| Very hard. First, i feel like I have nothing in common. I don't follow movie stars or watch sports. My own interests are not interesting to NT people. I can do OK socially if i am with like minded people. IE talking about caving at a caving event. Drinking helped loosen me up a bit and lower my anxi... |

| Suicidal thoughts have haunted me for decades. Came close to doing the deed several times. I totally identify with the depression /alienation part of it. In my school days I simply gave up and stopped even trying to "fit in". Nobody even noticed me, teachers or parents. That's how "in... |

Thanks everyone.
As luck has it, I met a man at an AA meeting yesterday. He likes some of the same things I do like old vacuum tube stereo amps. We traded emails

| Hello I was here before a few years when I only suspected I was on the spectrum. Last week I got the official diagnosis from a psychiatrist that I am "on the Autism spectrum". That explains a lot of things in my life. Too bad they weren't recognising aspergers 30 years ago. A lot of struggling could... |

| I prefer lots of light. lots of windows. My house has open fields all around it, only a few trees. This room has a chandelier with 5- 100w equiv. CFLs in it that I turn on when I do electronic work. It's like full sunshine when it's on. The windows also provide passive solar heat on cold sunny days. |

TV commercials irritate me to no end. Finally got rid of the dish and only watch internet TV.
clanging pots and pans sometime necessary but hard on my ears anyway.
cars/trucks with loud mufflers if it's broken, fix it. If that exhaust is loud on purpose, whats the point? |
