Sorry to hear about that. I was bullied in Junior High and High School as well. Still dealing with the depression, anxiety, and rage from those years, even though I am 38 now. Feel free to PM me anytime.

Good day!
I’m Reptile, currently 23 years old and living in Germany. I was diagnosed with AS at the age of 21.
My existence is pretty isolated for the most part and I don’t have friends I can relate to except for one person who is a good friend, lives far away and is the complete opposite of me.
The apartment I live in turned into something like a bastion for me. Although I live in a big city I am somewhat of a hermit and I didn’t even bother being alone two years ago but then all of the sudden wanted to socialise again and have friends to share my interests and world with.

There are tons of things that fascinate me. My oldest fascinations are history and herpetology.
Other interests would be: Psychology, biology, medical science, politics, literature, manga/anime, gaming and music (especially metal)

Activity wise I write novels and RPGs, play videogames, go hiking and love to philosophise. I still draw sometimes even though I don’t do that regularly anymore.

I’d be glad if I’d find some friends here whom I can relate to and who might be able to relate to me. Well, that’s sort of a challenge I suppose.

I am a woman at 32 years old. Born in 1984. I love photo and writing, like to read commercials and collect bjd dolls. I am norwegian and living at hospital. I would love someone to write with! Even my english is far from perfect. I do not bite (only sometimes, when life is very hard).

Female, in my 20's, faithfully married. American living in Chiba (near Tokyo). Been in Japan almost 2 years. Tried teaching English but my social skills are quite unsettling for most students. Taking the JLPT N3 exam in December and looking for a job (part time to avoid burnout) that isn't as social outside of my coworkers. To be honest my special interest is the boy band Arashi, so if you like them please PM me. I used to live near Nagoya and my ex-coworker loved Arashi too and we even went to their concert together. If I could find another friend like that it would be awesome, but if you have different interests, it is cool too.

Male, in my 30's, from Canada. My interests are computers, coding languages, programming languages, and music: especially original scores from movies. I'm open to being friends with anyone, even people with different interests. I highly believe in this quote: united we stand, divided we fall.

Hello, my name is n8. I am 23 yrs old and live in CA.

I enjoy watching movies, writing and reading books. If you want to be friends, just ask :)

In real life I don't relate to anyone. I know one person who is at least Allistic, and I relate with him more than the other NTs, but that's it.

Hello!

At the time of this writing, I am male, 25 and I come from Eastern Europe and speak 3 languages (okay, more like 2, but I understand 3).
Yes, it appears that I am also having Aspergers in a moderate form, and I often
find life to be extra difficult in part because of the limited social skillset.

Speaking of social skillset, I have learned to read body language fairly well, but I am yet to master
other social skills. Small talk is always an issue for me.
Incomplete set of social skills means I do not get along well with neurotypicals, and I have to admit that to reach
any kind of success in life, this has to change.

I always have a lot going on my mind, but I am never sure how to get things done. I have studied Architecture and
Programming, but again, one needs good social skillset to thrive in both of these career paths :(
In my free time I like watching a lot of Youtube videos and I sometimes also fly my racing quadcopter.

I have a feeling that I was simply born in a wrong century. I would do much better in hunter gatherer lifestyle

Feel free to pm if interested, it would be nice and probably benefitial to have a couple online friends.
I am looking for a good friendship, and, if you are a girl, you already know :)

Hi everyone. My name is Jay, and I'm a 24 y/o male* from the USA, specifically California (Bay Area represent!). I'm a card-carrying aspie with depression, anxiety, no friends and no real family to speak of and there's a strong possibility that I might have Borderline Personality Disorder. Also, I'm currently homeless. I know, I'd be envious too.

My main interests include psychology, literature, astrology, gaming and anime. I have a morbid sense of humor, I'm simultaneously too mean AND too nice, I adore animals (cats are my weakness), I hardly ever tell jokes or laugh yet I still have a tendency to laugh at my own jokes, I'm partial to pastel colors, I'm practicing mindfullness, I'm shy but I still talk too much, I'm an incorrigible perfectionist (I've already edited this post more than thrice lord help me), I like debating and arguing with myself, I obsess over EVERYTHING, my username is a song that's stuck in my head right now, I'm a huge weirdo, I am the embodiment of TMI (assuming you haven't noticed already), I complain too much and I sometimes have trouble believing I'm really in my mid-20s and not my early-60s (or that I'm an overgrown 6 y/o).

I'm pretty open-minded and (almost) literally nothing you can say will faze me, so any and all questions or PMs are welcome! I look forward to getting to know you fine people!

27-year-old Minnesotan, more solitary than not (like most here I'd assume :p). I still try to be friendly and sociable when I can, although most of the people I knew growing up have since drifted or moved overseas. Late 20's-30's are a hard time to make new friends which I was never that good at to begin with.

As for hobbies, I like writing, reading, animals and animal behavior, astronomy, and PC gaming. Currently reading Stephen King's Full Dark, No Stars.

Hi all, my name is Jesse. I joined this community a few years ago but my interaction has thus far been intermittent and scant, in large part due to my previous self conscious anxieties; however i've made noteworthy progress in that regard and inspite of my lingering self conscious tendencies, (a common struggle, I know.) want to engage more so with others on the spectrum or just in general.

I would say my interests are varied but a few I can narrow down perhaps... might be Theology, philosophy, history, humanities, a little bit of writing, sociology and psychology.

I used to be way into gaming, though that has waned in the recent years dramatically, though I still retain a casual interest perhaps, just not like I once was.

I enjoy analyzing people, ideas, cultures, I would say I could be a bit too philosophical and broody.... perhaps.

Anywho, I thought I'd put myself out there, I welcome any PMs and would love to get to know you all and participate more so in the community and understand new perspectives and struggles and to perhaps broaden my own and make new friendships.

Hi there! My name's Ashley. ^_^ I'm 19, transgender female, and I live in the state of Illinois, near the St Louis area. I'm kind of a nerd, especially when it comes to video games and animation. I'm also a writer, and like to think I'm pretty not bad at it. So if anyone wants to talk about any of the above, I'm your girl! I'm also really introspective and moody and soul searchy right now, so if anyone's looking for someone else to be those things with, I am too, haha. Hope to talk to some of you soon!

Hi, my name's Ruby, I'm 20 years old and I'm from England. I have a lot of interests, like Harry Potter, Star Wars, LOTR and The Hobbit, languages in general, astronomy, psychology and other things. I especially love learning about medicine and medical procedures!
I have a full time job and find it so difficult to communicate with my neurotypical co-workers! I just don't understand people and making friends is hard. My only friend is my boyfriend who is also autistic. I would like to make friends so feel free to pm if you want to chat, I like talking to people with any interests; even if I don't share the same interests as another person, I would like to learn about them :)
