Next year really could be our year, we have to believe that and maybe it could be true, why not?? My last post seems a bit trite, it's more me trying to motivate me than anything else.

Hi I'm very sporadic here when I pluck up the courage can I join please?

Hi, not really a new member as I registered a couple of years ago, was just too wussy to use this site back then. Female/40/England Am lonely still so I guess that's why I'm here. Have good friends and family just can't really be myself with them and put on a bit of a sociable front. That's it...

Thank you!

Yeah. At least coming on here is something you're doing for yourself, it's a good start.

That's hard. My neighbour has aspergers and his social skills are rubbish, he's often getting himself into trouble as he says things that other people think are out of order. That's why I think finding other like-minded people might be good.

I've just finished 'five people you meet in heaven' and although I'm not religious I found it quite sweet and lovely so recommend it.

It's hard though because on the other hand you want to be honest with people, and also you don't want shallow people who are happy to be your mate until they find out you're a bit different and they drop you. In some ways I think maybe it's better to be upfront and then you know if someone...

It's not easy as you want places to just have companionship rather than rivalry but there must be so many people like you who just want fun hobbies to keep you busy and meet people that there must be good places for you to join I'm sure.

I'm trying hard but I don't know how to quote other people or emphasise things etc, anyone any tips? Thank you!

'Wouldn't mind a dog because they need walking, get me out the house, but ironically i'm terrified of dogs.. God ain't without a sense a humour it seems' Yes his sense of humour does seem a bit wry at times! I can't think what would be a good answer, joining a choir or lots of evening...

Well sometimes you just have to put yourself first and think sod them, in the nicest possible way. If they asked you for help would you help them? If the answer's yes then just ask them for help. My friend put it in a nice way when I needed help. She said it made her feel wanted and useful to...

Emmy, that sounds quite chronic, what is it about being alone that you don't like?

I know what you mean, family and friends expect too much of you sometimes, but that's what teachers/doctors/counsellors are for, people you're not emotionally attached to can be far more help in that way as you have no guilt with them.

Hi Eve, thanks for the warm welcome!

If you can sleep, do so. Whatever you're studying for isn't worth making yourself ill. Start afresh tomorrow and ask for help if you need it, be it from friends, strangers, or a doctor. You take care x

'One of these days I'm probably going to bash my own head in with a baseball bet becuase I feel so stupid and helpless. ' Now that would be stupid! I'm sorry I have no idea how to format on here as I'm new so I'd love to know how to emphasise something or quote something. I know a few people...

You have the 'benefit' of knowing you're different I guess. I'ts not your fault people don't understand you, equally it's not their fault. Do you know anyone else with aspergers or are there any groups near you? It might help to speak to other people who feel like you do.

'and said she was someone for cake' I don't know what that means but I know that cake is a good thing! How far down the aspergers/autism spectrum are you, out of interest if you don't mind saying?
