Single adults autism / aspergers' with no children

cloud

Hi, I have Autism & not moaning about someone else with autism

Im an adult with autism, due to my inability to form relationships, i would like to find other people who acually have the condition, and not parents complaining about their child, because it's something i totally can't relate to, being unable to form such relationships.

What i'm looking for is adults with autism, and aspergers syndrome, and how it is for them, and not a parent of a child with autism. 

I'm interested in discussing day to day living, and hobbies, and what you do to manage your health, basic things mostly

What social challenges did you have to deal with in your younger years, that you have now overcome as an adult?

    I'm not sure how this turn in the discussion is supposed to help the original poster. I haven't detected any issue between the parents, posting about their children and the ASD adults like me. A parent with an autistic child is likely to have their hands more than full with their own child. How much attention are they supposed to muster or contribute about an ASD adult when other ASD adults here can make a more insightful contribution?

    Also, I think it is entirely reasonable for them to do anything in their powers to improve the situation of their children. Do you want them to sit idly by whilst the world happens to their children? There are things that can be done to improve life for an autistic person.

    I'm really truly sorry that ASD can be devastating for some people but I don't think that we should abandon all hope when the diagnosis is made.
