Ideal Places for Aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

Are there ideal places for aspies, or is that "the grass is greener" syndrome? I find where I am depressing. There is little work, it is hard to organize any non-general groups (third party political, etc.) , not much to do. and I don't really relate to anyone, and I just feel bored and depressed. Am I being grandiose, or are there places that are more suited to aspies?

I moved to a town in New England in late 2002 hoping people would be more intellectual and more open to ideas. It took a while to start getting connected.

A big city might offer more possibilities, but still might take a while to get connected.

The only ideal place would be a daydream, video game or other fiction of your choosing. RL is never gonna be ideal.
The best you can do (if you have the opportunity) is to go a place where you can utilize your strengths and work within your fields of interests.

I'd avoid small places at all costs. I couldn't take one of those everyone-knows-everyone kind of places. I need the anonymity and diversity of the big city.

I'm not like other Aspies who feel they should spend time with others and get depressed when alone. I love and prefer being alone. I never get lonely or depressed. The closest I come to socialising is going to the Library or shopping centre by myself. I don't want or need other people. It's not a bitter thing. I was never teased about being different. I was lucky but I've always been on my own and preferred it that way. Other people don't like hanging around me either (probably because I intentionally give off "Go Away" vibes!)

Home and in the arms of someone who makes you believe your theirs and vice versa. im very lovey dovey today, can't help it, its the new attention from someone i've been getting lately, they make me hot under the collar, and don't know how much they do. shame he can't be here yet maybe that gives me some quality downtime.

It's taken me a decade but I only volunteer with people/associates/friends for things I know I'll excel at. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going somewhere to flaunt about, just that I know I won't fail miserably there. Today I'm driving a friend to buy a model airplane, he pays gas, food, etc. I get company with another "likely" aspie, and it's all subject matter I can swim in.
I avoid things like Halloween, and holiday parties, as I know the subjects may drift where I don't want to go.
Just pick to do what you've been comfortable with in the past, and kick your own butt out the door to go do again what you were successful (or at least not uncomfortable with) before.

I live in a small town if that dealienates anything. The boredom and cliques are killing me, along with the lack of jobs.

As of late, I am wondering if SE Asia or South America could accommodate an aspie XD .

South America if you're willing to work, know the language, and don't mind extremely low pay vs. high expenses in living.
Brazil and countries like it are booming economies but they are still undergoing a transition from being developing nations. Life is great, but not easy over there.
