Though you should think about moving to Chester as Oli is very wonderful, Im sure it would be worth it!

Thank you very much. Usually when people try and think of an adjective beginning with w to describe me they choose weird. Although actually I'm not sure if I or anyone else is enough to make Chester the best place to live.

None taken.

I think the aspies up in the north-west must be shy, I put a message up a couple of days ago and no responses

I'd really love to make some Aspie friends. I don't really have trouble making NT friends, but I get uninterested in them pretty quickly. Especially NT girls. At first they seem nice and understanding of my idiosyncrasies, but then I start hearing about the things that they say behind my back. I just really don't have room for the cattiness in my life. I've lived in the San Diego area for the past decade and after I discovered Asperger's, I tried looking for HFA/AS support groups but I never really came across any. I'm moving to Las Vegas this weekend and I found a pretty active group online today, so I'm definitely looking forward to getting involved with that as soon as I can.

Wow. Las Vegas. That seems like the worst place imaginable in which to live for someone with Asperger's. Why are you moving there?

For the topic at hand, I don't know anyone with Asperger's.

We got a place that's on the opposite end of the city from the Strip, so I won't have to deal with all the crowds, noises, and lights. It's actually a pretty quiet, suburban neighborhood. We're moving out there because my step dad got a really great job there, and it's a lot cheaper to live there than California is.

That makes sense. I had the impression that you decided on your own what a wonderful thing it would be to live in the middle of Las Vegas.

Lol, definitely not. I voted for Portland, Oregon when we were discussing moving, but then the Las Vegas job popped up. So hopefully someday I'll get up to Portland. It sounds like heaven up there.

I very much prefer the east coast, especially the northeast, though some day I'd like to have a home in England, preferably not far from London.

England would be an amazing place to live. I was looking at colleges in England and Wales a couple years ago. It would have been horrendously expensive to go to one though, so I stayed here. I definitely want to vacation in England, Scotland, and Ireland one day though.

They do seem like such lovely places, especially when viewed after spending all of one's years in America. It can be so boring here.

ha ha, it would have been great if you had come, the men would have thought they had gone to heaven!

Why do you say that? I will take that as friendly encouragement! I saw your posts in Meet up thread (finally located it!

) and you seem very friendly and nice!

It was not intended as offensive it just made me happy to think how pleased they would have been to meet someone so beautiful as you.

It will be really nice to meet you and Im sure we will all have fun!

No, no ..no offence was taken as I was genuinely just confused - yes you are right my avatar is nice!

I think it is great you organised this and are planning to do so in future. Would be great meeting you and others!
BTW you are come across very friendly! I would never take anything you say badly anyway!

No grass is greener here! But that is because it rains a lot here!

I love England - but I am allowed to love it - it is my adopted home!

After living in America, going to a country where people still read books would suit me just fine. I'm not looking for a thrill ride.

To my knowledge I've only met one person with aspergers and he was a very defunct individual, due to other disorders he had... I wish I could find someone out here like me to hang about with... I think it would be so easier to relate and get along.

Hey, I don't know if you noticed - there is a meet up thread at the top. People from different countries organise meet ups.

Lotusblossom organised one in Jan in London (which I missed) , but people do meet up - so worth finding out about!

I think Aspies are really quite cool! The ones I have met (not through this site), grand total of 2!

One of them is going to be my friend forever, I know as we have been like best friends for 8 years now. I am sort of borderline AS, but I love my Aspie friends as I can really relate to them.
Sorry for the digression - but thought you might want to know that it is possible to meet AS people IRL.

I've been thinking about that but I haven't seen anyone from even vaguely near here, maybe I'll put an notice up and see if anyone responds. And yes move to Chester! infact I strongly recommend all aspies to move to Chester and we'll make it the unofficial aspie capital of the world! well, it would make my life easier anyway.

Well its a step closer to being the aspie capital, fellow aspie chesterer here. Though I don't really think two makes that much of a dent taking a look at the population?

I've met a fair few aspies but never really clicked with any of them, although my current housemate suspects she might have traits and I get on with her fine. I was semi friends with a aspie boy in my year at secondary but again nothing really clickworthy, just hung out with him and a few others.
