hi im david i have aspergers syndrome, i find it hard to socialise and find myself alienated and alone...

i was first diagnosed at 13 and am now 38... i still find it hard to communicate even after living with aspergers for all this time... i stammer when i talk and very rarely give eye contact which often makes people believe im not listening or interested in what there saying...

anyone else out there having the same issues or is it just me.... :(

    communication is one thing i trouble with too, especially talking to females... i get nervous and stammer and struggle with what to say??

    id like to tell you it gets easier but unfortunatley i cant, as it varies with confidence...

    i have no confidence with females and after hello, how are you? it kind of dies out!! :(

    i really have an issue with eye contact and always have, people think im rude or not listening or interested in what there saying or asking me...

    i dont like loud noises or bright lights they hurt my ears and eyes! i think most aspies suffer from this...

    i woulod love to have a relationship too, but unfortunatley people just dont understand me and it causes problems as i feel awkward and more often retreat into a shell and stay quiet... leaving them thinking "whats up with him..."

    the only advive i can give you is just be yourself, maybe tell them you struggle with eye contact, and what to say hopefully the man will understand and give you a little encouregement to be you!!

    if u would like to communicate more id be more than happy to help and maybe we could help each other out in these situations...

    keep smiling its not all bad...... :)

    thanks :)
