Constantly moving house

Post Reply New Topic

I wonder if other Aspies move house as much as i do.. I seem to move for one reason or another every 2-6 months. Due to where I live and my limited means I do a lot of flatting. I wish I could just have my own house and not have to be constantly in transit..

At the last place I lived there was a very uptight, passive aggressive electronics student, a rude chick in her late 20s and a young couple. I liked the house because it had a swimming pool and I had a room down stairs out of everyone's way where I could have peace and quiet. The young couple moved out soon after I moved in, to buy their first house together. I lived there for 4 weeks without incident. I stayed in my room most of the time and was clean and respectful and polite when I saw them. Then one day I found out that the student was moving out to live with his girl friend and the Rude chick was taking over the lease. I think she was lonely and might have been disappointed in my lack of interest in her. She told me that it was to be turned into a 'girl flat' and that I had to go. She would not tell me the real reason but I could sense that it was something else.

Soon there were people coming to look at my room every evening..you can imagine how much I liked that!! being disturbed constantly.. But, there were all young males...

The night I moved my stuff out I was feeling very resentful and confused and I said something like 'I hope your very f*****g happy, living here with you has sucked'. She called me a 'FREAK' and at that moment I was shocked.. No one has ever called me a freak, at least not the way that she said it. It stuck in my mind a little bit and I was searching my memory to see if I had given her any reason to think so.

The only thing I can think of is my disorganized sleeping pattern and reclusive nature.. She was a b***h anyway, I am so glad I did not sleep with her.

I have many varying stories of flats where it has not worked out. I am pretty relaxed, non judgmental and friendly.. I do not bother anyone, I keep to myself most of the time. I am clean and pay my rent but people just struggle with me for some reason, I think it's them. I don't know how to end this post sorry....................... :L

I stayed at my ex girl friends house for one night, then I went to a hostel for a week and now I am at my parents house. I feel like I am roting away in my room. I only come out to wash, get food, use the toilet most of the time. I sit on my computer or watch dvds.. I am wasting my life and I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO GIVE THIS WORLD ....f**k IT

I try not to move house wherever possible. However, in 2010, I moved house 4 times just in that year alone and that was really stressful. This was due to me splitting up with someone, then having noisy neighbours and then me getting into another relationship and moving in with him. Thankfully I haven't moved in a while, although we are planning on doing so fairly soon...

My mom moved us about 20 times when I was growing up. That's hard for any child, but for an aspie it was kind of torturous. I still have issues from it. I absolutely hate moving, and have stayed in places much longer than I should have just so I wouldn't have to deal with the move. It's not as bad now that I'm part of the decision to move or not, but every move is still traumatic. I've about decided to reduce my possessions to a good laptop, a kindle, and one suitcase of clothes to reduce the trauma involved.

I moved out of my parents house and bought my own in my early twenties. I have not moved since. Sadly though, I have managed to acquire more crap than I need and I now have to fight through my executive functioning issues and excessive attachment to some of it in order to get rid of a lot of things and get my home back in order.

My family moved a lot, especially during my early teen years. Dates of moves (that I can remember):

October 2002 (age 8 )
November 2008 (age 14)
October 2009 (age 15)
October/November 2010 (age 16)
May 2011 (age 16)
December 2011 (age 17)

My family is currently in the process of looking for a new home again. The reason we move around a lot is because all these houses were rentals. My parents declared bankruptcy in 2008, making it impossible to buy a house right away. We won't be able to buy until October, but because I'm getting older and will soon be going off to college, my parents want to rent temporarily until they can buy a house in a different town.

Nope. Move as little as possible. I probably have the crummiest room at Twin Oaks, could have upgraded many times, but I like to stay put. The activity, such as it is, in my life happens in my head.

When I first started working and couldn't afford (or at least perceived I couldn't afford) to rent a flat or anywhere else self contained all to myself, I rented a bedsit rather than share living space with other people. The only thing I shared was the bathroom, but it was more independence than actually sharing a flat like I'd had to do as a student.

I was moved around very frequently as a child, not quite 20 times but almost. Since living independently I too have had several moves, although I have been trying my best to settle in one place. This hasn't been possible because I have often not coped at addresses, as it's been more than likely I ended up right among antisocial behaviour (often quite extreme) from neighbours.

I haven't moved much as an adult, but as a child - yes. I've lived in 8 different places by the time I was 13. I didn't really like it, but it wasn't my choice.
