-swing.


I'm really skinny, very tall and almost underweight. I have tan skin because I'm mixed-race spanish/latino and german. Glasses. And black hair dyed purple. I have two awesome tattoos on my arms.

Lately I've become a sort of amateur artist and illustrator, and I would love someone to draw and color with me or tell me what they think of my drawings. Or cuddle with me while I draw and color.


I'm a non-religious person and I want someone who is also non-religious. I'm also never ever ever having children and I want to get a vasectomy eventually.


I would hope that my partner would become so involved in my life that they would almost become a part of my family. I love my amazing family and people in my life and I want them to be a part of them with me. Due to my disorders (bipolar 2 disorder, major depressive, ptsd and ocd traits) I will always need to live with my family and I won't be able to survive without them. But its not so bad at all, and I might as well have someone who moves in with me or at least eventually moves close enough to me.



I'm totally down for another long distance relationship, as long as we really are compatible and can work towards the future.


As a side note, almost all of my recent girlfriends are boyish, punkish women who are slightly older than me, especially with tattoos, glasses, disorders or family issues. I hope this doesn't sound fetishistic, this is just my history. I've never dated a fellow aspie before. Just neurotypicals.
