There is such a thing called Facebook for Aspies. That's where I am, right now and it feels a lot safer for me, as well.

Is it a group within facebook, or a complete separate site?

Another issue I have is that people will post photos of their sparkling, successful lives, shiny-faced kids, details of their perfect jobs, (or so they would like others to think) but I have no idea how to dress up the fact that I live with my parents, and am on a benefit for anxiety and AS. How do I make that look appealing and arouse the envy of ex-classmates at highschool? Lol.


I so agree. I used to be able to dress my life up a little by going fishing, but now, on paper its terrible. Its not that much fun in real life either. I think that's how I lost my family!
