I have met five people from WP (Raylynn, LiendaBalla, Darkness2004, AspieGirl87, and Justthatgirl(forgot the number at the end)).

If given the chance, there are quite a few people that I would like to meet.

It's still not likely cause I live in a different state.

Funnily enough, Orbyss, you're one of the people I'd like to meet. You seem intelligent and opinionated, qualities I like in people, especially women, friend or otherwise; this is also the reason why I'd like to meet MissConstrue.

I'd like to meet Nekowafer, because we've had a lot of talks on MSN and I think we'd get along really well.
I'd like to meet lotusblossom because, before I ended up in a relationship, she seems like she'd be my kind of woman.
I'd like to meet Tim Tex because he seems like the sweetest guy, even if I disagree with him sometimes.

And I'd like to meet Flutter, because he's been around, he knows so much and just seems like he'd be a good time.

I know I said I don't like to mix my Internet life and real life, but if I happened to meet some people here I wouldn't mind...

Orbyss, Butterflair, and sunshower are the women on this forum I would theoretically like to meet some day... I have had some conversations helping all of them out with understanding male aspies in relationships in addition to my own shortcomings, and these are people I think that would be willing to help me understand some of the nuances regarding social interaction in general... There were others, like Hon, that I also helped, but who later left after they broke up with their aspie boyfriends and therefore had no reason to return to the forums...

Tim Tex, since he respects mah authoritah... (seriously though, move to New Jersey... there's quite a few liberal-to-mainstream christians around here... one can't really be a bigoted freak here when there's sizeable populations of jews and muslims around... and all three religions tend to get along better than they do in other states, especially when compared to the South...)

Ragtime, since I think we would probably have an interesting theological debate that isn't just ranting about the same 3 topics (homosexuality, abortion, and war)

And probably sinsboldly for a chance to explain that I'm not really like that... (I was really pissed off at some unrelated stuff last night and ended up starting a flamewar against her...)

...and why you posted this on L&D?

Anyways, good luck and hope you find what you are seeking.

If one doesn't post in more than a couple forums, then people that don't visit those forums won't have any idea who those are...

I only go to L&D, PPR, Gamer, Computers Sci and Tech, and occasionally Health or Social Skills... I've only posted three times in the autism activism one, never even been to the haven, and was formerly active in the Adult forum (although no longer...)

If Orbyss posted this in the Haven, I would never have seen it...

I'm not sure if I'm not mistaking you with anyone Orbyss, but I think I remember you from the "nice guys" thread where I actually read all 5 or 6 pages and found your comments very interesting and exactly what I would've written about it. so I bet that given a chance of a beer in your company it wouldn't be at all unpleasant :D

hope you'll still drop by every now and then! take care!

Actually, i`ve "met" alot of people on wp i would
love to meet for just a coffee or something, think
it could be nice. But not much chance for that
happening unfortunatly for several different
reasons :( But, next time i`m near Pittsburgh
i might have to drop by Jawbrodt, i owe him
a case of beer i promised him in a post :wink:
Theres many others also but i feel a little off
making a list of names - anyway, good people.

Good luck Orbyss, if you decide to leave.

I have met only one person on Wrong Planet and the person was Spokane Girl.

If opportunity comes, there are many users I would like to meet.

I have never really talked to anyone from WP outside of the forums, but I wouldn't mind meeting someone from here in person, or even chat on messenger with them.

Tim_Tex is one person I wouldn't mind talking to, because we seem to be at least somewhat on the same level.

I talked politely once to one WP user on msn recently (usually I don't add random people) but just didn't appear online since then. I think I was blocked for no reason or for some reason that I am totally unaware of, hehe.

:( Well, the unfortunate thing there is that I'm like so many women who've stopped here to figure out their boyfriends. I like it here, especially since I have some traits myself, but after a while I found out all I could and came to a pretty sound conclusion about the guys I know, even myself. Now the sheer overwhelm of the number of members and boards here is all that much more evident. I'm definitely the smaller community type of person, where friendships can be more easily formed and there's a much stronger sense of community.

But, I rarely forget a face or a forum. I'll likely pop in here now and again and even leave some input here and there. By the way, I forgot to add you to my list, which just speaks for how overwhelming the number of people here is. I think that just helps prove my point.
:D

Also, shout out to Sunshower, I knew there was definitely one other woman I missed, for sure. I know there must be others.

I like this forum. I don't feel so ashamed to ask questions that I can't ask other people face-to-face and I don't know anyone in RL with ASD, so I spend most of my time with NTs who hate math and don't like science, and in general are not interested in anything I like, or who even think the way I think. So this place is a little rest area where I can converse with people who seem to think and act similar to me.


I actually think these forums can be indispensable for people with AS, but it all depends on their needs. As I said above, I came to research and find out how my man friend's fit into the spectrum, and found out a little about myself in the process. But, that's as far as it goes for me, since I wasn't looking for support myself beyond my original scope, even if I did get more than I bargained for being here.

I hope it continues to be so good for you. Like you said, it's often difficult to find a forum that can actually be helpful.

What Toad already said. The number of forums on here is massive, and since I only came here for my relationship, this is where I landed. I noticed certain people tended to regular certain forums. But it's also about love, right? So it seems to fit to me.

I'll be posting in other forums shortly. I have a couple more topics I'd like to tackle before my hiatus, one I've been meaning to for quite a while to sum up my odd relationship.

I hope some of you can keep in touch while I'm gone. Just drop me some PMs and I'll get them, or add me on AIM or Yahoo as Hotherym, or MSN as orbyss@ureach.com (these are also in my profile).

I seem to connect more with the WP people in the northeastern U.S., or in other countries, than I do the ones in Texas (although the ones I met in person are very cool). Not that there's anything wrong with that, though.

Yet all the jobs in my field are either in Texas or California, maybe a few in Florida.
