I'd really love to make some Aspie friends. I don't really have trouble making NT friends, but I get uninterested in them pretty quickly. Especially NT girls. At first they seem nice and understanding of my idiosyncrasies, but then I start hearing about the things that they say behind my back. I just really don't have room for the cattiness in my life. I've lived in the San Diego area for the past decade and after I discovered Asperger's, I tried looking for HFA/AS support groups but I never really came across any. I'm moving to Las Vegas this weekend and I found a pretty active group online today, so I'm definitely looking forward to getting involved with that as soon as I can. :D

Though you should think about moving to Chester as Oli is very wonderful, Im sure it would be worth it!


Thank you very much. Usually when people try and think of an adjective beginning with w to describe me they choose weird. Although actually I'm not sure if I or anyone else is enough to make Chester the best place to live.

None taken.

I think the aspies up in the north-west must be shy, I put a message up a couple of days ago and no responses :(

Wow. Las Vegas. That seems like the worst place imaginable in which to live for someone with Asperger's. Why are you moving there?

For the topic at hand, I don't know anyone with Asperger's.

We got a place that's on the opposite end of the city from the Strip, so I won't have to deal with all the crowds, noises, and lights. It's actually a pretty quiet, suburban neighborhood. We're moving out there because my step dad got a really great job there, and it's a lot cheaper to live there than California is.

That makes sense. I had the impression that you decided on your own what a wonderful thing it would be to live in the middle of Las Vegas.

Lol, definitely not. I voted for Portland, Oregon when we were discussing moving, but then the Las Vegas job popped up. So hopefully someday I'll get up to Portland. It sounds like heaven up there.

I very much prefer the east coast, especially the northeast, though some day I'd like to have a home in England, preferably not far from London.

England would be an amazing place to live. I was looking at colleges in England and Wales a couple years ago. It would have been horrendously expensive to go to one though, so I stayed here. I definitely want to vacation in England, Scotland, and Ireland one day though.

They do seem like such lovely places, especially when viewed after spending all of one's years in America. It can be so boring here.

After living in America, going to a country where people still read books would suit me just fine. I'm not looking for a thrill ride.
