Worth a shot I'll do my best to put myself in words.

26 Male

Memphis, TN area~ USA Been here whole life plan to move soon as I have the money not sure where to yet.

I've loved reading my whole life and I've read so many books I've lost count. I like mainly Fantasy and Sci-Fi books. Two of my favorite series since I was a kid are Lord of the Rings and Dune series. Recently I enjoy The Passage and World War Z and yes I love zombies. I'm currently reading The Wheel Of Time it was recommended to me and it's pretty good.

I have a fondness for stand up comedy never been to a show but on television it's a good way to spend an hour or two. Favorite Comedian is Demitri Martin. Not a big fan of comedy movies they often try a great deal to be family friendly which leaves a lot of the jokes being stale. As for films and TV I really loved "Lo" a film I saw on netflix it was funny, it was romantic, it was a very good film with an interesting filming style all of it happens in a single room and is about a man who lost the woman he loves to a demon from hell and he's trying to call a demon so he can go save her. Fan of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Was watching The Walking Dead this season has kind of put me off with how slow it's going but absolutely adored it for the first few seasons plan to go back and watch it all.

Just finishing school it's trade school for HVAC/R pretty excited happy to finally be done with school and looking forward to my future in the field, I have plans to start my own HVAC business in a few years with experience of how the work goes.

Never had many friends but lately I've been finding all the things I used to think about myself that kept me sad aren't true atleast not anymore. Everyone I meet I can make laugh and I love to make people laugh. I'm shy and don't really open up fast because of trust issues that were learned as a kid, getting better about trusting people who've shown they are good people. Currently have one friend that I drive up the walls sometimes but we've always made up. Want some more friends so I can go out and do things and not just go on my lonesome all the time. Drinking buddies, comedy shows, live action theater is something I haven't been to in so long sadly and I really enjoyed my Community Colleges shows I always went since it was free haha.

I'm smart but not genius and I have a good memory for things I've discussed with people which puts them off because they've forgotten haha.
I learn by listening to someone speak mainly but I read the news every single day on BBC. I always find something new and interesting on the news but don't really like to watch American news simply because it seems to biased on American topics, which makes sense.

I like to discuss nearly any topic and rarely have trouble talking to someone about much of anything except maybe sensitive ones which for everyone can be different.

Have a dog and have had a pet everyday of my life never been without one. Worked at a vet clinic for 5 years very special time for me lots of memories good and bad and embarrassing but I'm glad I did it because I have so many good memories of that job.

I am a very picky eater it sucks to not be able to enjoy everything put in front of me unless it's a burger and fries or pizza. I eat more than that but I'm not listing everything I eat haha but there are some plants too I promise.

Want to exercise more I used to as a teenager I really enjoyed running the feel of wind rushing past my ears the roaring sound.

Looking for anyone and everyone can't guarantee I'll get along with everyone but would like some more friends and love to chat just about everything and nothing.

Ask if I left something out if you want, alrighty later.

I'd love to receive some PMs.

So, something about me:

I'm 25, female, been married for just over a year and graduated from uni last summer (I studied English). I'm from the Netherlands and ehh.. pretty devoid of any friendships (besides my husband and family).

One of my favourite interests at the moment is healthy eating/living (paleo/primal) and looking for new recipes to fit this lifestyle. I also really like reading (read 55 books in 2013 :)). I use Goodreads to keep up with what I've read and still want to read. I love reading fantasy, sci-fi but also Christian non-fiction ('how to live' books on marriage and/or being a Christian). Other than that and 'random browsing' I don't really have any hobbies... Although I don't mind cleaning the house ^^; Oh, well... Candy Crush. I hate and love it.

My sister has some pretty fun online friendships, so it'd be great to have someone to add on FB and maybe chat with or send e-mails to. I'm not averse to meeting irl after a while, but it's certainly not necessary.

Hi there,

Not only am I pretty new to WP... I'm pretty new to where I live too!

I moved to Seattle, WA back in June from New Orleans, LA. I live with my fiance (also an aspie).

We're both pretty shy but love to make new friends. We love playing board/video games and going on adventures around the city (like hiking and trying new retaurants/activities, going to concerts, etc.).

I like talking to pretty much anyone and am always open to being someone's friend (as long as they're a good person... don't be mean. It makes me a sad panda.)

EDIT: just for reference, as I welcome friends of all ages, I'm 27 this month. :)

Hi Everyone,

I'm Amber - I'm female (hopefully that was obvious from my name!) and I'm 21 years old.

I'm a student living in Cardiff and would love to find some people to talk to as I'm getting more than a little lonely. I love baking, writing and reading (and occasionally kayaking!)
I'm not fussy about age, feel free to PM me about anything :)

Hi everyone! You can call me Katniss :) I'm a self-diagnosed Aspie awaiting official diagnosis. I'm also a mom. Although I'm 40, I feel much, much younger. Sometimes I feel like I'm 6 or 7 emotionally.

I'm seeking friends to play games with on YIM, and maybe chat if we're comfortable. If not, that's ok too! :) Male or female is ok. PM me here or on yahoo instant messenger so we can play!

I only ask that you be on the spectrum, too. No trolls lol.

No pressure. Just games.

Any Aspies from Portland or SW Washington? It might be fun to meet up as a group. Not sure what a group of Aspies would talk about, but it would be...................interesting (at the very least).

Message me if you would like. I'm full of good advice. 40 years worth. LOL!

I'm Ryan, 26, from England.
I just recently got back on facebook and am hoping to find people to add on there and talk to at times.
I would like to make some new online friends.
Some of my interests are reading DC comics, watching films (any type) I love The Big Bang Theory and Arrow. I love music but especially love blink-182. I try to play guitar but fail and can play a tiny bit of saxophone but haven't used it for years. I play drums and will be learning bass sometime in the future. I love astronomy and art and sport. I also love photography.
I more recently got into PC building, I'm no expert but if anyone else is interested in that I'd gladly talk about it and learn from others knowledge.
I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Hello all. :) I'm Anne, 19, from the UK. Relatively new to WP and definitely open to forming new friendships, whether online or offline.

My main interests are zoology, zoogeography, anthropology, history and music (especially ragtime/jazz and The Beatles), but I'm comfortable talking about a variety of subjects from current events to TV/film to how people are simply getting on in their lives. I am always accepting of PMs if anyone wishes to talk.

I appear to have entered the "19 onwards" bracket!

Not been on the forum as much as I used to be so many of you may not be familiar with me, all you need to know is on my profile page.
I have been given a few nicknames, like Ten, TPP, Cone, Pence, and Fool; my real name is Nathan

Always open to having a chat on PM or via other means
