| In the real world I find there's too few opportunities and when there is potential, guys are the ones who mostly have to make the move. That is very tough for an Aspie or someone with anxiety. It's hard to read the signs and I normally don't ask anyone out because of this. If I did on a whim and the... |

| It's all about how someone comes across. NT's might not know what Aspergers, Anxiety or anything like that is. See it this way, is someone tries socialising with someone who can't think of anything to say and has no input in the conversation, that person will be seen as boring and perhaps rude. If s... |

| Kind of agree there. Relationships have been a bit of luck for me, which initially formed based on looks as i'm not that bad looking. I used what I had learned and the fact I could grow to be a bit comfortable around them over time. No matter how comfortable I felt though, I always found it so tough... |

| I cannot use it anymore. No idea if it's an Aspie thing, or just depression and isolation as to why I do this. It's like I can't help but rant on. I go on FB, and it's kind of like I detail my whole life story in statuses. I have no idea how to be on there at all. I even try to tell myself "rig... |

| Sorry, should have said it was more serious than an ankle scan, but didn't want to mention exactly what it was. The taxi likely would have been a bit more than £5, but that was the thing with it. I can't remember the exact amount it would have been but it was 4 years ago. It was an early appointment... |

| Primary school.... AMAZING!! ! I loved every second of it. I could be myself. At that age, from what I experienced, kids don't care how you come across, it's about similar interests. Kids who liked the same sports team, pogs, football stickers, clothes, music, etc happened to group together. It was ... |

| For me I always found it to be a complete blag. I'm not a bad looking guy which had it's advantages.... No chance of meeting women in person by chance due to symptoms, so online..... perfect. What would happen is I was truthful about myself, but just wouldn't disclose stuff about Aspergers (Well I d... |

| Good to hear from people who can relate. That is exactly me with the meltdowns and ruining the next could of days. 1 conversation a while back was about my work days years ago (before all the depression and stuff zapped me). I can't seem to piece things together quickly. It's as if I haven't heard w... |

| It's UK Hardcore so definitely don't play it if you don't like that genre or EDM as it won't be up your street at all. I guess that's 1 thing Aspergers has been good for. Due to no friends, isolation and so on I spent years obsessed with music production. At 1 point I was having some label releases ... |

| I find it so difficult to socialise at all. What I always experience are anxiety symptoms. Heavy eyes, sweating, dizziness, cramps in legs and 1 of the worst things..... brain fog. This is for no reason at all either. Walking down the road, in a group, not in a group, in a coffee shop. It's always l... |

| Hey there, I hope everyone is well. Great to be here. Just a bit about me. I'm 31 and I always knew something was wrong or different about me, yet could never understand what it was. It was in my early 20's when based on some of my symptoms, I thought I had anxiety problems. Upon going to the dr's t... |
