Is aspergers a death sentence for having a social life

I don't think it has to be, but it can be tricky. Have aspergers myself and found socialising from school to the end of uni a challenge despite putting myself out there to be more proactive in getting to know others. Made friends, but most of them never really remained that way as we either moved on or found out they were using me as per their own convenience which was unlucky, but trying to keep my head up atm.

Seems also although I'm not as obsessed by things as I was as a child, a lot of my interests don't really fit with people my age so that can naturally create a social dividing line. Was never in the 'in' crowd but they wouldn't have related to me and I them, so in hindsight probably a big positive in continuing with my own things..

If you embrace who you are (aware how cliche that sounds), then you are bound to find like minded people. Societies are a great way to find others with similar interests on campus, whilst it might be worth finding out if your uni offers a support group for those with autism and the like..

I haven't been diagnosed with it, but due to my incredibly poor MH right now i'm seeking private help and part of that will be a diagnosis. i dont know what they are going to diagnose me with; right now i have only ever been offically diagnosed with dyspraxia. I was told I had symptoms of PTSD after I was badly bullied in the past, though with help this is not a problem for me anymore. I've also been told I might be on the autistic spectrum, and have some signs of aspergers. i find it difficult to make friends and sh*t, my parents keep saying it'll be better when i go to university, but im worried what if i have a condition like aspergers that would stop me from having friends and stuff or finding it easy to make them and have them. i can't live my life alone.

Aspergers doesn't exist anymore so its just called autism

Yes it is a death sentence. If you have always had problem socialising, then yeah its likely u might not maintain friends.

I have it. I have no friends. My parents thinks i hate them because of my social inability due to autism. I cant move out even though im nearly 30 because of autism either so im just learning to live miserably. Employment is difficult for me too

yeah im aware its just called ASD but that seems quite broad, like I only recognise some of the aspergers symptoms of being mine...im not obsessive, i dont push people away, i dont prioritise things before friends...how is employment difficult?
