I'll admit that when I'm around people...they can be very immature at times. For example, girls on buses giggling out loud thinking their being cool. Or when I go into Univeristy, there's always some guy making an arse of himself by trying to impress the ladies. So many people are desperate for attention aren't they.
I do enjoy time to myself because I can get stuff done the way I want to do it but I have all the tine in the world for my g/f and I'll always go out with my friends from home.
Still, you get so many people who act like idiots for no reason, annoys the hell out of me but they seem to be the popular ones. I would never act like that to become popular...not worth it.

A lot of people like that in my college too. Probably either because I have AS or that i'm in my mid twenties I just cba with the whole trying to prove oneself thing to other kids. I get on with tutors far better than my classmates.

See, I don't even fit in with other aspies...
You seem to fit in just fine to me. You don't agree with us, but so what? You're entitled to your opinion, and it's a reasonable one.
So, what does the aspie label mean to you? You talked earlier about a difficulty processing information, but is there more?

Currently looking at Skyrim, pretty addicted at the moment 
My brother plays it all the time - it looks great, so I've decided to start playing it as well
Good to see other people like it as well as him (edited 12 years ago)

Someone else who shares my selective misanthropy 
For me it's not I can't make friends, just that I find the vast majority of people to be dull and tiresome. The other 20% of alternative people though, are awesome

An AS guy with a girlfriend? Interesting. How did you meet him?
They do exist, you know
I've had a large variety of relationships. (... none of them have lasted more than a year or so, mind, but I've still had a fair few relationships!)

Going to set up an account just as soon as my chemistry exam is over tomorrow - I decided i could do without extra distractions beforehand....not that I would ever totally ignore revision and play games instead

Oh right, well good luck for it!
Once you play, I can guarantee you won't stop! 
I'm terrible at revision, I can't concentrate on it unless it's a topic I love (and the I'll spend hours on it).Oh, and I also have friend issues...much better now, but I used to be a real loner. People just got put off by my constant reading and love of acquiring an encyclopedia of general knowledge. Apparently that's geeky. Ah well, I'm over it now, I've stopped wanting to change myself. I know who my real friends are (very few people in other words, but they're priceless)

Is it just me, or does anyone else prefer being a loner? I find it much less complicated.

I wouldn't say I prefered it but I do enjoy it from time to time.

I'm mixed. Some of the time, all I want is to be alone. Sometimes all I want is some company, which is when only having a couple of real friends gets me down. But you're right, being alone is so much less complicated. I don't understand all this ridiculous friendship politics. I'm always honest, polite, don't tell other people's secrets...but that actually doesn't appear to count for a lot

I know the feeling. I'm brutally honest and straight with people and I expect the same back. Unfortunately it never happens, usually get them bitching behind my back and too cowardly to mention anything to one in person.

I had a therapy yesterday and I learnt something I can't cope with. Basically, my therapeutist said to me that I'll never be "normal".
I told him that i'd like to get rid of my awkward behaviour when it comes to certain situations and that I never want to do any more mistakes. He said to me that's impossible given the fact this is incurable - like if I wanted someone blind to behave "normally" despite they can't see.
Not that we don't cover my embarrassing situations and analyse them, mind you - but I just can't expect being "perfect". That sort of disappointed me a bit, because I hoped that when I ended the therapy, I would behave the way so that no-one would realise there's something wrong with me. Maybe I could've realised it given the fact there are zillions of possible situations I could encounter every day. You know, if I didn't have arms, I could understand I can't drive - but I have a brain, I can count, I can speak languages, I can cook, so how come I don't understand what I'm doing wrong when it comes to social interactions?!

Normal's overrated, be proud to be an individual

He's being accurate in his statement that you will never think like normal (whatever that is) people however you can adapt your behavior in public to mask your condition. I find training done by behavioral specialists is quite useful in dealing with social situations. Learning the signs of someones mood is really helpful as it isn't always clear, it also helps you to read undertones in people making sarcasm and jokes a bit clearer.
You probably will never be completely "normal" however you can manage normal social situations with some practice.

What exactly happened?
What exactly happened?Basically supervisor got a bit confrontational in my lab meeting and I'm over tired and (I'm realising now) starting with a streaming cold and I just couldn't fight my corner and it was so frustrating and the next thing I knew I was crying and then everyone was embarrassed and wanted me to shut up but I wasn't THAT upset, just ... melting. And then that spilled over into a bit of a panic attacky episode thing. Urgh. I'm a mess.

I just switch off if I'm not interested in the subject, I tend to get very angry if I have to keep studying something I don't like.

Yep! My worst time was in Year 9 - by the end of the year, I had no real work to show for 6 months of Geography and don't even mention German..I dropped them both with much happiness
We were all supposed to take 5 extra GCSE's but school decided I only needed to take 4 because all the options in the 5th block were those subjects...Geography, German, PE! I really do love my school...I was able to take just 4 extra all of which I did well inQuick Reply
