Friendship Board - Age 19 Onwards

Post Reply New Topic

Hi! I'm 25 & a female. I'm not dxed professionally for personal reasons, but I write a lot, collect star wars stuff, like to watch sci fi and horror, and I recently made a new Xbox account because I got really into Gwenpool and realized it was new enough that not all the good accounts of her name would be gone (I'm too cheap to pay $10 to change my name again. lol). I just started playing Overwatch and would love to have someone to play with! My gamer tag is Gw3np00L. I don't do voice chat, phone calls, or video chats because it makes me anxious and I usually either end up stimming, crying, or screaming. But I love texting and stuff like that. I even have KIK! PM me if you wanna be friends!

Hi! I'm 26 and I am a woman. I love cats, looking at nature, walking, talking about interests such as science, anime, politics as long as its not a big fight-- if it is then get ready for a full scale flight or fight. (Debate or me going to another place in my head). I do being competitive at times and sometimes doing something daredevil-like. For example jumping from heights and doing things like climbing a tree really high up without thinking how to come down. Right now I'm depressed. I've been this way off and on. Its hard to live in a family that is overstimulating at times, and so I have to run off a lot like on long hikes or in my room. Its hard to get silence unless I do this or move. I need help in moving since it is hard for me to keep up and keep jobs (longest for 3 years) due to social or noise issues. I hope I can make friends.

Hi, I'm Dominic, and I'm 23. I enjoy music, I enjoy meeting new people, sometimes. I enjoy trying to make up stories in my head when I listen to music sometimes. I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 3.

Hi, I'm Andy from the UK in the High Peak area. I have or did have many interests including science, space, sci fi, psychology and of course computers. I used to rock climb and get out and about in the countryside and also had a big love of fast motor bikes and most things that invoke adrenaline but of late over the last ten years or so I've just been heading down hill in my mood. I've never been very good at socializing and talking to people although given time I made friends with some certain people but most people just ridiculed me for being weird and different. I've always just put on a front when I was younger to try and hide my true self to people in the hope of fitting in and looking normal but as I have got older (50 last month) I just find it harder to blend in even with older friends. I think this is down to depression among other things but I struggle to talk about myself to others and over the last few years I've just gone deeper and deeper within myself and hardly ever see anyone anymore. I think also I'm prone to saying the wrong thing to people not purposely but I tend to be too honest and not very politically correct which in this day and age seems to upset people even more so I find it safer just not to speak if I can help it. I've even made friends on here and after a short while they have stopped speaking to me probably cos of something I've said wrong. I met a great girl on here in the summer and we chatted like old friends and I really had a connection with her. I knew I would probably never meet her but it was just nice to have someone who understood me but as of a 3 or 4 months ago she politely said to me basically, it5s nice to have got to know me and wished me well then I never heard from her again. I really struggle to make first contact with people and never know when to speak and when not to so maybe I just haven't met anyone that gets me yet but I am a good honest person but maybe I'm just a bit too honest and direct. Anyway I think I've rambled on enough now so if anyone is still awake and would like someone to talk to over the Christmas\New year then please message me cos I really could do with a friend right now and sorry if If I've lowered the mood a little but I guess there are other people out there also not feeling the Christmas cheer. All the best to everyone and lets hope the new year will be a good one

I'm Mark and I'm 40, living in Mount Dandenong, east of Melbourne, Australia. Currently I'm lead engineer for a web application, specialising in backend API and infrastructure services. My hobbies including model railways, tabletop gaming, walking and geocaching - none of which require a crowd. I also really love my non-human friends, and particularly our 2yo miniature poodle.

Hello. I'm 20 years old, I live in Massachusetts, and go to school in Boston. Currently in a very stressful major and taking it one day at a time. My hobbies and interests include drawing, painting, writing stories, learning languages, and listening to Kpop. Also the latest tv shows I've been watching have been Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder. I struggle with depression and Asperger's so I don't make friends easily, but I'd love to meet people around my age here.

I'm twenty nine, a tattooist, I play guitar, live in the bible belt and love to argue with Christians lol. I am too blunt, black and white, and I don't have a filter. I enjoy music, art, and conspiracy theories. I enjoy learning about everything. Mainly existential questions and the history of mankind. I hope someone else out there is as...out there as I am. I've given up on social media. Being in Texas, it's hard to come by anything intelligent.

Hi,
My name is Emily and I am 19. I live in the US and was just diagnosed with Autism yesterday. I mean I've always know but now it's "official." I have a boyfriend but no friend outside of him. Looking to make some friends. My mom has compared me to the equivalent of a female Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

Hi. I'm female, mid-thirties. I have two children and a long-term partner. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with me my whole life. A few years ago I decided I probably had Aspergers, but didn't research it thoroughly...until now, because my child's counselor suggested he get tested. I am now certain we both are high functioning autistics. It is like coming home. I sometimes get angry that no one diagnosed me earlier. I have seen all kinds of therapists, etc through my life and dealt with crippling social problems and severe depression. But then again, maybe my life wouldn't have been better because then I would have been labeled with a disability. It's hard to say.
I would love to get to know people who think like me and can understand me without thinking I'm a snob or weird or too quiet.
I enjoy art. I have lived in a few other countries. I like to go on road trips. I'm a vegan and an atheist. And a feminist too. All that good liberal stuff.
I'm not sure there is much use in getting diagnosed at this point. I have adjusted and figured out things for myself. I used to teach, then I was a stay at home mom for 6 years. Now I have a good part time job and would love to work more.
I don't know anyone (for sure) that is on the spectrum, besides my 6 year old. I would really like getting to know some similar people. So, hi.

Hello, everyone. I'm Brian, and I'm currently in college in California. I like paleontology, Mass Effect, and Frank Zappa.

Hi, I'm Kael! I'm 24 years old (will be 25 soon), live in Southern California and just recently graduated from college in December with a BA in English Studies and a minor in Creative Writing. I plan to get into the editing and publishing industry in the future as an editor and would like to publish a book (or more) of poetry and nonfiction someday. I joined this community over a year ago and haven't been very active due to school, but am planning on becoming more active now. I think this is a great way to connect with other folks like myself (I have high functioning autism with traits of AS), and am proud to be a part of this wonderful community!

I didn't see any threads for messaging, but if anyone has kik they can add me (hagbaggins)

Uh hi everyone. I've never used a forum before in my life. I'm a high functioning autistic 22 year old. I'm not sure exactly sure where I fit in. Seeing as I have 0 friends in real life.. I was diagnosed late in my life. At 18 to be specific. So uh... cheers to new friends? /:

Hi everyone, I am 26, and from Essex in the UK.

I love music, and attended the British academy of new music when I was in my late teens on a music production course. I never managed to follow that as a career though, I would love to someday though. I ended up becoming a carer in nursing homes for some time.
That was not very nice work though, and I do not wish to to that anymore.

I am new to this forum- I am very sure I do have aspergers, although have not been officially diagnosed. Just many of my traits seem to be that way for sure.

I split with my Fiance just before Christmas, so am looking to make friends really. We was together for 6 years, and she was my best friend as well as my partner so I feel a bit lost right now.

I live with my Mum and Grandad at the moment. I don't actually see that as an issue though myself like some people do. I get on well with my family, and living alone is a lot of money!

If anyone would like to talk, feel free to message me or reply here. It would be nice to make some new friends who understand what its like to be a bit different.

hello my name is Andrew and im 23 years old who loves video gaming and movie making soon i will get my associate degree in general studies. i was diagnosed with aspergers at the age of 12
