looking for friends...

davek75

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.... :(

  • I find that I don't want to make friends with most people.  Its hard work even having one or two friends because you have to consciously process the interaction the whole time, no matter how much you like them or how long you've known them or how much you agree on things you discuss.  I literally feel like a robot running a processor the whole time to download from my memory bank.  It might appear fairly seamless to others but it's damned hard work.  I need to plug myself in for a recharge afterwards!
