I never really wanted to be there. I guess I saw it as a maturity milestone but I just never attained it. Never had enough friends either and volley ball on your own can get very tiring! :)

when I was in high school, I couldn't get anybody in PE to want to participate in anything with me, so when the PE instructors weren't making me do paperwork in their office, I basically occupied myself with a badminton racket and shuttlecock, I would bounce the thing in the air, run around to the other side before it landed, then launch it upwards once again, run to the other side, over and over. it was surprisingly good exercise! :bounce:

Nah, being a veteran on WP is Cool! It gives me a feeling of belonging. It's about the only place on Terra that I'm social and feel at home with. It's the only place where I've hung with humans for so long! I actually feel at home here because I'm surrounded by a bunch of people who experience life in a similar way to me. The only people I've been able to feel akin to.

Make no mistake though, I'm a solitary creature and will defend my solitude aggressively.

Wrong Planet is a good sounding board to find out what's normal, how one should feel and act and it's also a good source of company that's not too much in your face and I can turn off my laptop any time I choose!

I hope so and I also miss not being able to look up if someone is diagnosed or not!

I love it when I buy a book from a seller on eBay or Amazon Marketplace and they throw a free bookmark in with the package. With as many books as I always have going at any given time, I can never have too many.

I hate it when I'm walking in town amongst the crowd of people - I seem to be the only one constantly scurrying out of people's way like a little mouse.

I only have to have someone come up behind me unexpectedly and I jump. I hate having to work in the city. Too many people in too smaller space!

I have had friends in the past. Every now and again (more again) someone will decide to befriend me and I find it annoying (but can't be rude and say "GO AWAY!"). I'm not and never have been interested or needed friends but I've got to admit, I've let some really good people go. I never noticed at the time as I was too caught up in my own life/Special Interests but in hindsight, I've let some really good people go out of my life. I don't mean to.

As I've always said about me, it's as if I've got horse blinkers on. As soon as someone goes out of my 'field of vision', they're also out of mind. It just happens. I just don't value friendship like I should. I'm sorry. What can I say? I'm just not that into people. I have no interest in them. They have no interest in me!

I don't regret being a loner. In fact, I LOVE IT but, I have lost some good people. I don't feel sorry because I don't feel I'm missing out on anything. Maybe I am. Maybe I sense I'm missing out on a normal life but I can't be anything different to what I am.

There is a feeling of sadness there but I don't know why. Maybe because I feel I've let them down (don't think so). Maybe because I could see the point where my life and a normal person's life deviate and I could see what I needed to do to be 'normal' but I just couldn't do it and didn't want to. Who knows? It's all a big ball of mind-f@ck to me at the moment but then again, I have been drinking (again)!

All I know is I'm happy alone and that will be my eternity. I've done the relationship thing once and it didn't end pretty. I prefer solitude!

Is that random? Who cares! I got that off of my chest!

It's hard to accept the fact that my entire family has turned on me. I'm all alone. My immediate family (Mum, Sister) haven't contacted me in months for a reason. We're feuding.

But although I'm not enjoying the discord, I certainly am enjoying the solitude, peace & quiet! I've been all alone at my Mum's place now for about 6 months AND IT'S BEEN THE BEST 6 MONTHS OF MY LIFE!!

I'm torn between wanting to see my Mum again and living alone.

Why do I always feel the need to synchronise all of my clocks to the absolute millisecond to the atomic clock at the CSIRO, NSW?

It's not a hassle. I love being so accurate but I think it's indicative of something. Don't know what! Does anyone have any clues?

Is my need for accuracy a part of my 'condition'? Is this need to have my clocks set correctly to the millisecond part of having Asperger's?

I ACTUALLY WANT A REPLY TO THIS!!

wish I could give you the definitive answer you desire, but this aspie is relatively casual about such things. so I would not say that it is necessarily a feature of AS.

You've got some nerve!


Yeah, "In ya nose" CockneyRebel :) "you've got some nerve" :)

LOL

I think I've got nerve damage from drinking too much or from stress. I get tingling in BOTH FEET when I walk on them. Both feet is a worry. It's not local. It's systemic. Further up! Oh!

No, maybe it's more a part of my OCD but time accuracy has always been important to me.

If ever I've got to be anywhere at a certain time, I always make sure I'm there on time to the second. I've always been like that. If you say you're going to do something or be somewhere at a certain time, you do it!
