Greetings and so forth. Not sure what to say here, but I don't expect that to be an uncommon problem. I guess that's why I'm so wordy, it eats up the clock. I also ramble sometimes and go off topic.
Nothing new under the sun, I'm sure.
Anyway, My name is Jake, I'm 27, soon to be 28, and I'm basically trying to break out of my routine a little bit without it costing me my sanity. I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome thirteen years ago. I find it really funny that the site spellchecker doesn't recognize Aspergers.
Let me ask something, fellow autistic folk: Do the neurotypicals around you (friends, family, etc) ever talk about being "connected"? The quotes aren't my own, you can hear them when my parents use the word. They talk like there's some unseen, magical benefit to being "connected" with people. As someone who has a great deal of difficulty talking to someone for no reason (it took me forever to get around to registering and posting on this site), I feel like I'm missing something, because sometimes I feel like the only reason to "connect" with people is because that's what the normies do all the time and I'm supposed to be like them. I know that it isn't it, but it feels like that sometime.
