I am Tom, i am diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder normally i don't go to forums, or other web-pages like it. I have been having a lot of trouble recently, and feel lost. I am just hoping for some conversation, or just perhaps something that i could read around here that might be helpful or comforting. Most likely i will never get a high post count though. I am reading through all of the pages at the moment, so any interest in talking at all, and i would appreciate it.

Hi, Tom, welcome to WP! :)

Post as often or as little as you wish. If you have any questions or just want to talk about something, that's what we're here for.

It has been fairly stressful for me recently. Found out of my mother cheating on my father and he doesn't know. Normally i get along better with my mother but she has been massively insane lately. Along with that i have felt barely able to think half the time. I have tried to look into apartments but i don't really know how to search them. Both of them are refusing any support in this, and it seems close to more than i can just figure out on my own. The girl i had been dating, and cared greatly about also recently left me. There are many things that are adding up on top of each other.

Normally i also do not complain this much.

That's complaining? :lol:

Seriously, that sounds difficult to deal with--more than you should have to.

Searching for apartments: give these a try:

www.apartmentfinder.com
www.apartments.com
www.apartmentguide.com
www.mynewplace.com

Also, try the listings in your local newspaper. Write down phone numbers and make some calls.

Beforehand, make a list of criteria (price range, location, amenities, etc.). That'll help you narrow the field.

As for what's going on with your parents, I don't know the details of the situation so I can't suggest whether or not you should tell your dad. It's not fair that you have to be saddled with this information.

I'm sorry about your relationship ending. I hope you start to feel better soon.

Take care.

It is defiantly complaining.

I have found websites before, but i don't know exactly what i should be aiming for. Price, or what i need in the apartment. I dont know safe neighborhoods, or what is considered a good price for what your getting.

Price: what you can afford to pay each month after utilities (unless those are included in the rent).

What you need: washer/dryer, microwave/fridge included? Heating/air conditioning? On-site maintenance?

Good price for what you are getting: this largely depends on location because the housing markets are different everywhere.

If you want to talk about this more privately, please PM me.
